The SUNLIGHT AccuForce Solar is a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery series that has been developed as general purpose batteries, designed to provide reliable performance in a wide field of applications. The SUNLIGHT AccuForce Solar batteries respond to the needs of security systems market, UPS, telecommunications, IT applications and emergency power supply. The Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery is a rechargeable battery type with a safety valve, which allows the internal pressure to be released in case of overcharge. This maintenance free battery has no need for topping-up water or electrolyte during the entire service life.
Key Features of AccuForce Solar series
- High performance
With low internal resistance and efficient discharge characteristics, AccuForce Solar batteries can be applied to many fields, especially in deep cycle applications.
- Maintenance free
During the service life, there is no need to check the level of the electrolyte or to add water. The gases produced during electrolysis are almost completely recombined to water (up to 99%) through an effective reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
- Safety valve design with AGM separator
Excessive gas produced by overcharge or an incorrect charging method is released through the safety valve, which detects rising internal pressure and allows gas to exit and then automatically reseals. The AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) separator maintains a constant distance between the plates and immobilizes the electrolyte, so that the possibility of acid leakage is minimized.
- Leak and spill proof container
The construction of the AccuForce Solar batteries with a highly resistant material guarantees that no electrolyte leakage will occur from the terminals or case. The sealed construction of the battery allows perfect operation in any position (vertical or horizontal but not completely inverted position).
- Wide temperature range and float service life
AccuForce Solar batteries operate within a wide range of temperatures. The nominal service life is ~10 years in float / standby applications while operating in optimum temperature of +20ºC to +25ºC.
- Low self-discharge rate
Using a lead / calcium grid alloy, the self–discharge is minimum. The battery can be stored for 9 months under normal conditions (+20ºC to +25ºC) with no permanent effect on the capacity or the expected service life.
