More backup power in the same space
The new Absolyte IIP standby battery range from Exide Network Power offers the telecom and UPS user a major bonus in not tying up any more floor/ rack space than is absolutely necessary
Offering the greatest energy storage capability with smallest foot print in its class, the new Absolyte IIP standby battery range from Exide Network Power offers the telecom and UPS user a major bonus in not tying up any more floor/ rack space than is absolutely necessary The pressure is on to put more back up power in the same, says Gary Allen (Marketing Manager) and this battery range is clearly the answer." With a capacity range from 105Ah to 4800Ah and is available as 2 volt cells or a 6 volt cell configuration, Absolyte IIP is the third generation offering 15% greater capacity, and a 20 year design life at 25 degC

The BBC has upgraded the batteries powering a fleet of outside broadcast radio vehicles with motive power batteries from Exide technologies.
Electric canal boat is an educational experience
Exide has supplied the batteries and chargers for Elsdale II, an electric powered canal boat that takes local schoolchildren and community groups on educational trips along the Grand Union Canal.
Furthermore, when used on cycling applications as could be expected in situations where power fails frequently, the battery can achieve 1200 cycles to 80% DOD, a top performance figure for valve regulated lead acid technology.
Mindful of industry-wide concerns over premature battery failure, Exide Network Power has taken special care to develop this battery with MFX lead compound to give low gassing characteristics and allow for deep discharge, without detriment to the design.
The positive and negative plates are separated with a highly porous glass fibre mat, which acts as the electrolyte retainer and provides the highest oxygen recombination efficiency, eliminating the risk of battery dry out.
Special attention has been given to seals and battery cells are hermetically sealed using a double-sealing process.
The battery can be stacked horizontally or vertically and it is qualified for use in seismic zone 4 regions.
Added Gary, "This is a rugged design both physically and electrochemically and will give its users peace of mind for standby power throughout its long life.".
