Zero maintenance for telecomms backup batteries
The Intensium 3 high-energy 48V lithium-ion battery system is designed for telecomms power backup applications.
Switch to NiCd assures Saudi telecomms backup
Saudi Telecom Company installed specialised rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries at 100 sites during 2005 to provide power backup where its remote access network connects to the main exchange.
The new Intensium 1 Power Plus battery is ideally suited for short duration power backup in smaller, decentralised outdoor plant installations, required to support the new generation of telecomms networks, such as micro- and macro BTS, ONU and HFC.
It is especially suited for installations in hot countries where internal summer temperatures can reach +60C - conditions where conventional VRLA (valve regulated lead-acid) batteries age rapidly, resulting in low reliability and premature failure.
Some of the first major telecomms applications for Saft Li-ion batteries include outside cabinets that support the IPTV service for one of the top three US telecomms operators, and micro-BTS deployment for UMTS service for the major European operator.
Three major telecom manufacturers in the top five have also selected the Intensium range to equip their new BTS ranges.
The Intensium 1 Power Plus (1U-Power: backup from 3 to 30min) design takes Li-ion telecomms batteries to the next level by offering double the service life.
So an expected 10 year-life at 20C is now 20 years, and at 40C the life is extended from five to 10 years.
Furthermore the new batteries offer 30% more power, with the maximum power increased from 3 to 4kW.
As well as the standard 48 V battery system, Intensium 1 Power Plus now also offers a 24V version.
It has already received UL safety approvals and will be available in the first quarter of 2008.
Saft is preparing for even greater demand for its Li-ion telecomms batteries by upgrading its manufacturing facilities at its factory in Poitiers, France.
This includes new dedicated assembly equipment in order to ramp up production to several thousand batteries per year. Request a free brochure from Saft Industrial Batteries ...
