NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES - SBL, SBM, SBH



Main Applications

Ni-Cd block battery are suitable for numerous industrial stationary
applications :

• Power back-up
• Starting
• Bulk energy storage

The Saft block battery range use pocket plate technology.

Benefits

Your benefit is peace of mind and a low overall cost thanks to the following block batteries features :

• Trouble-free long service life
• Low overall cost
• Reliability, no risk of sudden death or thermal runaway
• Low maintenance
• Large operating temperature range

The block battery range consists of :

• SBL blocks, from 7.5 Ah to 1540 Ah for standby energy over relatively long discharge
  periods.
• SBM blocks, from 11 Ah to 1390 Ah for autonomies between 30 minutes and 3 hours or
  mixed loads with high peak demands.
• SBH blocks, from 8.3 Ah to 920 Ah for power requirements over short periods and for
  engine starting.

Configuration

The Saft block battery range is composed of modular pocket plate cells in translucent polypropylene containers welded together into blocks by heat sealing. They have a large electrolyte reserve.

Pocket plate technology

The positive and negative electrodes consist of rectangular perforated steel pockets that are interlaced and pressed into a base to form a very strong plate.
  NI-CD SPL BATTERIES




The Saft low maintenance ranges build upon all the advantages of proven
Ni-Cd flooded electrolyte technology in a comprehensive range of pocket plate
products. These batteries recombine gases within cells to prevent water loss under
normal operating conditions. In this way Saft's Ni-Cd technology works in tandem with
your application for up to twenty years without repeated checks for topping-up while maintaining the twenty plus years life of the product.

SPL cells are designed for standby energy over relatively long discharge periods.

Saft SPL batteries are a reliable energy source for outdoor conditions; they need minimal maintenance and have good cycling capability. It's a range suited to all standard railroad voltages and for all trackside and highway power requirements, from providing back-up D.C. power to a single signal mast, or peak power provision for groups of switch motors, to large uninterruptible power supplies.

The range is available in a capacity range from 80 Ah to 420 Ah.
