BAE SECURA OPzV BLOCK-N7
Technical Specification for Stationary VRLA – Raised Post Block Batteries
1. Application
The BAE OPzV Series VRLA tubular plate gel batteries belong to the best
EUROBAT classification for maintenance free lead-acid batteries. These
are classified as >12 year, long life, the highest classification according to
EUROBAT. They are ideally suited for stand-by operations with high
requirement of operational safety. They perfectly meet requirements for
bridging times between 1h to more than 10h. The raised-post “N7” design
permits individual internal and connection Ohmic testing on a per cell basis
for a significant increase in reliability.
In applications with high requirements of operational safety and bridging
times of 1h to more than 10h, the BAE OPzV is the right choice.
Application Uses:
Telecommunications
Microwave radio systems
Emergency lighting
Power generation plants
Electrical utilities applications
Outdoor enclosures
Photovoltaic applications
