Description
The positive plates are tubular (gauntlet), the electrolyte is thickened into a gel and the case is valve-regulated (VRLA), so the gases recombine inside and no water has to be added. The design life at 20 °C is 20 years for 2 V cells and 15 years for blocks, and a higher room temperature shortens it. The capacity is given for a 10-hour discharge (C10), so with a shorter autonomy, as in a UPS, the available capacity will be lower than the nameplate value. Cells and blocks can be installed horizontally, on their side, and in this way a large-capacity battery can be assembled in a low cabinet or on a multi-tier rack. The model range covers items from the A612/100 block to the A602/3300 cell.
How to choose
First decide what to build the battery from: individual 2 V cells or 6 / 12 V blocks. Cells give a larger capacity and a longer life, 20 years against 15, so they are taken for substations and large UPS units, and blocks for compact telecom cabinets. For an off-grid solar plant with daily cycling the A600 SOLAR is more appropriate, which holds 2400 cycles at 60 % DoD and has 285–3821 Ah (C100), and for smaller systems 12 V SOLAR blocks of 27–230 Ah (C100). For small UPS units the A400 blocks of 6 / 12 V and 20–180 Ah (C10) or the A500 of 12 V and 25–200 Ah (C20) are suitable.

FAQ
What is the service life of A600 gel OPzV cells?
By design 20 years for 2 V cells and 15 years for blocks at a temperature of 20 °C. In a hot battery room without air conditioning the real life will be shorter.
Can A600 cells be installed horizontally?
Yes, the cells and blocks of the series allow horizontal installation. This is convenient when the room height is limited and the battery has to be placed in several tiers.
Which standards does the A600 series comply with?
The 2 V cells are made to DIN 40742, the blocks to DIN 40744, and the characteristics comply with IEC 60896-21/22 for stationary VRLA batteries.
How does the A600 differ from the A600 SOLAR?
The A600 works in standby float mode, while the A600 SOLAR is designed for daily cycling in solar systems and holds 2400 cycles at 60 % DoD.
