The PowerSafe® VM battery range offers the ideal solution for large capacity,

valve regulated lead acid battery requirements. PowerSafe VM batteries’

RANGE SUMMARY
modular design concept, with its integral racking system, provides a cost
effective, compact battery solution combined with a quick, simple on site
installation process. PowerSafe VM batteries’ extra thick positive grids provide
excellent performance and service life across an extensive range of applications
including, telecommunications, power generation/distribution sites, both low
and high rate UPS and emergency lighting.

PowerSafe VM batteries are designed using proven gas recombination

technology which removes the need for regular water addition by regulating the
emission of hydrogen and oxygen during charging. Oxygen evolved at the
positive plates diffuses through microporous separators to the negative plates,
and, by a series of chemical reactions within the cell, recombines to form water.
Each cell incorporates its own safety valve that allows the controlled release of
gas when pressure builds up within the cell.

The use of gas recombination technology for lead acid batteries has completely
changed the concept of standby power. This technology provides the user with
the freedom to use lead acid batteries in a wide range of applications.

NOTES:
(1) The depth shown in the table is for the module only. Add 86mm to obtain the
overall depth including the front panel.
(2) To calculate the total height of a battery stack multiply the module height by the
number of modules in the stack and add 100mm for the base support except for
the VM -1500, 1700, 2000, 3000, 4000, 4500 and 5000 modules where 120mm must
be added.
(3) The typical weight of the module excludes the connectors, terminal plates, front
panels and base support. H
(4) The excellent flexibility afforded by the modular construction design provides for D
further combinations of capacity, voltage or footprint in addition to those illustrated
in the above tabulation, eg 2VM-3200, 2VM-4800, 4VM-1000, 4VM-1700 etc.
