Long Rate Performance
LCEP Range
10 Ah – 1660 Ah
The L range has the thickest plates and is designed for applications where the battery is required to provide a reliable source of energy over relatively long discharge periods. Normally, the current is relatively low in comparison with the total stored energy and the discharges are generally infrequent. Typical uses are communications and bulk energy storage.
Medium Rate Performance
MCP Range
9 Ah -- 1390 Ah
The M range is designed for applications where the batteries are usually required to sustain electrical loads for between 30 minutes to 3 hours or for 'mixed' loads which involve a mixture of high and low discharge rates. The applications can have frequent or infrequent discharges. The range is typically used in switchgear applications.
High Rate Performance
HCP Range
9 Ah -- 920 Ah
The H range uses very thin plates and is designed for applications where there is a demand for a relatively high current over short periods, usually less than 30 minutes in duration. The applications can have frequent or infrequent discharges. The range is typically used in starting and UPS applications.
