Enersys's GU/GT Flooded Batteries

EnerSys has a new post for its GU/GT line of flooded batteries, used for long duration float applications such as central office and mobile switching office standby power.

The post (shown on page 1) is cross-drilled to allow for easy installation of battery cells in any direction. It has been redesigned from oblong to square to increase the contact surface area, allowing the post to be drilled in both directions with the plates either parallel to the rack support rails to optimize battery system footprint or perpendicular to the rails for easier element inspection.

The design enables cell maintenance without taking the entire battery system offline, due to the ability to use four intercell connectors regardless of cell orientation with the new GU/GT post. Two connectors can be left in operation while the other two connectors are being cleaned.

The GU battery starts at $1,602.
