Robust technology for demanding environments

The batteries used in the RBC132 Cartridge are based on the proven VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) with an AGM system (Absorbent Glass Mat), in which the electrolyte is safely bound in a glass fibre mat. This makes the batteries completely leak-proof and allows operation in any position. The low self-discharge ensures long storage capability and readiness for use. The robust ABS plastic housing of the batteries offers excellent protection against mechanical influences.

It is recommended to note the replacement date of the battery via the software or the display, and to perform a self-test function. A runtime calibration may be useful to ensure the exact remaining time display.

The service life of the installed batteries is up to 5 years in typical standby operation in a UPS unit at 20 °C. The actual lifetime may be affected by factors such as ambient temperature and the frequency of power failures.

What do I have to consider when disposing of the old cassette?

Lead-acid batteries are hazardous waste and must not be disposed of in household waste. You can dispose of your old cassette at municipal collection points, recycling centres or at any dealer who sells starter batteries free of charge and in an environmentally friendly manner.
