SMU-F-BATTERY 8
1.0 Introduction
The SMU-F range of Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries is designed to meet the needs of
the wireless communications industry. Safety, reliability and a long service life in standby applications
are the result of an industry-leading manufacturing technology and a product design purpose-built for
the requirements of a wireless communications network.
Alpha Technologies also offers a full line of racking solutions to accomodate the SMU-F range of
batteries. Front-terminal SMU-F batteries provide easy access to terminals for installation and
maintenance, eliminating the need to purchase expensive sliding mechanisms to provide terminal
access.
The SMU-F range includes 8 models – a revolutionary idea to reduce space requirements and
minimize the number of terminations – to make it easier to install and maintain these batteries. Other
features of the SMU-F range include:
No additional water is needed throughout their life thus reducing maintenance costs as compared
to vented (flooded) batteries.
Meets the requirements of modern electronic equipment and is compatible with normally available
recharging systems.
Compact construction and excellent performance at high rates of discharge provides big savings
in volume and weight as compared to conventional flooded, vented batteries.
Because there are no perceptible amounts of gas emissions under normal operating conditions,
batteries can be installed in the same environment where people live and work.
Substantial savings in installation and maintenance costs compared to conventional vented
batteries.
No special rooms are required and only minimal maintenance is needed during the life of the
battery.
Smaller, lighter, and more compact than traditional batteries, SMU-F batteries, with integrated
handles, are easy to move.
Delivered filled and charged for immediate use.
1.1 Main Applications
Wireless Communications
SPACELL SMU-F batteries have a proven track record of performance in many parts of
the communications network including Central Office, Huts, CEV’s and Remote Terminal
cabinets.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
The low internal resistance Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) FA batteries make them a good
choice for U.P.S. applications, especially for Industrial U.P.S. and extended run-time
applications.
