GNB Absolyte GP 3-100G33 6V, 1600 AH

GNB
Absolyte GP
Industrial Sealed AGM Batteries

The Absolyte GP battery was developed by GNB, in conjunction with Sandia National Laboratories, as the first VRLA, large capacity, deep-cycle battery for photovoltaic applications. This design provides for extended partial state of charge operation and allows for deep discharge recovery. Their wide band of temperature operation, from -40°C (-40°F) to +50°C (122°F), retains more capacity in cold temperatures than traditional flooded batteries. Life expectancy in float conditions is 20 years @ 25°C (77°F) with proper charging. Life expectancy in cycling conditions is 1200 cycles to 80% DOD with proper charging. Sealed cells with absorbed glass mat (AGM) separators eliminate the need for periodic water additions as found in flooded cells. Periodic visual inspections, voltage readings, and connection retorquing is all that is required.

Protective steel tray housings offer maximum installation flexibility and the Absolyte GP is qualified to stack horizontally up to eight high for use in 1997 UBC/2001 CBC Seismic Zone IV (at or below grade). This provides for high capacity in a small footprint and frees up floor space for other equipment. Because they are sealed, they do not require a separate battery room.

They are IEC 896, BS 6290, UL Recognized, ISO 9001:2000, designed to meet Telcordia SR4228 and GR-63-CORE (NEBS).
