Enersys BC Cell

Key Features

• Power Density - Pure lead products offer the greatest high-rate power density for your energy dollar.
• Cycle Life - Delivering up to 300 cycles EnerSys CYCLON products outperform other competitive lead products that can only delivery up to 200 full cycles.
• Float Life - Conventional sealed-lead batteries have a three to six year standby life, CYCLON Single Cells have a ten-year design life at 25°C, C/5, to 80% of rated capacity. At 20°C, CYCLON battery single cells offer a fifteen-year design life.
• High Stable Voltage Delivery - A low internal resistance lead to a high stable voltage delivery. This low internal resistance allows CYCLON batteries to discharge and recharge more quickly and efficiently which offers greater application flexibility.
• Safety - UL recognized for emitting minimal to no gassing under normal charging conditions makes this battery ideal for any human-occupied environment.
• Widest Temperature Range - CYCLON batteries maintain their performance and physical parameters in extreme conditions due to its strong construction and high vent pressures.
• Rugged Construction - CYCLON batteries can not only withstand extreme temperatures but also harsh usage. Single Cells are housed in UL 94V-0 rated material. The metal jacket adds flammability protection. CYCLON batteries are also shock and vibration resistant to so it can be wherever you need extreme power.
• Fastest Recharge - EnerSys pure lead chemistry allows these batteries and cells to offer the ighest recharge efficiency of any sealed-lead battery on the market. With pure lead, you can acheive a 95% state of recharge in less than one hour.
• Orientation/placement/transport - CYCLON batteries can be mounted and operated in any position, an attractive feature for less accessible area.

Physical Construction

• Resealable Safety Valve - A 50-PSI vent lets gases escape, then automatically reseals, so there's no risk of excessive gas accumulation within the battery, or "dry out" failure from repeated charges.
• Pure Lead Plates - Made from 99.99% pure lead, Cyclon battery plates are extremely thin, so they offer more surface area than conventional batteries - and far more power.
• AGM Plate Separator - High purity acid is absorbed right into the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) plate separators, so the CYCLON battery provides leak-proof operation in any position.
• Steel Can Enclosure - The CYCLON battery's metal outer jacket offers extreme shock, vibration, temperature, and flammability protection.

Shelf Life

Pure lead batteries have an extremely low self-discharge rate, thus providing extended storage capability while maintaining high state-of-charge levels for dependable operation.

CYCLON battery Single Cells and Monoblocs have a shelf life more than two times that of conventional lead batteries. To assure maximum reliability, EnerSys recommends that all stored cells/batteries be recharged (boost charged) once every 24 months or when the open circuit voltage drops to 2.00 volts per cell, whichever occurs earlier. Inventory should be checked more frequently if storage temperature regularly exceeds 25°C.

Transportation

Effective September 30, 1995, CYCLON battery Single Cells and Monoblocs were classified as "nonspillable batteries", and are excepted from the Department of Transportation's comprehensive packaging requirements if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The battery is protected against short circuits and is securely packaged and (2) The battery and outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked "NONSPILLABLE" or "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY". CYCLON battery shipments from the EnerSys plant in Warrensburg, Missouri will be properly labeled in accordance with applicable regulations. Packaging changes performed at other locations may require additional labeling, since in addition to the battery itself containing the required marking, the outer packaging of the battery must also contain the required marking: "NONSPILLABLE" or "NONSPILLABLE BATTERY".

CYCLON battery Single Cells and Monoblocs have been tested and determined to be in compliance with the vibration and pressure differential tests contained in 49 CFR § 173.159(d).

Because CYCLON battery Single Cells and Monoblocs are classified as "Nonspillable" and meet the conditions above, [from § 173.159(d)] they do not have an assigned UN number nor do they require additional DOT hazard labeling.

The regulation change effective September 1995, was to clarify and distinguish to shippers and transporters, all batteries that have been tested and determined to be in compliance with the DOT Hazardous Material Regulations, the International Civil Aeronautics Organization (ICAO), and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Packaging Instruction 806 and Special Provision A67, and therefore excepted from all other requirements of these regulations and classified as a "nonspillable battery".
