Description
ABB SAFT-187CON: Product Overview
The ABB SAFT-187CON is a high-capacity valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery from ABB’s SAFT industrial battery series, engineered for mission-critical power backup in industrial automation, telecommunications, and emergency systems. As a sealed, maintenance-free (MF) battery, it eliminates the need for定期加水或电解液检查,making it ideal for remote or hard-to-access installations.
The SAFT-187CON leverages SAFT’s proprietary AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, which immobilizes electrolyte in glass fiber mats to prevent leakage and enhance vibration resistance. This design ensures reliable performance in harsh environments (e.g., factories, power plants, telecom towers) where temperature fluctuations, humidity, or mechanical stress are common. The battery is optimized for deep-cycle applications (frequent discharge/recharge) and float charging (long-term standby), making it versatile for both backup and primary power roles.
