VRPP-Ni Cad Battery
VRPP’s controlled recombination system, with valve regulated venting means no water replenishment is
needed during its lifetime under recommended operating conditions. VRPP performs in severe
O O
environments, in temperatures ranging from -20 C to +50 C, and can survive over-discharge, reversal or
prolonged overcharge with no damage.
The Pocket Plate design consists of the active materials encapsulated between folded steel strips which are
perforated from both sides. This double perforation method increases the effective surface area by 30% and
helps in better utilization of the active material thereby making the battery more efficient. In addition to the
Pocket Plate design, the VRPP batteries use a special separator which allows gases generated during
charging to recombine inside the cell thus ensuring no water is lost. This makes the VRPP battery virtually
maintenance-free. A self resealing type vent cap is also employed to release any excess pressure
developed inside the cell during abnormal operation.
Construction
The construction of VRPP is based on conventional pocket plate technology, introducing special features
to eliminate the need for water topping.
Negative plate
Polypropylene cell container
(Double perforated steel strip
(Fusion welded to lids, makes the cell with negative active material)
mechanically sturdy and facilitates visual
electrolyte level inspection)
VRPP battery is available in both welded (shown here) and bolted construction.

Battery applications
HBL's VRPP batteries are the best solution for installations, whether they are UPS systems, emergency
lighting systems, telecommunications, where the risk of failure of the system is unacceptable and frequent
maintenance is difficult. VRPP batteries are also eminently suitable for remote applications such as
photovoltaic systems, offshore oil and gas and switching substations, where the system must have total
reliability without the need for battery maintenance.

Calculation of length :
length of rack = (x + 5) x no. of block cells in a row ( for all block cells )
Where x = length of cell or block cell for row-wise mounting ( i.e. For B 21/22/23/24/41B/42/42A/44/45-1)
= width of cell or block cell for cross-wise mounting ( i.e. For B 44-2/42A-2,3/42-2,3,4,5/41B-2,3,4,5)
The value of length should be rounded-off to nearest to 50 mm and 5mm should be added.
Important changes :
1. For single tier racks lower step gable height increased to 300mm instead of 115mm
for better accessibility of bottom row cells and terminal assembly.
2. But for two tier racks lower step gable height is maintained as 115mm since terminal
assembly will be provided on the upper tier.
3. Rack legs or side supporters assembled to inside, reducing the width of rack by
angle width.
4. The changes have been taken into consideration while calculating above dimension.
