LPFG — front-terminal GEL batteries for telecom
Country: China · Model: LPFG
The LPFG series consists of 12 V GEL monoblocks with front terminals, ranging from LPFG12-70 to LPFG12-180. They are installed at base stations, where a battery stands for years in float mode and only occasionally supplies energy during a mains outage.

Description
The electrolyte is thickened into a gel and the case is sealed using VRLA technology, so topping up with water and checking density are not needed. The design service life is up to 16 years at 20 °C, and the temperature inside the container decides how much of that period the battery actually serves. Both terminals are on the front panel, so the blocks fit into 19″ and 23″ telecom cabinets and can be serviced without pulling out the shelf. Gel is less prone to electrolyte stratification than AGM, so the series is chosen for sites with long pauses between discharges. A string of the required voltage for the power bus is built by connecting monoblocks in series.
How to choose
Choose the model by capacity and the required autonomy time of the load; within the LPFG12-70 … LPFG12-180 range the cabinet fit and terminal layout are the same. If the site has no air conditioning and the cabinet stays hot, compare with the high-temperature LHT series. For daily cycling, lithium LFeLi batteries with a life of 5000 cycles at 50% DoD are better than lead.

FAQ
What is the service life of LPFG gel batteries?
Up to 16 years at 20 °C in float mode. A higher temperature in the cabinet shortens this period, so on hot sites provide ventilation or cooling.
Will LPFG batteries fit into a 19-inch cabinet?
Yes, the terminals are on the front and the dimensions are designed for 19″ and 23″ telecom cabinets. Connection and terminal tightening are done from the front.
How does the front-terminal gel LPFG battery differ from the AGM LPF series?
In LPFG the electrolyte is thickened into a gel, in LPF it is held by a glass separator. Gel handles long float operation better, while AGM gives higher output at large currents.
What is the nominal voltage of one LPFG monoblock?
Each monoblock is rated at 12 V. For a telecom DC bus the blocks are connected in series into a string of the required voltage.
Do LPFG batteries need maintenance?
No, the sealed VRLA GEL design recombines gases and topping up with water is not provided. It is enough to check the block voltage and connection tightness periodically.
