C&D Pure Lead Plus (PLP) Series: A Comprehensive Overview for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Applications

The C&D Pure Lead Plus (PLP) series represents a significant advancement in Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery technology, specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of modern Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. This series is designed to deliver reliable backup power, extended service life, and enhanced performance, particularly in the critical environments of data centers and other essential operations.

A Synthesis of Power and Longevity

At its core, the Pure Lead Plus series is engineered to provide superior performance and an extended operational life, even at elevated ambient temperatures. This makes it an ideal solution for facilities where consistent and reliable power is paramount. By leveraging proprietary pure lead paste and advanced grid technology, C&D has developed a battery that not only ensures power continuity but also offers a reduced total cost of ownership through lower replacement and maintenance frequencies.

Core Features: Engineered for Reliability

The C&D Pure Lead Plus series is distinguished by a range of features designed to maximize performance and lifespan:

• Extended Service Life: A design life of over 12 years at 25°C (77°F) and a 5-year warranty at 30°C (86°F) ensure long-term reliability and reduce the frequency of battery replacements.
• Enhanced High-Temperature Performance: The series is optimized to operate efficiently at higher ambient temperatures, a critical advantage in modern data center environments aiming to reduce cooling costs.
• Pure Lead Technology: The use of high-purity lead and proprietary paste formulations results in significantly improved performance, higher energy density, and a longer service life compared to conventional VRLA batteries.
• Advanced AGM Technology: Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology effectively recombines gas, minimizing the need for maintenance and ensuring safe operation.
• Durable and Safe Construction: The batteries feature a flame-retardant polypropylene case and cover (UL94 V-2), and a thermally welded case-to-cover bond to prevent leaks, ensuring robust and safe operation.
• Flexible Installation: The series can be operated in any orientation (upright, side, or end mounting), providing versatility in various installation scenarios.
• High Energy Density: The innovative design allows for a smaller footprint, requiring up to 40% fewer batteries than some competitors for the same runtime, thus saving valuable rack space
