Product details
The GB12/160B.B. battery is part of the Zelus GB series, a valve - regulated lead - acid (VRLA) battery using gelified electrolyte. Its core technology involves mixing sulfuric acid with silica fume to form a gel - like and immobile substance. This gel electrolyte design fundamentally avoids the common issues of electrolyte evaporation and leakage in traditional flooded batteries, thereby significantly reducing potential corrosion risks. Meanwhile, the GEL technology endows the battery with excellent environmental adaptability, enabling it to have stronger resistance to extreme temperatures, impacts, and vibrations.The battery is equipped with an internal valve adjustment system to safely discharge the gas generated inside.
Structurally, it uses calcium instead of antimony in traditional lead plates. This change significantly reduces gas evolution while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
This battery operates at an overall voltage of 12 volts. Its nominal capacity is 160 Ah at a 20-hour rate (C20) and 152 Ah at a 10-hour rate (C10), with a weight of approximately 55 kilograms (121.3 lbs). The physical dimensions are designed to balance space utilization and stability, with length, width, and total height of 522 mm, 202 mm, and 219.5 mm respectively.The battery terminals are of standard type B9, with an optional I3 type. The installation method is flexible, supporting horizontal and vertical installation to adapt to various equipment layout requirements.
The GB series batteries, including this GB12/160 model, are designed for deep cycle applications, aiming to provide maximum capacity and durable discharge cycle performance. It has an ultra-long designed service life of over 12 years, classified as a long-life battery according to Eurobat standards, and can provide up to 2500 cycles under normal operating conditions. Its features include high mechanical strength from gel electrolyte, excellent high-temperature stability, and extremely low acid displacement, ensuring reliability and durability under heavy load and deep discharge conditions.The patented safety valve system can precisely control internal pressure, further ensuring battery safety and extending its overall lifespan.
This makes the GB12/160B.B. battery an ideal choice for numerous critical and backup power applications. It is widely used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, fire and safety alarm systems, emergency lighting and monitoring systems, telecommunications facilities, critical medical equipment, street lighting, and traffic signal control. Meanwhile, it is also an efficient power source for electric vehicles such as golf carts and floor cleaning equipment, and performs exceptionally well in renewable energy sectors like solar and wind energy storage systems.
