CSB XPL8000FT Battery - 12V 195 Ah Front Terminal Extreme Power AGM

The XPL8000FT is a front terminal block built for 23 inch rack and cabinet installs, a 12 volt 195 Ah unit rated 821 watts per cell at the 15 minute rate to 1.67 volts per cell at 25°C. The case is a different shape from the rest of the range: 21.97 inches long and only 4.96 inches wide, standing 12.72 inches tall, so blocks sit side by side across a rack shelf with both terminals facing the aisle. That is what makes a string maintainable without pulling units. It weighs 143.96 lbs, carries 2.17 milliohms of internal resistance and delivers 1,660 amps over 5 seconds.

Warranty

Warranty. The term from CSB on the Extreme Power range is 5 years. Design life sits apart from that and runs longer: up to 10 years in standby service at 25°C (77°F), with greater than 12 years on the Eurobat 20°C basis. Country of origin is Taiwan. Terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.

Built for the Front of the Rack

Front terminal access
Both posts face the aisle, so connections can be torqued and impedance readings taken without unracking a 144 pound block.
821 watts per cell at 15 minutes
To 1.67 volts per cell at 25°C, with 1,287 watts at 5 minutes and 1,831 watts at the 30 second rate.
A 4.96 inch wide case
Narrow and deep rather than square, which is what lets a 23 inch rack shelf carry a useful number of blocks across its width.
  • 195 Ah at the 20 hour rate - to 1.75 volts per cell at 25°C, from the CSB price list, since the per-part datasheet rates this series in watts only.
  • 2.17 milliohms internal - low for the capacity, which matters on the long strings these blocks are normally built into.
  • 4,570 amps of short circuit current - carry this figure into protective device coordination before the bank is energized.
  • 66.70 amps maximum charge current - the recovery ceiling, and the specification that usually sizes the rectifier on a bank this large.
  • 21.97 inches deep - measure rack depth including the terminal hardware and cable bend radius, because depth is the binding dimension on this case.

Technical Documentation

Where This Battery Is Used

  • 23 inch telecom racks - front access installs where a technician has to reach every terminal from the aisle.
  • Data center battery cabinets - purpose-built enclosures where blocks are racked horizontally and serviced in place.
  • Central office DC plant - 48 volt strings on long float intervals, with maintenance driven by impedance trending.

Ordering and Freight

At 143.96 lbs a block this needs lifting equipment and two people, and racking should be planned before delivery. Delivery is freight pre-paid by LTL to a commercial address; a residential or limited-access drop carries a $100 addition for the liftgate and site access. Send the quantity, delivery ZIP and your required-on-site date, and a specialist returns volume pricing and freight in writing in 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does front terminal change day to day?

Maintenance. On a top terminal block in a rack you either work blind over the top of the case or pull the unit, and at 143.96 lbs pulling it is a two person job with a lift. Front terminals put both posts at the aisle face, so torque checks, impedance readings and cable work all happen with the block in place. On a bank of forty that is the difference between a routine inspection and a planned outage.

Will it fit a standard 19 inch rack?

Not as designed. The case is 21.97 inches long and CSB builds this line for 23 inch racks and purpose-built battery cabinets. In a 19 inch rack the depth becomes the problem rather than the width, because the terminals and cable bend radius add to that 21.97 inches. Send the rack model and we will confirm the fit in writing before anything ships.

How does the 8000FT compare with the 9000FT?

Identical case, identical footprint, identical weight class within about 9 pounds. The 9000FT delivers 907 watts per cell at 15 minutes against 821 and 200 Ah against 195, with lower internal resistance at 1.86 milliohms against 2.17. So the larger block is a straight upgrade in the same rack space, and the decision is budget and load rather than fit.

What float and charge settings does it need?

Float at 13.5 to 13.8 VDC per battery and equalize at 14.4 to 15.0 VDC per battery, both at 25°C, with charge current held at or under 66.70 amps. On a bank this size the rectifier is usually the limiting factor rather than the blocks, so send its rating with your enquiry and a specialist will confirm the recharge time you should expect.

Next rating up: CSB XPL9000FT907 watts per cell at 15 minutes and 200 Ah, in exactly the same rack case.
Planning a front access battery cabinet?

Send the rack depth, the shelf rating and the load you need to carry. A specialist confirms the block fits and sizes the string in writing, with no obligation to buy.
