Faure-X Cells Complies with: SABS IEC 60896-1 and BS 6290 Product and Service Benefits Locally-Manufactured Range Manufactured by a South African company, proven under South African conditions. Premier Quality Conforms to SABS IEC 60896-1, BS 6290 1984 and manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 quality standards. Nationwide After-Sales Support Countrywide network of branches and agencies, with access to information to ensure sound technical backup. Proven Reliability Some cells were still operating and tested to have full capacity nearly 30 years after their introduction in 1974. Customer Care Every Chloride standby cell carries a comprehensive product warranty backed by the industry leader and supported by a national distributor network. Design Features Designed for all standby duties including power stations, telephone exchanges, telecommunications and emergency lighting . Noteworthy advantages of these cells are: a simple hydrometer reading indicates the state of charge, facilitating inspection, test and maintenance. float charge operation, always ready for use. life expectancy of 15 years . POSITIVE PLATES are constructed of 5mm industrial grids pasted with a long-life paste formulation, suitable for float charge and cycling applications. NEGATIVE PLATES are of industrial pasted grid construction, for balanced performance and life. SEPARATORS made of microporous rubber, for exceptionally long life and have high porosity, ensuring minimum internal resistance. TRANSPARENT CONTAINERS, moulded from styrene acrylonitrile(SAN) to provide optimum transparency and very high insulating qualities, eliminating the need for separate cell insulators CELL LIDS are moulded from opaque SAN. Permanently sealed to the container. VENT PLUGS are of a special design, which effectively returns all acid spray to the cell, but allows free exit of oxygen and hydrogen gases. CELL PILLARS AND CONNECTORS Specially designed to give minimum resistance - maximum current flow. Technical Details VOLTAGE The nominal voltage is 2 volts per cell, i.e. a nominal 110V battery has 55 cells. On discharge, the recommended final voltage at which the discharge should be terminated depends on the discharge rate. For example, discharge curves indicate that the final voltage for the three hour rate of discharge is 1.8 volts. It is not recommended to continue discharging the cells once the final voltage has been reached as the voltage will fall away at an increasing rate with minimal gain of discharge duration. CAPACITY The capacity of these cells is normally rated at the 10hour rate of discharge although the capacity which can be taken from a cell will vary the discharge rate, as indicated in the capacity table. Capacity is also affected by temperature SPECIFIC GRAVITY A simply hydrometer reading indicates the state of charge. A fully charged cell will have a specific gravity of 1.250. FLOAT CHARGING As these cells are designed for standby applications they should be float charged to ensure that they remain fully charged, ready for instant use, at all times. Correct float voltage settings may vary depending upon operational difference but as a guideline 2.25 volts per cell at 25°C may be used as a level of charge which will minimise the need for equalising charges whilst providing acceptable life. The installation and maintenance manual should be read for further information. RECHARGING The cell’s ampere hour efficiency is 90%. To fully recharge the cells the amount of charge required is equal to the amount of discharge in ampere hours plus 11%. INSTALLATION These cells can be connected either edge to edge or face to face. The standard method of connection is to follow the shortest distance between two terminals. the shortest distance between two terminals.
