Saft NCX Ni-Cd batteries are designed to meet the demanding requirements of remote or outside plant in telecom networks.
Main applications
- remote terminals (for FTTX installations)
- access networks
- BTS (base transceiver stations) for wireless networks
- cable networks
- central offices
Benefits
NCX is an attractive alternative to VRLA batteries, particularly under extreme operating conditions:
- high volumic energy density
- extremely reliable backup, by design
- excellent safety and resistance to abuse
- long life
- compatible with all charging systems
Capacity range
80 Ah to 125 Ah.
Example of battery name: NCX 125
Configuration
For a typical 48 V bulk power application, 38 NCX cells are recommended, with each battery module comprising from 3 to 11 cells. During operation, a fixed single rate charge voltage of 1.43 V/cell should be used, rather than temperature compensated voltage control.
Central watering system
Electrically interconnected NCX modules are linked by a central watering system (CWS).
