The pocket plate design, combined with the Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) chemistry and valve regulated technology, places the EnerSys PowerSafe VGM Ni-Cd Batteries in the lead with low maintenance batteries. The Ni-Cd chemistry provides exceptionally long life at extreme temperatures while the inherent extremely low maintenance feature is enhanced by the valve regulated design, making the Ni-Cd series of batteries an ideal choice for mixed load applications.
The robust design provides an excellent resistance against electrical and mechanical stress, low risk of terminal degradation and a proven 20 plus year life. This combination along with proven use in service make the EnerSys PowerSafe VGM Ni-Cd Batteries the right choice for industrial applications, proven reliability and the highest safety integrity. The PowerSafe VGM battery series covers discharges of 30 to 120 minutes.
