Yuasa Battery has launched a new long life standby 12V valve regulated leadacid (VRLA) battery that is designed especially for use in telecommunications power applications. The new Endurance ENL10012FT battery features a 15 year design life and has been designed from the ground up to fit into standard telecom equipment racks. Both terminals are at the front of the cell making it easier to connect batteries when situated in power cabinets.

The new Endurance ENL10012FT battery features a 15 year design life and has been designed from the ground up to fit into standard telecom equipment racks. Both terminals are at the front of the cell making it easier to connect batteries when situated 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. The front terminal design makes it far easier for engineers to connect multiple batteries in power systems and also makes maintenance and replacement of batteries a simple operation. With terminals only at the front of a standby system, engineers can simply slide out and replace a cell without having to reach over multiple cells and connect top terminals.

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 leadacid battery design enables its use in any orientation except permanently inverted. Like all other Endurance batteries, Yuasa’s new ENL10012FT is fully compliant with BS62904 and IEC 8962.
