Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) has launched its new Yu-Power YPC series of batteries offering double the cycle life of conventional cyclic use batteries at 75% depth of discharge (DOD). The new batteries are ideal for use in a wide range of applications encompassing mobility scooters and mobility aids, electric tools, lawn mowers, power packs, portable apparatus, golf trolleys and golf carts, lighting instruments and solar.
Yu-Power YPC series batteries feature low maintenance and valve regulated construction combined with heavy duty plates and separator systems. The new batteries are capable of up to 500 charge/discharge cycles ensuring long service life.
Battery electrolyte is retained solidly in the separator and the gas recombining system ensures minimum gas discharge, freeing the user from any maintenance requirements. The plate barrier prevention and separator systems help to ensure deep discharge use, thus considerably prolonging the battery service life.
Cyclic use batteries are often left in a discharged state after use and the resultant plate corrosion can lead to shortened life. With a self discharge rate as small as 0.1% per day at 20°C, the Yu-Power YPC range avoids this problem and extends the storage period capability.
Ten 12V models are available in the new Yu-Power YPC range offering higher capacities from the same footprint as standard cyclic batteries. Nominal capacities at 25°C (20hr rate) are 8.5, 13.94, 22, 26, 30, 35, 46.8, 55, 78.7 and 104Ah.
6V model added to high discharge rate range
Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) has added a further battery to its SWL family of industrial valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries with a new 6V model, the SWL2500-6.
Well suited for use in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and similar high discharge rate applications, the new SWL2500-6 delivers the same performance as other batteries in the SWL family. Typically, this provides 40% extra discharge capacity compared with standard NPL series batteries.
The 6V SWL2500-6 features a nominal ten hour rate capacity of 180Ah to 10.8V at 20°C. Standby life expectancy is up to ten years (design life at 20°C).
The new SWL2500-6 features a UL94HB ABS case material as standard with a 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 IEC 61056 and IEC 60896-21/22. Case dimensions are 297 x 168 x 231.5mm high with typical mass of 32.5kg.
Operating temperature ranges are -15 to 50°C (charging) and -20 to 60°C (discharging). Optimum storage temperature in fully charged condition is from -20 to 50°C. Additional specifications include low self discharge characteristics during storage, maximum discharge current of 1,500A for one second or 800A for one minute and impedance of 3mO measured at 1kHz.
The new Yuasa SWL2500-6 is available from a range of distributors in the UK.
