Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) has added a further battery to its SWL family of industrial valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with a new 12V model, the SWL3800.
Suitable the makers say for use in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and similar high discharge rate applications, the product delivers the same as other batteries in the SWL family. Typically, this provides up to 40pc extra high-rate discharge capacity when compared with standard NPL series batteries, it is claimed.
The battery features a nominal 10hr rate capacity of 124Ah to 10.8V at 20 degrees C. Standby life expectancy is up to 10 years (design life at 20 degrees C). The new product features a UL94HB ABS case material as standard with flame retardant (FR) option available for UL94V0 applications. The battery can be installed and operated in any orientation except permanently inverted. The new battery complies with IEC61056 and IEC60896-21/22. Case dimensions are 350 x 173 x 272mm high with typical mass of 48kg.
Operating temperature ranges are minus 15 to 50 degrees C (charging) and minus 20 to +60 degrees C (discharging). Optimum storage temperature in fully charged condition is from -20 to +50 degrees C. Other specifications include low self-discharge characteristics during storage, maximum discharge current of 1200A for 1s or 600A for 1min and impedance of 4mΩ measured at 1kHz.
