grid | power FNC-VR

The extremely low-maintenance grid | power FNC-VR battery is

developed in line with the HOPPECKE proven fibre matrix plate Product advantages
technology. The addition of the special recombinant technology of Fibre Nickel Cadmium (FNC®)
this battery to the fibre plate design gives exceptional reliability in technology provides the best
critical applications. Therefore, the grid | power FNC-VR provides solution for long reliable
superior performance to other valve regulated Nickel Cadmium battery life with minimal
technologies. maintenance.
The grid | power FNC-VR battery was developed for applications
where the system must be completely reliable with minimal
maintenance. Typical applications are:

UPS systems
Telecommunications systems
Power stations and substations
Safety lighting

Extremely low maintenance Technical data

T he incorporation of a low-pressure valve and a flame arresting Operating temperature range: -50°C to +60°C
vent with the grid | power FNC-VR technology, recombines Float Charge: 1.40 to 1.45 V/cell
oxygen and hydrogen gasses inside the cell with up to 90%
Boost Charge: 1.50 to 1.70 V/cell
efficiency.
Water maintenance period 1.40 V/cell: 20 years at 20°C
The grid | power FNC-VR cell technology with liquid electrolyte
has significant advantages over other valve regulated battery 
Recharge time to 90% available capacity:
systems in which only minimal electrolyte reserves are available. 7 - 8 hours at normal boost charge voltage

– Large electrolyte reserve to protect against dry out in the case of Low pressure valve
a charger failure. Cell jar/lid: Translucent Polypropylene, optional opaque flame
– No tendency to thermal runaway. Therefore, the grid | power retardant polypropylene, UL-94 V0
FNC-VR can be used in a large temperature range. Jar/Lid seal: Welded, leak proof
No water addition or filling is required over a period of 20 years Terminals: Nickel plated steel
when operated on float charge at 20°C. E lectrode design: Nickel plated steel
tab welded to the fiber structure
Electrolyte: KOH density = 1.190 kg/l
