several purposes. The applications for VGS Batteries are as follows.

O Telecommunication and portable telephone systems.

O Radio relay stations, Signaling equipment, Railway signaling

O Standby for UPS(Uninterrupted power supplies)

O Alternative power applications (solar, wind).

O Emergency lighting systems, fire and security systems and etc.

 4, Technical Features

4-1 Deep discharge protection .

VGS batteries have excellent deep discharge recovery. The batteries can

be recharged to 80% capacity in 24 hours, even following 30 days (20°C)

connected to a load in the discharged state.

4-2 Low self-discharge

The self-discharge rate of VGS batteries is extremely low in comparison

to normal lead batteries. The reason is VGS Batteries have used the

special lead-calcium alloy and casting machine.

4-3 The low pressure venting system

VGS batteries are equipped with a safe valve, low pressure venting

system which automatically release the excess gas when internal pressure

rises to a level above the normal rate ensuring no excessive build-up of

gas in the batteries. The gas resealing system operates automatically

whenever the pressure is over the normal value.

4~4 Absolute maintenance-free operation

VGS batteries are designed that they are not to require any addition of

water and normal maintenance cares

 4-5 Broad temperature range

It is possible for VGS batteries to use in the broad range of ambient

temperature. The normal operating temperature range for VGS is 10°C to

30°C(best 20±5°C) Higher temperature will seriously reduce service life.

All technical data is produced for a normal temperature of 20°C. Moreover,

lower temperature will reduce the available capacity. The absolute

maximum temperature is 55 °C but should not exceed 45DC in service.

5. Cell Construction

Each cell contains a set of positive and negative plates, insulating

separators and terminals. This group assembly is immersed in a dilution

of sulfuric acid contained within a plastic container and cover.

5~1 Plates

Both the positive and negative plates are made of lead-calcium alloy grids

without cadmium. The using grid of highly anti-corrosive lead-calcium alloy

provides long service life and maintenance-free operation.

(210x297mm) Global & Yuasa Battery Co., Ltd. CG2C 003(REV.l)

 5-2 Positive Plates

The porous and extremely strong tubular plastic jacket encloses the mass

of positive tubular plates. The internal lead spines are cast in the special

antimony-free alloy

5-3 Negative plates

Negative plates of the cell have design to ensure active material retention.

Some additives are blended with active material for negative plates to

achieve the correct characteristics of the battery.

5-4 Separators

Separation of the plates has done by micro porous separators. Separators

made of special material have high ionic conductivity, high resistance to

acid and excellent thermal characteristics. The high porosity of the

separators allows free access of electrolyte to the active materials in the

plates during charge and discharge.

5-5 Container and Cover

Container and cover are made of high grade, impact-resistant and

acid-resistant plastic material. The special sealant prevents electrolyte

from leaking. The joint between the cover and the wall of container is

filled with an acid-resistant adhesive agent to provide acid-proof seal,

gastight and sealed against electrolyte leakage.

 5~6 Venting system

The self-sealing valve prevents air from inhaling after the blow-off of

internal gas pressure to vent in case of the battery being overcharged.

This venting system of the battery is designed to release generated gas _

in a battery if the internal gas pressure rises to the level above the

normal rate.

Thus, it doesn't generate excessive gas in the battery. The venting system

effectively controls generation of gases by the theory of gas-recombination

in normal usage. Therefore, it does not need to require any addition of

water as well as normal maintenance care. The air-inlet and out-let

openings must have sufficient to the natural ventilation. In addition,

VGS can not use perfectly closed place without any air-inlet and out-let

opening system.

5~7 Terminal posts

The newly developed terminal posts provide airtight sealing of the cell

and prevent any oxygen from the atmosphere getting in.

5-8 Connectors

Fully insulated flexible cable connectors are used for inter cell connection.

The connectors that are connected with several batteries are made of

copper or lead-plate copper. Moreover, they have sufficient section area

to secure for high rate discharge.

 6. Electrolyte

The electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid and is fixed in.a thixotropic gel.

The electrolyte is free from iron, arsenic and other impurities that will

impair* the battery performance or shorten its "life.

7. Charge

7-1 Floating Charge

VGS batteries are shipped full charged condition. The float charge voltage

recommended for the battery is 2.23 V/Cell (20°C). If the mean ambient

temperature differs from 20 °C for a long period, the set float voltage

value must be corrected in accordance with the following table.

0 D 2.32 V/Cell

20 D 2,23 V/Cell
25 D 2.22 V/Cell

35 D 2.18 V/Cell
40 D 2.17 V/Cell

(210x297mm) Global & Yuasa Battery Co., Ltd. CG2C 003CREV.1)

 7-2 Equalizing charge

This is carried out using a constant charge voltage of 2.4 v/cell (Max.) up

to 48 hours. The maximum charge current is set at 25 A/100Ah nominal

capacity. However, usually we recommend the optimal charge current is

<20A/100Ah, 2.3v/cell. The recharging time of the battery depends on the

charger and the current limit. And if the battery temperature exceeds

45 °C, the charge must be interrupted or switched over to float charge

until the temperature falls.

8. Discharge

The discharge should be terminated when the appropriate end of discharge

voltage is reached. The batteries should be recharged immediately

following a discharge or partial discharge.

9. Self Discharge Characteristics

VGS batteries have an excellent charge-retaining characteristic, and can be

stored for an extensive period. The self discharge at 20°C is less than

0.1% per day. In the lower temperature, the less is the self-discharge that

takes the capacity out of the battery. When storing VGS batteries, it is

recommended to place them at low temperature possibly between 0°C and

10°C to insure long retained capacity.

 10. Temperature Characteristics

VGS batteries are able to use over the wide range of service temperatures

from sub-zero frigid to the high ambient temperatures. In characteristics

features, VGS batteries enable to be freely selected at the choice of the

designers and engineers. Moreover, there is the. proportional relationship

between the performance of the battery and the temperature under which

it is being used in service. At higher temperature the electrical capacity

that can be taken out of the battery increase, accompanied simultaneously

by increase of self-discharge.

Conversely, at lower temperature the capacity made available from the

battery decreases and the self-discharge is reduced (See figure 2).

Therefore, in selecting the charging system the temperature effects should

also be given proper consideration.

11. Safety sign : Caution

Pay attention to the operation instructions and fix them close to the
battery.
Work on batteries to be carried out by skilled personnel only!

No smoking! Do not expose batteries to naked flames, glowing

embers or sparks, äs this may cause the battery to explode.

Use protective glasses and cloths when working on batteries.

* Acid splashes in eyes or on the skin must be washed away with

water. In all cases consult a doctor immediately! Clothing contaminated
by acid should be washed in water.

Risk of explosion and fire, avoid short circuits!

Caution : Metal parts of the battery are always live. Do not place
tools or other metal objects on the battery!

Electrolyte is highly corrosive! Under normal operating conditions

contact with electrolyte is prevented. In case of damage to the
battery container any leaked contents may be corrosive.

Batteries and cells are very heavy. Ensure secure installation!

Use only suitable handling equipment.

Ignoring this specification, repair with non-original parts or using additives for the
electrolyte will render the warranty void

Back to the manufacturer!

Batteries with this sign must be recycled. Batteries which are
not returned for the recycling process must be disposed of as
hazardous waste.
