Yuasa Battery has published a new datasheet covering its latest long life standby 12V valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries that are designed especially for use in telecommunications power applications.

The four page datasheet provides detailed specifications and information on the Endurance ENL100-12FT batteries that feature 15 year design life and have been designed from the ground up to fit into standard telecom equipment racks. Both terminals are at the front of the cell making it easier to connect batteries when situated in power cabinets. 

The battery shape is different from standard designs being longer and narrower so that just a single row of batteries is required in a telecoms rack. The front terminal design makes it easier to connect multiple batteries in systems and also makes maintenance and replace-ment of batteries a simple operation. Engineers can simply slide out and replace a cell without having to reach over multiple cells and connect top terminals.
