OPzV batteries are valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries with tubular plates and gel electrolyte. They are available in various voltages, notably 2V and 12V formats.
- Cell Structure:
2V batteries are single cells, whereas 12V models typically consist of six 2V cells connected in series. - Design Purpose:
2V designs offer better thermal management and flexibility in system design; 12V units are more compact and easier to install. - Construction:
2V batteries usually have thicker plates and larger electrolyte reserves, contributing to longer life.
The structural differences influence performance, scalability, and installation options.
