Key features
Pure Lead Technology: The battery’s 99.99% pure lead plates provide a longer service life, excellent high-rate discharge capability, and superior performance in elevated temperatures compared to standard VRLA batteries.
Front Terminal Design: The terminals are located on the front of the battery, which is ideal for rack-mounted applications like telecom cabinets and data center servers. This design allows for easier and safer installation and maintenance.
High-Rate Performance: With low internal resistance, the PLH170FT is optimized for applications that require high power output over short durations, such as UPS systems.
Long Shelf Life: The battery can be stored for up to 24 months at 25°C (77°F) before requiring a freshening charge.
Flame-Retardant Case: The battery case and cover are made from a premium ABS+PC material that is flame-retardant to UL94 V-0 standards.
Oxygen Recombination: As a VRLA battery, it uses oxygen recombination technology, making it maintenance-free by eliminating the need for water additions.
Primary applications
Telecommunications: Base stations, switching centers, and network access points.
Data Centers: UPS systems and network infrastructure.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Medium to large-sized UPS systems.
Renewable Energy: Storage for medium to large-scale solar and wind power systems.
Emergency Systems: Emergency lighting, backup power, and alarm/security systems
