Engineered for High-Temperature Telecom Environments. Your central office and data center operations demand reliable backup power that maintains capacity even when cooling systems reach their thermal limits. The EnerSys PowerSafe SBSXL-80F-FT delivers full-rated 80Ah capacity at elevated temperatures where conventional batteries fail.

As battery specialists since 2010, we've deployed over 2,500 telecom backup systems where temperature control directly impacts operational costs. 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 who need consistent performance in temperature-sensitive telecommunications infrastructure.

Why TPPL Technology for High-Temperature Telecom

From Our Telecom Deployment Analysis: After analyzing over thousands of installations across temperature-challenged environments, we've identified why conventional VRLA batteries fail in modern high-density telecommunications infrastructure.

PowerSafe SBSXL Batteries Excel in Critical Applications:

• Central Office Backup: Main distribution frames, digital cross-connects, SONET/SDH equipment requiring 12V DC power
• Macro Cell Sites: 4G/5G base stations, radio equipment, microwave backhaul systems in temperature-challenged outdoor cabinets
• Switching Centers: Class 4/5 switches, session border controllers, softswitch platforms demanding continuous availability
• Substation Control: SCADA systems, protective relays, RTU equipment where utility-grade reliability is mandatory

We've Analyzed What Happens When Telecom Batteries Fail

• Service Outage Costs: Single central office failure averages $150K-300K in SLA penalties, customer credits, and emergency response - battery failure accounts for 23% of telecom power outages
• Thermal Cascade Events: Conventional battery thermal runaway triggers equipment shutdowns requiring 4-8 hours for safe restart - TPPL technology eliminates this failure mode entirely
• Premature Replacement Cycles: Temperature-stressed batteries failing at 3-4 years instead of design life creates unplanned capital expenses and doubles lifecycle costs versus TPPL investment

Q: "Can I mix SBSXL-80F-FT batteries with existing PowerSafe SBS batteries in the same string?"
A: Not recommended. While both use TPPL technology, the SBSXL series has different charge acceptance characteristics optimized for high-temperature operation. Mixing chemistries creates charge imbalance that accelerates degradation of the weaker technology. Plan full string replacement for optimal performance and warranty compliance.

Q: "What float voltage should I set for SBSXL batteries in high-temperature environments?"
A: EnerSys specifies 2.27Vpc (13.62V for 12V battery) at 77°F with -3mV/°C/cell temperature compensation. At 95°F, this calculates to approximately 2.25Vpc (13.50V). Exceeding 2.30Vpc accelerates water loss even in TPPL chemistry, while voltages below 2.23Vpc risk sulfation during extended float periods.

Q: "How do I verify the battery maintains rated capacity in our 90°F central office?"
A: Perform annual capacity tests at actual operating temperature using manufacturer-specified discharge rate (80A for 1-hour rate to 1.75Vpc). Capacity retention above 80% of rated confirms continued service viability. Document ambient temperature during testing - results at 90°F cannot be directly compared to nameplate ratings stated at 77°F without applying temperature correction factors.

Q: "Why choose High-Tech Battery Solutions for EnerSys PowerSafe batteries?"
A: As battery specialists since 2010 with extensive telecom deployment experience, we understand the critical requirements for central office and macro site applications. We provide technical support based on real field installations, not just specification sheets. Our batteries ship with proper documentation for Telcordia compliance verification, and we guide customers through warranty registration processes that generic suppliers often overlook.
