Product details
As a member of the Zelus GBS series, the GBS12/43.5B.B. battery represents a reliable application of advanced gel electrolyte technology. This battery adopts a valve - regulated sealed design, and its core lies in mixing sulfuric acid with silica ash to form a gel - like fixed electrolyte. This technological innovation almost completely eliminates the common electrolyte evaporation and overflow phenomena of traditional flooded batteries, thereby effectively avoiding subsequent corrosion problems. The gel electrolyte not only fixes the acid solution to prevent stratification but also endows the battery with stronger environmental adaptability, enabling it to better resist the effects of extreme temperatures, shocks, and vibrations.Its valve control system is responsible for safely discharging the gas generated internally. Structurally, it is similar to traditional non - sealed wet batteries, but the key difference is the replacement of antimony in the lead plates with calcium. This change significantly reduces the battery's gas evolution tendency while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
The GBS series batteries are provided in 6 - volt or 12 - volt integrated forms, with a wide capacity range from 7 to 225 ampere - hours (Ah), offering users flexible choices. Its installation method is also very convenient, supporting multiple installation positions including horizontal and vertical.Under normal operating conditions, this series of batteries exhibits excellent durability, with an expected service life of up to 12 years and a cycle life as high as 2500 cycles, which meets the 'long service life' category defined by the Eurobat standard. For example, the GBS 12/43.5 model has a nominal capacity of 43.5 Ah at the 100-hour rate (C100). Its deep cycle design is intended to provide maximum capacity output and discharge cycle performance. The monthly self-discharge rate is extremely low, with capacity loss less than 2%, truly achieving maintenance-free operation without the need for periodic electrolyte addition.
This battery's excellent performance makes it an ideal power source for numerous critical application scenarios.It is widely used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, fire and safety alarm systems, emergency lighting and monitoring systems, telecommunication facilities, and various medical equipment. In the field of public infrastructure, it provides stable power for street lighting and traffic lights; for special vehicles, it is suitable for golf carts and floor cleaning equipment; in the renewable energy field, it is a reliable energy storage partner for solar power stations and wind power systems. Its design ensures long cycle life and long service life even in harsh environments such as high temperatures, as the gel filling inside the battery allows heat to be smoothly conducted to the shell for dissipation.
Specifically, the GBS 12/43.The technical parameters of Model 5: its nominal voltage is 12 volts, with a nominal capacity of 43.5 ampere - hours (Ah) under the condition that the final voltage per cell is 1.80 volts at a 100 - hour rate. The approximate weight of the battery is 16.1 kilograms (about 52.91 pounds). It adopts Type I2 terminals, and the internal resistance at full charge is 8.0 milliohms. The maximum discharge current the battery can withstand can reach 640 amperes within 5 seconds, and the maximum charging current is 8.7 amperes. Its operating temperature range is wide, from - 20 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius (- 4 degrees Fahrenheit to 131 degrees Fahrenheit), suitable for various climate environments. The standard version of the shell material uses ABS plastic, complying with UL94 HB standard;Users can also choose ABS materials with a higher flame retardant rating, complying with UL94 V - 0 standard, with the model corresponding to GBS 12/43.5FR. The physical dimensions of the battery are approximately 197 millimeters (7.76 inches) in length, 165 millimeters (6.5 inches) in width, and 171 millimeters (6.73 inches) in height, with the total height the same. A special valve design with a stable and precisely controlled open/close pressure range is crucial for ensuring the battery achieves a good cycle life.
