Low Maintenance
VTX 1 L - VTX 1 M
8 Ah -- 1700 Ah
Operating temperatures as high as +40°C
The Vantex design is based on the same robust construction and unique electrochemistry that has enabled Alcad Ni- Cd batteries to establish an unrivalled track record for reliability and long-life. But now, Vantex takes Ni-Cd design a stage further by delivering exceptional performance and low-maintenance requirements combined with a long service-life - even at operating
temperatures as high as +40°C. Vantex is specially adapted for any stationary industrial backup power installation requiring a battery that ensures maximum reliability and optimum TCO
(total cost of ownership) while operating for long periods at high ambient temperatures. Typical applications will include the utility and oil and gas industries.
Easy to use and easy to handle
Vantex is designed for ease of transportation, installation and operation. The cells are assembled in blocks of up to 6 cells to facilitate transportation, and are delivered ready-filled with electrolyte to make installation fast and simple. When filled, Vantex batteries can be stored for up to 2 years in normal conditions.
Low-maintenance
In addition to its extended service-life in high ambient temperatures, the key feature of Vantex is its high-technology low-maintenance pocket-plate construction. This ensures very efficient gas recombination, with very low gas emission, well in excess of the requirements of IEC 62259. As a result, a Vantex battery may require just one topping-up operation throughout its entire service-life.
Chargeability
Vantex offers very good chargeability, reaching over 95 per cent of its capacity in less than 15 hours using single-level low-voltage charging.
Wide range of capacities and exceptional reliability
Vantex is available in a wide range of capacities, from 8 to 1700 Ah, with a choice of L type plates - for relatively long discharge periods, or M type plates - to sustain loads from between 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Vantex offers exceptional reliability thanks to its robust Ni-Cd construction and engineered electrolyte. This ensures a long and predictable service life, and unlike the VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) batteries often found in stationary applications, Vantex cannot suffer from 'sudden death', even in extreme conditions.
