Solar 12-230

12V230AH

Solar Series SLA Battery

Solar Series
By combining the newly developed nano gel electrolyte and high density
positive plate paste, BSB Solar series Valve-regulated lead acid
batteries offers high daily cycle life and high recharge efficiency at the
very low charge current. The acid stratification is highly depressed by
adding of gel electrolyte. This range battery is highly suited to energy
storage for renewable energy such as PV and wind turbine power
systems applications.

Application
Photovoltaic system
Renewable Energy System
Electric Utility
Outdoor control Equipment
Railroad Utility

General Features
12 years float life at 20C
Up to 5 years design life at renewable energy applications
Wide operating temperature range of -15 to 60C
Nano gel electrolyte eliminate the acid stratification and prolong cycle life
Round trip efficiency as high as 85%
Thick positive flat plate with high density paste
Low self-discharge rate and long shelf life( 1 year at 25C)
Excellent deep discharge recovery capability
