Yuasa Battery has launched a long-life, standby 12V valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery for the telecommunications industry. The new Endurance ENL100-12FT has a 15 year design life and has both terminals at the front of the cell, making it easier to connect when located in power cabinets. The battery shape is different from standard designs, being longer and narrower so that just a single row of batteries is required in a telecoms rack.
Specifications include nominal voltage of 12V with nominal capacity of 100Ah at 20°C to 10.8V. Standby life expectancy is 15 years at 2.26V/cell float charge at 20°C.
Features include M6 female threaded stud terminal and UL94V0 flame retardant ABS case material (Oxygen index 30). Dimensions are 558 x 125 x 233mm (l x w x h) with mass of 41kg. The valve regulated lead-acid battery design enables its use in any orientation except permanently inverted. Like all other Endurance batteries, Yuasa’s new ENL100-12FT is fully compliant with BS6290-4 and IEC 896-2.
