Pocket Plate Ni-Cad Batteries
Flooded Nickel Cadmium Cells (8 - 1580AH)
Nickel Cadmium pocket plate batteries are the most reliable and rugged batteries available today. They
can withstand, to a great extent, any type of abuse like overcharge, deep discharge, even accidental
reverse charge and can be stored in any state of charge.
Pocket plate batteries are manufactured in 3 series (L, M, & H) based on their performance capabilities.
They are available in 1.2V single cells and in 1.2V, 2.4V & 3.6V multi-cell blocks.
SBSs pocket plate batteries are supplied with the electrolyte, intercell connectors, related hardware and
accessories required for normal operation and maintenance.

The Nickel Fibre matrix used for the fibre plate allows 90% of the
electrode volume for holding the active material. The three dimensional
fibre structure also provides good conductivity to ensure excellent
electrical performance. In addition the Nickel Cadmium Fibre plate
technology uses active material free from graphite and iron. Elimination
of graphite ensures that the electrolyte does not get carbonated and
the elimination of iron reduces water consumption.
Fibre plate batteries are manufactured in 4 series (L, M, H & X) based
on their performance capabilities. They are also available in 1.2V single
cells or 2.4V or 3.6V multi-cell blocks.
SBSs fibre plate batteries are supplied with the electrolyte, intercell
connectors, related hardware and accessories required for normal
operation and maintenance.

Valve Regulated Pocket Plate Ni-Cad Batteries
Ultra Low Maintenance Nickel Cadmium Cells (8 - 744AH)
VRPP (valve regulated pocket plate) batteries were designed to meet
the needs of applications requiring the traditional high reliability of nickel
cadmium pocket plate cells without the need to top-up with water. The
VRPP battery works on the oxygen recombination principle and therefore
has a much reduced water consumption. The level of recombination of
these cells is 85-95%. Normal vented type cells will have only a 30-35%
recombination efficiency. When the VRPP cells are properly float charged
(between 1.41-1.43vpc) they will not need to be topped off with water for
nearly 20 years. If the levels do become low during the life of the battery
there are provisions to add water to the cells. The VRPP batteries are
available in 1.2V single cells or 2.4V or 3.6V multi-cell blocks. SBSs VRPP
batteries are supplied with the electrolyte, intercell connectors, related
hardware and accessories required for normal operation and maintenance.
Features
Long float life: 20-years without need to top-up
High cycle life 2000 cycles @ 20% DOD
Reliable and predictable performance
Operating temp of: -4F to 131F (Storage: -22F to 113F)
Low maintenance
Minimal gassing
Very resistant to electrical and mechanical abuse
20 year warranty including 1 year full
