The German made Century GB Series is suitable for high energy applications and belongs to the best EUROBAT classification for maintenance free lead-acid batteries. Complying with the DIN 40742 Standard, each 2 Volt battery cell utilises tubular positive plates and gelled electrolyte (OPzV) construction, making it a robust alternative to standard VRLA batteries for demanding, high-cycle environments.
The Century GB Range is engineered to work seamlessly within a complete DC power system, and complements our VRLA battery ranges for applications needing a 2 Volt cell configuration.
Century GB 2 Volt battery cells are widely deployed across telecommunications, utilities and rail infrastructure.
Century GB batteries are suitable for all stationary and cyclic applications including:
The batteries are equipped with a safe low pressure venting system which releases excess gas and automatically reseals should there be a build-up of pressure within the battery. Note: battery should be charged in an appropriately vented enclosure.
Due to the perfectly sealed construction and the recombination of gases within the cell, the battery is almost maintenance free and there is no need to top up with water.
With a service life of 20 years in stand-by operation at 20°C, the GB Series is reliable for long duration applications.
The Century GB series has unique construction and sealing technique ensuring no electrolyte leakage from case or terminals.
The Century GB Series is installed in the vertical orientation with no loss of performance or concern of electrolyte leakage. (Horizontal orientation on request).
The standard Century GB battery containers and lids are made to UL94-HB but optional flame retardant plastic materials (UL94-V0) are available.
The extremely low self-discharge rate allows the battery to be stored for extended periods up to one year at normal ambient temperatures.
All Century lead acid batteries can be recycled through the world class Century Yuasa Batteries recycling program. Our network of more than 1,100 Battery Recycling Centres makes it easy for businesses and individuals to recycle their old batteries free of charge and help us play our part in protecting our precious environment.
