Leoch PLH190FT-A Pure Lead Long Life Battery
Leoch PLH190FT-A Battery - 12V 190Ah Pure Lead Front Terminal
Warranty
What Pure Lead Buys You on Float
- Wide thermal window - operates from -40°C to +65°C, which covers an unconditioned hut through both seasons.
- Two-year shelf life - spares wait in the warehouse without a maintenance charger babysitting them.
- Shielded terminal caps and one-way vent - protected posts and controlled venting in a sealed, non-spillable case.
- UL recognized; built under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and IATF 16949 - the paperwork a carrier-grade site audit expects.

Where This Battery Is Used
- Central offices and carrier cell sites - the -48V plant string where a battery change means a crane and a permit.
- Remote and unconditioned cabinets - sites that swing hot and cold through the year and get visited on a schedule, not on demand.
- Rail and wayside signaling - long service intervals in enclosures nobody wants to open in January.
- Utility substations - switchgear tripping and SCADA backup where the replacement cycle is measured in decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PLH190FT and PLH190FT-A?
They are the same Leoch model. The current Leoch catalog prints it as PLH190FT(A), and the page you are on sells that current-production unit. If your submittal or an old purchase order says PLH190FT with no suffix, send it over and we will confirm the match in writing before you order.
Why choose pure lead over a standard AGM at the same capacity?
Grid corrosion. On float duty a battery spends years being slowly eaten by its own charging current, and high-purity lead corrodes at a fraction of the rate of cast alloy grids. You pay more per unit and buy fewer battery changes per site, which usually costs less in total when every visit involves a truck roll and 127-lb lifts.
How does a 20-year design life square with a 60-month warranty?
Design life is Leoch's engineering estimate of service under ideal float conditions. The warranty is the period in which Leoch will replace a failed unit. The gap between the two is normal across the industry. Terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
Does it run in a hot, unconditioned cabinet?
The operating window runs to +65°C, and pure lead tolerates sustained warmth better than standard alloy AGM. Sustained high ambient still shortens any VRLA's service life, so tell us the cabinet conditions with your quote request and a specialist will tell you what to expect at your site.
Can I replace a discontinued 190 Ah front-terminal unit with this?
Usually, but confirm three things first: voltage, footprint and terminal hardware. The 559 by 125 mm footprint matches the common 190 Ah front-terminal tray pattern, and the M6 front terminal is the detail most often missed. Send a label photo of the outgoing unit and the tray dimensions and we will check the drawing against your rack.
