Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes SBS XL batteries achieve 20-year design life?
A: The Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology provides exceptional corrosion resistance. Pure lead grids resist positive grid corrosion - the primary aging mechanism in VRLA batteries - extending service life to 20 years at 20°C.
Q: How much can I save on cooling costs with SBS XL batteries?
A: By maintaining 10-year life at 35°C, you can raise AC set points by 10-15°C or switch to free cooling systems. This typically reduces cooling energy consumption by 30-50% while maintaining battery reliability.
Q: What's the recommended float charge voltage?
A: Float charge at 2.29Vpc at 20°C or 2.275Vpc at 25°C. The batteries operate across -40°C to +65°C, but optimal life is achieved with temperature-compensated charging.
Q: Are these batteries approved for air transport?
A: Yes. SBS XL batteries are classified as non-spillable and approved as non-hazardous cargo for land (ADR/RID), sea (IMDG), and air (IATA) transportation.
