RPS Expands Range Of Front Terminal Batteries For Telecom Power Back-up Applications

RPS Power Systems, an Ultralife company, has expanded its line of valve-regulated-lead-acid (VRLA) batteries by introducing the LDT12-190FT battery (12V / 190Ah front terminal) which, through grid and plate optimization, offers an increased capacity to 190Ah in the same footprint as the 170Ah and 180Ah front-terminal batteries while providing Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) and Telcordia compliance.

The LDT12-190FT is optimized for long-duration (12-year design life) standby power requirements for telecommunication applications that include fixed wireline, wireless, PBX systems, microwave, mobile switching systems, broadband headend, fiber optic distribution, electric utility/switchgear, data centers, and alternative energy.

As a complement to RPS’ existing line of long-duration telecom batteries that offer ample coverage for most cabinet sizes and application demands, the LDT12-190FT is available in both modular, 4-post and standard 19" and 23" rack power systems meeting NEBS and UBC Seismic Zone 4 requirements.

Additionally, the LDT12-190FT battery comes complete with carrying handles, features a 3-part post-to-cover seal for ensuring operating service life integrity, copper alloy front terminals for ease of installation and maximum current-carrying capability, and is designed and manufactured in compliance with NEBS, Telcordia GR, Telcordia SR, IEC, BS, UL, ISO, and CE quality and performance standards.
