| Health & Safety |
When
lead acid and Nickel Cadmium wet cells are charged, they emit a potentially
explosive mixture of Oxygen and Hydrogen. Adequate ventilation when installing
equipment in confined areas is essential. A battery is electrically live at
all times and can not be isolated in the conventional sense. Therefore, precautions
restricting unauthorised access to battery rooms and cabinets should be undertaken. |
| Battery Options |
Powerfaze
central battery units are supplied with 10 year life sealed lead acid batteries
as standard. Descriptions of battery options offering a variety of costs,
service life and maintenance required are detailed as follows: |
| 10 Year Life Sealed Lead Acid |
Valve
regulated lead acid batteries are the most popular choice for central battery
systems as they are maintenance-free and have an expected service life of
10 years. The interior construction immobilises the acid within a sponge like
material and the electrolyte remains throughout the charge and discharge cycles.
There is no loss through gassing during the life of the battery as the cells
are completely sealed. |
| Flat Plate Lead Acid |
Low
antimony pasted plated cells are housed within a translucent plastic case,
which ensures ease of checking electrolyte levels. The cells have a low internal
resistance, which result in good regulation, especially at higher rates of
discharge. A large electrolyte reservoir enables longer periods between topping
up. This type of cell has a reasonable tolerance to neglect and has a service
life between 12 and 15 years. |
| Planté Lead Acid |
There
high performance cells offer ultra reliable trouble-free service when well
maintained. The clear cell casing enable the electrolyte levels to be checked
easily and a large electrolyte reservoir limits maintenance requirements.
The cells retain 100% capacity throughout their design life and give excellent
performance at high or low levels of discharge. This type of cell has a service
life up to 25 years. |
| Nickel Cadmium Alkaline |
These
cells are extremely robust and will tolerate arduous operating conditions.
The cells have translucent cases to enable the electrolyte level to be checked
easily. Deep discharge has no adverse effect on the cell capacity and unlike
lead acid cells, they can be left in a discharged condition without incurring
damage. This type of cell has a service life up to 25 years. |
