FAQ
Why Do I Need A Battery?
It is a false economy not to address the threats of a power loss. A battery is the final defense in the event of a power failure and will allow you to:
- Maintain critical loads
- Start alternative generators
- Have peace of mind
Why is the nickel-cadmium my best choice?
Your battery is your insurance policy, and nickel-cadmium is the most reliable owing to the alkaline chemistry. A nickel-cadmium battery gives:
- Unsurpassed operation in extreme temperatures: -50°C to +60°C
- No risk of sudden death - or thermal runaway
- Unlimited storage
- Excellent resistance to overcharge and over-discharge
- Low life cycle cost
It's reliable - but how much maintenance will it require?
Alcad nickel-cadmium technology provides a lifetime of reliability in return for regular inspection:
- No special charging equipment needed
- Easy visual checking of electrolyte levels
- Minimal topping up requirement - for some ranges up to 20 years' interval in standby applications
Cost of failure? What failure, what cost?
Imagine:
- Your hospital generator fails to start; penalty - potential loss of life?
- Your data center without power; penalty - reinstallation and lost business.
- Your emergency lighting fails during a fire; penalty - potential loss of life?
- Your process control without power back-up; penalty - no control over shut-down.
But can I afford a nickel-cadmium?
Can you afford to take the risk not to install the most reliable battery? Consider:
- The cost for the battery is very low compared to the values it protects
- Whole life cost is more important than initial cost
- Long life gives lower total cost and better reliability by avoiding repeated battery replacements
