Product details

The TPL121600FR from CSB is part of the TPL family, featuring a VRLA construction and classified as a 12V front terminal battery. This product utilizes Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology, achieving a gas recombination efficiency of 99%, while incorporating a pure lead construction with proprietary elements. Specifically designed for float backup power applications, the official application direction is telecommunications, and the series is positioned as a front terminal long life telecom pure lead battery, suitable for broadband applications requiring multi-hour operation. In terms of electrical specifications, the nominal voltage is 12 Vdc, and the nominal capacity is 160 Ah (1.80 VPC @25°C, 10-hour rate). If discharge conditions change, the capacity varies accordingly: 159 Ah at 1.75 VPC @25°C, 8-hour rate; 173 Ah at 1.75 VPC @25°C, 20-hour rate; 156 Ah at 1.80 VPC @25°C, 8-hour rate. The maximum charging current is 48 A, the maximum discharge current can reach 800 A, the short-circuit current is 2593 A, and the internal resistance is 3.70 mΩ. The float charge voltage range is 13.5 - 13.8 Vdc/battery (25°C), and the equalization charge voltage is between 14.4 - 15.0 Vdc/battery (25°C). For terminals, the battery uses I2 threaded lead alloy terminals, compatible with M6 bolts, with a torque value controlled at 51.7±10.3 Kgf∙cm / 44.9±9.0 Lbf∙in / 5.1±1.0 N∙m. The case is made of flame-retardant ABS material (UL 94-V0). The entire battery weighs 54.80 kg (120.78 lb), with dimensions: length 547.0±2.5 mm, width 124.8±1.5 mm, height 320.3±2.5 mm. Under 25°C float charge conditions, the design life can reach 12 years, meeting the Eurobat (20°C) >12 years Very Long Life standard. Regarding temperature, the nominal temperature is 25°C (77°F); the allowable temperature range during discharge is -15°C to 50°C (5°F to 122°F); charging and storage must be between -15°C and 40°C (5°F to 104°F). Self-discharge performance: less than 10% after 90 days at 25°C, and can be stored for 6 months at 25°C; it must be fully charged before reuse, and if the storage temperature exceeds 25°C, a supplementary charge is required in advance. The battery is maintenance-free, complies with IEC 60896-21/22:2004, and is recognized under UL1989 (MH14533).
