The PowerSafe™ VM range offers the ideal solution for large capacity, valve regulated lead acid battery requirements. PowerSafe VM’s modular design concept, with its integral racking system, provides a cost effective compact battery solution combined with a quick, simple on site installation process. PowerSafe VM’s extra thick positive grids provide excellent performance and service life across an extensive range of applications including, telecommunications, power generation/distribution sites, both low and high rate UPS and emergency lighting.

PowerSafe VM’s utilise the proven AGM gas recombination technology, removing the need for the addition of water to any cell throughout its operational life, which provides for battery solutions not requiring a separate battery room and only minimal maintenance.

Notes:

1)The depth shown in the table is for the module only .Add 86mm to obtain the overall depth including the front panel.

2)To calculate the total height of a battery stack multiply the module height by the number of modules in the stack add 100mm for the base support except for the VM-1500,1700,2000,3000,4000,4500 and 5000 modules where 120mm must be added.

3)The typical weight of the module excludes the connectors,terminal plates, front  panels and base support.

4)PowerSafe VM batteries are designed for horizontal installation only.

5)The excellent flexibility afforded by the modular construction design provides for further combinations of capacity,voltage or footprint in addition to those illustrated in the above tabulation,eg 2VM-3200, 2VM-4800, 4VM-1000,4VM-1700 etc.
