FAQs

General Battery Questions:

• Do VRLA(valve-regulated lead-acid battery) batteries require regular addition of water to the battery cells?
  VRLA batteries do not require regular addition of water to the battery cells. he key technology in "valve regulated" lead-acid battery is "recombination", which means that the oxygen evolved at the positive plates will largely recombine With the hydrogen ready to evolve on the negative plates, creating water and so preventing water loss.
• What is the commonly used model in B.B. Battery series?
  BP series is the first model in AGM battery family. lts designation positions as a commonly used battery. Under normal 25°C ambient temperature, BP series offers up to 8 years floating life and over 1000 cycles with 30% DOD. It has been comprehensively installed in many applications.
• What is the commonly used B.B. Battery model for electric bike/motorcycle?
  EP, EB, EVP series are created along with electric bike/motorcycle. They were featured with a long cycle life. They are sold to power tools, wheel chair, golf car, etc.
• What is the commonly used B.B. Battery model for high-rate discharging in UPS use?
  HR, SHR series are developed to satisfy the increasing demand on high rate/super high rate discharging in recent UPS market. It demonstrates a cost-effective design and professional technique on production.
• What is the commonly used B.B. Battery model for long floating life for telecom, marine and solar/PV?
  BPL, MPL series presents a long floating life design with suffix Under normal 25°C ambient temperature, they perform over 10 years even 12 years floating life. They are the suitable models for telecom, marine, solar, etc.
• What is the commonly used B.B. Battery model for long floating life for telecom, marine and solar/PV?
  BPL, MPL series presents a long floating life design with suffix Under normal 25°C ambient temperature, they perform over 10 years even 12 years floating life. They are the suitable models for telecom, marine, solar, etc. FTB, MSB, MSU series are appropriately developed for telecom application. Floating life was defined over 10 years even 15 years, with capacity of MSB series can reach maximum 3000 Ah.

GEL Battery Questions:

• What is the gel battery series in B.B. Battery models?
  Zelus is a VRLA battery with a gelified electrolyte; the sulfuric acid is mixed with silica fume, which makes the resulting mass gel-like and immobile. Gel batteries virtually eliminate the electrolyte evaporation, spillage (and subsequent corrosion Issues) common to the wet-cell battery, and more features like greater resistance to extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. The valve regulation system allows for gas to be expelled. They are the same as wet (non-sealed) batteries except that the antimony in the lead plates is replaced by calcium. This preserves the mechanical characteristics but renders the construction far less prone to gassing.
• What is the commonly used deep-cycling model in B.B. Battery series?
  A deep-cycle lead-acid battery is designed to deliver a maximum capacity and cycles as discharging. Battery-driven vehicles, such as golf carts, wheel chair and floor sweepers commonly use deep-cycle batteries. The lifespan of a deep cycle battery will vary considerably with how it is used, how it is maintained and charged, temperature and other factors.
  
  GB-C was designed with solid lead plate and gelled electrolyte technology. Product will operate more efficiently in a less than-ideal environment than a comparable AGM product.
• What is the commonly used long cycle life model for solar/PV in B.B. Battery series?
  Maintenance and lifespan are always considered as key factors for the batteries in off-grid solar home or back-up emergency power system.
  
  GB-S delivers long cycle life and prolong life in elevated ambient temperatures. The gelled electrolyte transfers heat generated during cycling outside of the battery more efficiently than other VRLA technologies.
• What is the commonly used model for standby applications ?
  For standby applications, Gel battery can survive more strongly in critical environment conditions whatever long discharging time, higher ambient temperature. GB-(R) and GFT employ advanced lead plate and gel technology, GB (R) has design life 10 years and GFT is 12+ years, specially deliver reliable electricity supply under challenged situation.

Motive Power Traction Battery Questions:

• What is the reliable and long cyclic life model for traction and all industrial motive applications in B.B. Battery models?
  Spur, the power energy cells provide high efficiency in discharge with advanced components in the construction of plates. The available cell box contains optimized positive and negative plates. Products designed and produced to minimize environmental affection. High-tech production equipments introduce a highly reliable and consistent battery cells. The combination of highly qualified design, material and production integrates the European harmonization of the DIN and BS range.
  
  BPzS & BPzB batteries are widely recognized as the superior stored electrical energy solution for material handling equipment, road vehicles, tow tractors and other electric vehicles with high energy/ deep cycle requirements.
