Renewables, Telecommunications and Utility
Battery Range Summary
The PowerSafe® RL series of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries are
specifically designed for low rates of discharge over long periods
where the current is relatively low in comparison to the total amp
hour rating. The pocket plate design and Ni-Cd chemistry provide
exceptionally long life at extreme temperatures. This coupled with
the inherent low maintenance requirements make the PowerSafe RL
battery series an ideal choice for renewables, telecommunications
and complex duty cycle applications.
The robust design means an excellent resistance against electrical
and mechanical stress, low risk of terminal degradation and a proven
20 plus year service life. This combination and extensive use in
service make the PowerSafe RL battery the right choice for industrial
applications requiring superior reliability and the highest safety
integrity covering discharges of one hour to 100 hours.
