**SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE RECHARGEABLE VALVE REGULATED LEAD-ACID BATTERY Model No. UP-VW1245P1** 

## **1. Scope** 

**These specifications pertain to Panasonic Storage Battery (Shenyang) Co.,Ltd.`s (PSBS`S) Rechargeable Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Battery, type UP-VW1245P1, hereafter referred to as the** “ **battery** ” **. This document only describes the performance of the battery. The price, delivery date and other matters should be dealt with in other mutual agreements.** 

## **2. Requirements** 

**Voltage, capacity, mass and dimensions for this model are shown in Table1.** 

## **Table 1 requirements** 

|**Table 1 requirements**||
|---|---|
|**Model **|**UP-VW1245P1**|
|**Nominal Voltage**<br>**Rated Capacity**<br>**Mass(approx.)**<br>**Dimensions**|**12V**<br>**45W/10 min rate/cell**<br>**2.55 Kg**<br>**shown inthe attached drawing**|



## **3. Structure** 

**The battery consists mainly of positive plates, negative plates, separators, electrolyte, valves, a container and a cover. The electrolyte is absorbed in both positive/negative plates and separators. Here a container and a cover meet the requirements of UL1778(UL94V-0).** 

## **4. Characteristics** 

**The following characteristics are for the batteries, which are manufactured within 6 months, independently.** 

## **4.1 Capacity** 

**If the battery is discharged at 2.25A to the end voltage of 10.5V per battery after a full charge, followed by standing of one hour at an ambient temperature of 25** ± **2** ℃ **, the discharge duration time should exceed 170 minutes within the first 3 times of the charge and discharge cycles.** 

**See Table 4 for the characteristic data when the battery is used under the condition of constant wattage load.** 

**Note: Values shown in the table are reference data.** 

## **4.2 Shelf life characteristics** 

**The duration time should be more than 80 minutes when the battery, which has been stored at an ambient temperature of 40** ± **2** ℃ **for 4 months, is then stored at an ambient temperature of 25** ± **2** ℃ **for 24 hours and is then discharged at 2.25A to the end voltage of 10.5V per battery.** 

## **4.3 Trickle life** 

**If the battery is fully charged with a constant voltage charger with the controlled voltage of 13.7** ± **0.10V at an ambient temperature of 25** ± **2** ℃ **, and every 3 months the battery is discharged at a constant current of 2.25A to 10.5V at an ambient temperature of 25** ± **2** ℃ **, the battery shall have a trickle life of over 2 years with a discharge duration of over 1.5 hours.** 

**Note: the expected life of the battery shall decrease by one-half with each rise in temperature of 10** ℃ **. In particular, the life of the battery will shorten remarkably at about 40** ℃ **. Therefore careful consideration must be taken not to use the battery at high temperature. Also, as mentioned in 4.3 above, the life of battery will vary depending on the charge/discharge**

**conditions. For example, a non-flat current may shorten the life of the battery. Thus if special charge and/or discharge methods not described in this specification will be used, please confirm the battery characteristics with the actual application equipment before designing the charger.** 

**As the period of use of VRLA battery becomes longer, the run time of the battery gradually becomes shortened. While the battery reaches the end of life with the shortened run time, such phenomena as gradual decrease of electrolyte and corrosion of the positive grid occur inside of the battery. If the battery of this condition continues to be used, it may suffer from thermal runaway (a vicious circle of increasing charge current and rising temperature) and electrolyte leakage as its capacity reaches 0. We strongly recommend taking proper preventive measures such as replacing batteries before any of these phenomena are found. In addition, if the case is made of metal, please be sure that the battery is insulated against its metal case with acid-and heat-resistant insulating material so that the battery can not touch the metal case directly. If the battery continues to be used without proper replacement, or if it is not insulated properly, it may generate fire. In case you can not replace batteries for some serious reason, please take some other preventive actions such as stopping charging. Please see ‘Recommended timing for battery replacement for backup applications’ for more detailed information.** 

## **4.4 Vibration Resistance Characteristics** 

**Vibration resistance characteristics are tested such that a fully charged battery, being in a right side up position, is subjected to vibrations under the conditions given below. The battery is then checked visually for damage such as deformation or leakage of electrolyte, and checked electronically for existence of a short circuit or the terminal voltage being lower than the nominal voltage.** 

|**the nominal voltage.**||
|---|---|
|**(1) Direction of vibration**|**Vertical**|
|**(2) Peak to peak Amplitude**|**4 mm**|
|**(3) Vibration Frequency**|**16.7Hz**|
|**(4) Duration of Vibration**|**Continuously for 1 hour**|
|**(5) Ambient temperature**|**25**±**2**℃|



**Note: The battery being tested must be firmly fixed on the vibration board.**
