Tel.X Ni-Cd battery

Tel.X Ni-Cd battery
The compact maintenance-free solution for telecom networks
Tel.X, delivering high-energy performance
in a compact maintenance-free package
Tel.X: guaranteed
power continuity
for remote or hard
to access installations
The Tel.X Ni-Cd battery delivers the
optimum combination of high-energy
performance, reliability and long-life in
a new compact, modular maintenancefree design that ensures the lowest
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
Thanks to its outstanding energy
density of up to 100 Wh/l, Tel.X is the
perfect direct replacement for VRLA
batteries in telecom back-up
applications where limited space is
available. Tel.X reduces battery weight
by 30% in the same foot print.
The Tel.X battery has a Ni-Cd construction designed for more
than 20 years’ service life at + 25°C (+ 77°F). Like any other
battery, high temperature operation will reduce its life
expectancy. The life of the Tel.X is less impacted by high
temperature when compared to VRLA battery.
At +35°C (+95°F), the lifetime reduction for a Ni-Cd battery is 20%,
while it reaches 50% for a lead-acid battery.

Tel.X, perfectly adapted
for battery installations in tight spaces
Tel.X delivers exceptional
reliability against
unexpected outages for
telecom installations where
continuity and reliability
of power supplied is
critical. Tel.X is ideally
suited for applications
including remote cabinets
and central offices as well
as BTS (Base Transceiver
Station) and BSC
(Basic Station Controller).
Tel.X is especially suited
for remote and/or
decentralized locations
where travel time and
restricted access is difficult.
Reliable backup
performance guaranteed –
even in extreme
temperatures
Operating and
maintenance requirements
are reduced – even for
remote installations
Tel.X offers the ideal combination of
reliability, performance and long-life
over a wide range of operating
temperatures.
Tel.X’s reliable maintenance-free
design is perfectly adapted for difficult
to access installations.
• Utilizes robust steel nickel plated
internal construction based on unique
well-proven Ni-Cd electrochemistry
• Eliminates the corrosion, sudden
death and thermal runaway risks
associated with VRLA batteries
• Combines superior performance with
high charging efficiency
• Operates in temperatures from
- 20°C to + 50°C (- 4°F to + 122°F)
and tolerates - 50°C to + 70°C
(- 58°F to + 158°F) for short durations
• Exceptional reliability removes the
need for redundant systems
• Maintenance free design,
with a low pressure venting system,
reduces water consumption to
an absolute minimum
• No topping up is necessary (under
operation) – water addition is possible
under exceptional circumstances
• Periodic checks of charging
voltage are recommended,
but Tel.X requires no further attention
once installed
• Extended lifetime matches or
surpass the telecom equipment life
it supports

* Nominal capacity is obtained after prolonged float constant voltage charge (I-U) of 1.45 V/cell (at + 25°C / + 77°F) followed by a discharge (at the discharge rate corresponding
to 8 h autonomy) down to 1.1 V/cell
Power cable selection: The selection of power cables used within the installation of Saft Batteries is a function of:
1-Installation location; dry, damp or wet (as defined by the NEC code).
2-The maximum ambient operating temperature.
3-The maximum sustained current (amperage) applied during charge or discharge.
Saft’s standard Tel.X product power cables are a #6 AWG rated for installations in dry or damp locations. The maximum operating ambient temperature of the Tel.X product is
50 °C. Based on a 50 °C max ambient temperature, the maximum sustained discharge current is 86 amps and a maximum available current limit of 150 amps during constant
potential charging. When the application installation and operation exceeds the above parameters, then the design will require a careful review which may prescribe the need
to move to higher ampacity rated power cables.
