Product details
The GBS12/85B.B. battery is a representative product in the Zelus GBS series, which is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery using gelled electrolyte. The core technology involves mixing sulfuric acid with silica fume to form a gel-like and immobile electrolyte. This GEL technology almost completely eliminates the common problems of electrolyte evaporation, overflow, and resulting corrosion in traditional flooded batteries, while also endowing the battery with superior performance, including stronger resistance to extreme temperatures, shocks, and vibrations. Its valve adjustment system can safely discharge internally generated gas.Structurally, it is similar to wet batteries, but the key difference is that calcium replaces antimony in the lead plates. This not only retains excellent mechanical properties but also significantly reduces the battery's gas evolution tendency.
This battery is provided as a 12V unit with a nominal capacity of 101Ah (85Ah at a 1-hour rate), capable of meeting the needs for stable power supply in various scenarios. The battery has a flexible design, supporting both horizontal and vertical installation methods, which provides convenience for users in spatial layout.Under normal operating conditions, the expected float charge service life of GBS series batteries can reach 12 years, while the cycle service life can be as high as 2500 deep cycles. This aligns with Eurobat's definition of long-life batteries, ensuring reliable returns on long-term investments. Its capacity ranges from 7 to 225Ah, with specific values such as C2, C5, C8, C10, C20, C100 depending on different discharge rate requirements.
The GBS12/85 battery performs excellently in multiple key application scenarios. It is an ideal choice for uninterruptible power supply systems, fire and safety alarm systems, emergency lighting, and monitoring systems. Additionally, it can provide stable and reliable backup power in telecommunications facilities, key medical equipment, street lighting, and traffic signal systems.For mobile devices such as golf carts and floor cleaning equipment, its deep cycle design can provide powerful power support. In the renewable energy field, including solar power stations and wind power systems, this battery is a core energy storage component. Its long cycle life and durable performance under high temperatures ensure the efficient and stable operation of the entire system.
The advantages of this product stem from its sturdy design and advanced technology. It is developed using solid lead coating technology and gel electrolyte, making it a true deep cycle lead-acid battery designed to provide maximum capacity and optimal discharge cycle performance.The gel electrolyte completely fills the internal space of the battery. This not only allows heat to be more evenly conducted to the outer shell, aiding in heat dissipation, but also effectively prevents acid stratification, extending the battery's lifespan. The battery is completely maintenance-free, and users do not need to worry about water replenishment. Its self-discharge rate is extremely low, with a monthly capacity loss of less than 2, making it suitable for long-term storage. The specially designed valve system has precise on/off pressure distribution, which is crucial for protecting the internal structure of the battery and maximizing cycle life.
From specific parameters, the GBS12/85 model battery has a voltage of 12V and a weight of approximately 29.5 kilograms, compact size design, with a length of 329 mm, width of 172 mm, and height of 214.5 mm. It is equipped with standard I2-type terminals, which are sturdy and reliable, facilitating easy connection. These physical characteristics allow it to be flexibly adapted to various cabinets and installation environments. Whether used to ensure the continuous operation of communication equipment, serve as the energy storage core of solar photovoltaic systems, or guarantee that traffic lights and road lighting do not interrupt at critical moments, the GBS12/85B.B. battery can, with its reliable technology, long lifespan, and extensive application adaptability, become a trustworthy power solution.
