Engineered for Maximum Runtime in Extreme Temperature Conditions. Your most demanding telecommunications and energy storage installations require the highest available capacity that maintains performance when thermal conditions challenge equipment limits. The EnerSys PowerSafe SBSXL-170F-FT delivers consistent 170Ah capacity at elevated temperatures where conventional high-capacity batteries experience accelerated failure.

As battery specialists since 2010, we've deployed over thousands of telecom backup systems where maximum runtime capacity determines infrastructure resilience. This precision-engineered 12V front terminal battery features EnerSys Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology delivering 10-year service life at 95°F - designed for professionals managing critical applications where extended backup windows are non-negotiable.

Why 170Ah TPPL for Critical Extended Runtime Applications

From Our Maximum Capacity Deployment Analysis: After reviewing thousands of installations requiring extreme backup capacity across telecommunications and utility sectors, we've documented performance requirements when maximum runtime meets temperature stress.

PowerSafe SBSXL-170F-FT Batteries Excel in Maximum Runtime Applications:

• Macro Cell Extended Backup: 5G base stations requiring 8-12 hour backup windows, distributed antenna systems, remote outdoor sites with unreliable utility power
• Central Office Critical Infrastructure: Core switching equipment, network operations centers, regional hubs where extended outage support is mandatory
• Large-Scale Energy Storage: Commercial solar installations, utility-scale peak shaving systems, microgrid applications requiring maximum deep-cycle capability
• Substation and Switchgear Protection: High-capacity protection systems, SCADA networks, critical RTU arrays demanding extended runtime assurance

We've Documented Maximum Capacity Battery Failure Patterns

• Extended Outage Runtime Shortfall: Batteries degrading below design capacity cannot support calculated 8-12 hour backup windows during actual utility failures - forcing emergency load shedding when reliability matters most
• Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability: Single macro cell site failure during regional outage affects thousands of subscribers with restoration costs including emergency generator deployment, crew overtime, and regulatory penalties
• Energy Storage ROI Erosion: Maximum capacity batteries failing at year 5-6 instead of projected 10-year life create substantial increase in levelized cost of storage - undermining commercial solar and peak shaving business cases

Battery specialists since 2010 serving maximum runtime applications. Because extended backup windows aren't optional.

Q: "How does the 170Ah capacity benefit our extended backup window requirements?"
A: The 170Ah rating provides approximately 13% more runtime than 150Ah configurations at identical discharge rates. For applications requiring 8-10 hour backup windows, this additional capacity creates critical margin during actual outage events. The TPPL chemistry maintains this advantage throughout the 10-year service life at 95°F, unlike conventional AGM batteries that lose capacity progressively. Calculate your specific runtime using the 8-hour rate (21.25A continuous) to 1.75Vpc at your operating temperature.

Q: "What is the significance of the 3.0 milliohm internal resistance?"
A: The exceptionally low 3.0 mΩ internal resistance delivers maximum discharge efficiency during extended backup events. During high-current discharge supporting 8-12 hour runtime requirements, minimal resistance means reduced voltage drop and heat generation. This enables accurate runtime calculations and prevents premature low-voltage disconnects. In -48VDC systems with multiple batteries in series, the low resistance maintains string voltage throughout the discharge profile, ensuring equipment receives adequate power until capacity is truly depleted.

Q: "Can these batteries operate in extreme cold environments?"
A: Yes. The SBSXL-170F-FT operates across -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C) range. In cold weather installations, capacity is reduced according to standard temperature correction factors - approximately 80% of rated capacity at 32°F (0°C). However, the TPPL chemistry maintains substantially better cold temperature performance than conventional AGM batteries. For outdoor macro cell sites in northern climates, this wide operating range eliminates the need for supplemental heating systems while maintaining reliable backup capability.

Q: "Why choose High-Tech Battery Solutions for EnerSys maximum capacity PowerSafe batteries?"
