Across transmission, distribution and essential infrastructure networks, DC power systems underpin protection, control, communications and operational safety. These systems must perform predictably during fault conditions, outages and abnormal events, often after years of continuous float operation.

Elevated ambient temperatures, non-air-conditioned installations and extended service-life expectations are accelerating degradation in traditional long-life VRLA batteries. In response, asset owners are demanding technologies that deliver measurable lifecycle performance under real operating conditions.

Yuasa UXL GEN2 has been developed as an engineering-led evolution to meet these requirements.

Yuasa UXL GEN2 is engineered to maintain predictable electrical performance over extended float service, reducing the impact of thermal stress, corrosion and resistance growth.

By extending service life and aligning battery replacement with power system replacement cycles, GEN2 supports fewer interventions, reduced disruption and stronger lifecycle efficiency across critical DC assets.

For critical infrastructure operators, lifecycle cost is driven by reliability, replacement frequency and intervention risk — not upfront price alone. Through extended design life, reduced degradation and fewer replacement cycles, GEN2 delivers up to a 33% improvement in total cost of ownership compared to current UXL platforms.*

This enables infrastructure operators to plan with greater certainty, reduce lifecycle costs and improve asset utilisation over decades of service.

*Actual design life may vary (up or down) depending on the operating environment and maintenance regime.
