East Penn Manufacturing announces the release of the Unigy High Rate Series line of absorbed valve-regulated, lead-acid batteries with a new 10-year design life for UPS service. The Unigy High Rate Series uses the latest AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) technology to lower internal resistance for superior high-rate, short-term discharges delivering critical power when needed.
For extended long-term performance, the Unigy High Rate Series features inserted posts with epoxy post seals that act as a secure barrier to keep in acid and critical pressure. Special “puncture resistant” glass mat separators lowers internal resistance for increased high-rate power while protecting against failures and shorts. Tank-formed plates also extend life by optimizing cell voltage balance and performance. In addition, heavier, thicker positive plates are pasted from both sides for added durability and extended service life.
Specifically designed for high-rate uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), these batteries are housed in reinforced cases constructed of polypropylene or flame-retardant plastic (rated 28 LOI), 12-volt monoblocks. Low pressure self-sealing valves prevent premature dry-out and minimize gassing. Flame arrestors are installed on all flame-retardant batteries for added safety Utilizing state-of-the-art computer-aided design and manufacturing, the Unigy High Rate Series meets the highest quality standards in the industry.
