FAQs
What are OPzS batteries and what makes them different from other lead-acid batteries?
OPzS batteries are flooded lead-acid batteries that use tubular plate technology, offering excellent deep discharge capability and long service life. They are especially well-suited for standby power and renewable energy applications due to their durability and low maintenance needs.
What is the typical lifespan of an OPzS battery?
OPzS batteries have a design life of 20+ years when operated under recommended conditions, including a controlled environment and regular maintenance such as topping off electrolyte levels.
Do OPzS batteries require maintenance?
Yes. OPzS batteries are flooded batteries and require periodic maintenance, including checking and refilling the electrolyte with distilled water, cleaning terminals, and performing regular inspections to ensure optimal performance.
What is the operating temperature range for OPzS batteries?
OPzS batteries typically operate effectively between -10°C and +45°C (14°F to 113°F), with optimal performance and longevity at or near room temperature.
Are OPzS batteries compliant with industry standards?
Yes. OPzS batteries meet DIN 40736-1 and IEC 60896-11 standards, ensuring they conform to international quality and performance requirements for stationary lead-acid batteries.
What is the typical application for OPzS batteries?
OPzS batteries are used in a variety of applications including backup power for utilities, telecommunications, industrial control systems, and renewable energy storage systems (solar, wind, etc.).
How should I store OPzS batteries if not in use?
Store in a clean, dry, and cool environment. Ensure batteries are fully charged before storage and recharged every 6 months to prevent sulfation. Electrolyte levels should also be monitored during long-term storage.
What safety precautions should I follow when handling OPzS batteries?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure proper ventilation, avoid sparks or open flames, and follow proper lifting procedures due to the batteries’ weight. Electrolyte is corrosive and must be handled with care.
