I/ The principle of the

gas-recombination battery
In a gas-recombination battery, the quantity of active
materials in the plates and the alloys used in the
manufacture of the grids which support the active
materials, are such that oxygen is first released from the
positive plate.
The oxygen diffuses across the separator to the negative

plate
The oxygen reacts chemically with the spongy lead of the
negative plate to form lead oxide.
Pb + 1/2O2 PbO
The internal design of the battery ensures that this

oxygen diffuses toward the negative plates where it
reacts chemically with the spongy lead of the negative
active material to form lead oxide.
The sulphuric acid reacts with the lead oxide to give lead
sulphate and water, and so part of the spongy lead is
chemically discharged to the lead suplhate state and the
water consumed at the positive plate is regenerated.
The sulphuric acid contained in the electrolyte is

composed then reacts with this lead oxide to form lead
sulphate and water.
PbO + H2SO4 PbSO4 + H2O

The spongy lead which was chemically discharged at the
negative plate is re-charged chemically.
The lead sulphate thus formed is transformed electrochemically into lead to return sulphuric acid.
PbSO4 + 2H+ + 2e- Pb + H2SO4
This state of equilibrium will remain for as long as the

battery remains fully charged.
These reactions occur within each cell, and an

equilibrium is thus achieved.
Schematically, we then have the following reactions :

At the end of the charge or if overcharging, oxygen is
released at the positive plate in the form of a gas.
H2O 2H+ + 1/2O2 + 2e-
Electrolyte
Conventional cell
Supersafe
Oxygen and hydrogen

escape to
the atmosphere
Oxygen evolved
from positive plate
transfers to negative
and recombines
to form water.
Separator
- fiberglass separators manufactured from borosilicate,

giving them excellent resistance to high temperatures
and to sulphuric acid.The high level of porosity of these
separators is used to retain the quantity of electrolyte
necessary for cell operation, but without any free
electrolyte.
Construction :
These reactions can take place only by using :
- plates composed of special alloy with several
components which provide the plate grids with high
mechanical strength and a high level of hydrogen
overvoltage.
- a pressure relief valve which allows gas to be released

if necessary in the case of an accidental overcharge.
- an appropriate ratio between positive and negative

active materials.

II/ Charge
characteristics
The cells in the Supersafe TE product range must be
charged at a constant voltage
Under these conditions a full recharge will be completed in approximately 72 hours.
At an ambient temperature of 20C, the batteries should

be charged at 2.27-2.30 volts per cell.
Fast recharge :
Recharge time can be reduced by increasing the charge
voltage to 2.40 Volts per cell and it is possible , depending on the depth of discharge, to halve the recharge
time.
It is not necessary to limit the current as this will be

governed by the maximum output available from the
charger until the voltage limit is reached. Increased
maintenance is recommended as the battery approaches
end of useful life.
Under these conditions, however, the charge must be

monitored and must be terminated when the charge
current remains reasonably steady for 3 hours after the
voltage limit has been reached.At the beginning of charge the current must be limited to 0.10C10 : 0.125C3(A).
The charging voltage of 2.27-2.30 volts should also be

used for float charging.
To achieve nominal performance characteristics, it is
recommended to adjust this value to suit the ambient
temperature, as indicated in the following table :
Temperature
Float charge voltage
0C
10C
20C
25C
30C
35C
2.36 - 2.39 V
2.31 - 2.34V
2.27 - 2.30 V
2.25 - 2.28 V
2.23 - 2.26 V
2.21 - 2.24 V
(reference T)
Ripple current :
The ripple content of the charging current affects the
life of the battery.
Transient and other ripple type voltage excursions can
be accommodated provided that, with the battery disconnected , the system peak to peak voltage including
regulation limits falls within -+ 2.5 % of the recommended float voltage of the battery.
It is recommended to limit the continuous ripple current to 0.05C10 (in amperes) as recommended value
(never exceed 0.1C10).

IV/ Battery
calculations
a. Floating applications
A battery application is characterised by :
Discharge current :
During the surge : 154300 W/383 V = 403 amps
And then :25700 W/383 V = 67 amps
- a voltage which must be held within certain limits,

- a power level which must be delivered
- a set capacity to maintain the load in terms of time.
Determining the cell required for the current

required
Current flow during surge :
( 403 A x 10 mins)/60 mins= 67 Ah
Current flow for 4 hours :
67 A x 4 h = 268 Ah
Total capacity drawn : 67 Ah + 268 Ah = 335 Ah.
Equivalent discharge time at 67 amps to supply 335 Ah :
335/67 = 5 hours
From the table of performance characteristics, expressed
in terms of the discharge current in amps for 1.80 V end
voltage, the cell to give a current of 67 amps for 5 hours
is the 2TE 450.
Conclusion : In this example; it is the total number of Ah
required which determines the battery to be used, i.e.
213 cells of type 2 TE 450.
By the use of these three parameters, calculations can be

effected as follows :
- A situation requires : a maximum voltage of 484 volts
a minimum voltage of 383 volts
- The ambient temperature is 20 C
- The float voltage is to be 2.27 volts per cell.
Preliminary calculation :
The maximum number of cells : 484 V / 2.27 V = 213 cells
The minimum voltage per cell at the end of discharge :
383 V / 213 = 1.80 volts.
Case 1 : discharge with a surge at the start of discharge
- The surge power is to be 154.3 kW for 10 minutes,
followed by 25.7 kW for 4 hours.
Case 2 : discharge with a surge at the end of discharge

(here again, it is the surge which dictates the battery to

c) Effect of temperature on capacity
- During the surge : 138000 W/383 V=360 amps

- Before the surge : 25700 W/383 V= 67 amps
The following table gives the correction factor according

to temperature, where the reference temperature is
20C .
Capacity drawn in 1 hour : 67 A x 1 h = 67 Ah

Capacity drawn during surge (20 mins) (360 amps x 20
mins)/60 mins=120 Ah
Total capacity drawn : 187 Ah
Discharge
time
Equivalent discharge time at 360 amps to supply 187 Ah

(187/360)x 60 min=31 min
From the table of performance characteristics, expressed
in terms of the discharge current in amps for 1.80 V end
voltage, the cell to give a current of 360 amps for 31
minutes is the 2 TE 450.
The battery to be used will consist of 213 cells of type
2 TE 450.
b) Accidental deep discharge
This may involve discharge of the battery into indicator
lamps, a lower load on the battery than that initially
planned, a failure of the charging system, a discharged
battery not recharged immediately, etc
On a full battery discharge :
All of the sulphuric acid has been consumed, and the
electrolyte is now entirely water.
Sulphation of the plates is at a maximum, thus increasing
greatly the internal resistance of the accumulator.
The aqueous solution in which the battery now finds
itself can give rise to the development of metal flakes on
the separator during recharging, and this may cause the
cell to short-circuit internally.
Important note :
This type of deep discharge will still result in the
premature deterioration of the battery, and a significant
effect on its life expectancy.

Warning :
In srie :
- The cells of the Supersafe TE Series batteries are

already charged when delivered, and are fitted with a
protective cap on each terminal .They should be
unpacked with care.
The number of cells in series will determine the total

float of voltage :
U
- Avoid short-circuiting terminals of opposite polarity,

because these units are capable of discharging at a very
high current especially if the lid or the container is
damaged.

Unpacking the battery
TE cells of the same Ah rating may be connected in

parallel to give higher current capability. This connection
in parallel will be preferably carried out through an
equipotential wiring for an equal current distribution in
each string.
- Each shipment of Supersafe TE Series batteries is

accompagnied by a packing list.
- The packing list should be checked, and the Sales
Department Telecoms/IT should be told immediately of
any missing items.
There is no technical reason for limiting the number of

strings but for practical installation reasons, it is
recommended not to exceed 4 strings in parallel
especially if the battery is used in high discharge rates
(Standby time lower than 1 hour).

VI/ Battery storage

Storage conditions :
Determining the state of charge of the battery
The battery should be stored away from any moisture or

source of heat.
Storage times :
The state of charge of the battery can be determined by

measuring the off-load voltage after the battery has
been allowed to rest for 24 hours.
The self-discharge of Supersafe TE Series batteries as a

function of temperature is as follows :
3 % per month at 20C
6 % per month at 30 C
10 % per month at 40 C
In order to ensure that the battery can be charged easily after a long period of storage, it is recommended that
batteries should not be stored for more than the following periods without recharging :

Voltage per cell at differents temperatures
Recharging stored batteries

The batteries should be recharged at the float charge
voltage to suit the temperature 2.27 2.30 volts at
20 C per cell for example) for a minimum period of
96 hours.
6 months at 20 C
4 months at 30 C
2 months at 40 C
The battery will be charged when the charging current

has remained constant for a period of 3 hours.
Failure to comply with these recommendations may

compromise the life expectancy of the battery.
VI/ Commissioning
- Ensure that batteries are kept at all times in clean and
dry conditions.
- Before commissioning, the batteries must be charged

at a constant regulated voltage to match the prevalling
temperature with a current limit of 0.3 C20 and for a
minimum period of 48 hours.
VII/Maintenance
- Check the tightening of connections.
- Every month, it is recommended that the total voltage
at the battery terminals be measured. It should be
Nx2.27-2.30 at a temperature of 20 C, where N is the
number of cells in the battery.
- Once each year, it is recommended that the voltage of
each cell in the battery should be read off.
- A difference of plus or minus 2.0% between these
individual voltages and the average voltage may be
observed. This is due to the gas- recombination
process.
- A check on capacity (independent operation on load)
can be performed once or twice per year.
Note : it is recommended that a battery log be

maintained, and that records should be kept of the total
voltage measurements, any mains failures, major battery
discharges (current and time) etc.
The main factors causing reduction in the life
expectancy of Supersafe TE Series cells :
- deep discharges
- poor regulation on the float voltage
- cycling or micro-cycling
- poor quality ( smoothing) of the charging current
- high ambient temperature.
Safety :
When carrying out any work on the battery, the
applicable safety standards should be followed.
