C&D LCT II-1700

C&D Technologies' Standby Power Division, an experienced manufacturer of round cells, introduces the LCT II-1700. This flooded battery incorporates proven and reliable floating epoxy post seal design and features solid copper posts to improve short duration (less that 5 hrs) rates up to 12% over comparable products. This combination makes the LCT II-1700 a superior, high quality, reliable long-life battery for today's standby applications.

Features and Benefits:

Reliability

• Proprietary design results in 12% increase in performance in short duration (< 5 hrs), high rate applications
• Unique Floating Epoxy Post Seal construction provides leak-free operation throughout the product life
• 30% greater jar-to-cover seal area reduces leaks for trouble-free operation
• Waterbath charging results in consistently formed plates for reliable performance out of the box (no cycling required in the field)
• Proprietary expander enables stable and uniform float voltages (down to 2.17 Vpc), reducing the need to equalize
• Suspended positive plate permits free growth without pressure on jar and cover

Safe Operation

• Flame-retardant covers enhance battery plant safety with self-extinguishing properties LOI>32%, UL 94V-0
• Low-evaporation, flame-arrester vent to extend watering intervals and prevent external sparks from reacting with the hydrogen inside the cell
• NEBS approved battery systems (cells and racks) that meet telecom companies'
• specifications
• Narrow 17" (43.18 cm) depth racks available – NEBS qualified

Cost Savings

• Transparent container allows visual inspection of plates
• No requirement for periodic specific gravity readings
• 50% reduction in the quantity of posts for reduced installation and maintenance costs
• Double-hole, cross-drilled posts for plates parallel or perpendicular to the rack installation
• Lead-plated solid copper posts for low maintenance; bolt-on connections require
• minimal retorquing
• Redundant connectors standard for continuous operation for increased up-time and maintainability
