OPzV (Ortsfest PanZerplatte Verschlossen) lead-acid batteries are a type of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery designed for stationary energy storage applications. Unlike flooded lead-acid batteries, OPzV batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, and use a gel electrolyte, making them ideal for renewable energy storage, telecom backup, and UPS systems.
Key Features:
- Gel Electrolyte: Prevents acid stratification and reduces water loss.
- Deep Cycle Capability: Withstands frequent charge-discharge cycles.
- Low Self-Discharge: Retains charge for longer periods when idle.
- Maintenance-Free Design: No need for regular water topping-up.
Common Applications:
- Solar energy storage
- Telecom backup power
- Industrial UPS systems
- Off-grid power solutions
Understanding these features helps in proper maintenance and maximizing battery lifespan.
