Information

Each plastic Monobloc consists of Single Cell elements,
internally connected to provide a 4 or 6 volt unit.
Monoblocs or Single Cells can be connected in series
or parallel to achieve the required voltage or capacity.
Monoblocs and Single Cells are supplied with spade
terminals making electrical connections quick and easy.
Additionally, EnerSys
®
products offer the highest vent
pressure in the market. As a result, our batteries are
more resistant to venting and dryout from continuous
overcharge in standby applications.
8. Fastest recharge - EnerSys
®
pure lead chemistry
allows our batteries and cells to offer the highest
recharge efficiency of any sealed-lead battery on
the market. With pure lead, you can achieve a 95%
state of recharge in less than one hour - without loss
of capacity or electrolyte using conventional
constant-voltage charging techniques.
Flexible charging options are possible with CYCLON
®
battery Single Cells and Monoblocs, as no current limit is
required when using a constant voltage charger.
9. Orientation/placement/transport - Due to the products'
mechanical design, CYCLON
®
batteries can be mounted
and operated in any position, an attractive feature for less
accessible areas.
CYCLON
®
battery Single Cells offer UL 94V-0 flame-
retardant packaging, thus allowing the mounting of
systems in sensitive areas and human environments. Plus,
the unique and flexible 2-volt CYCLON
®
battery Single
Cell allows you to design your system using an almost
infinite number of packaging/design configurations.
CYCLON
®
single cells and monoblocs are classified
as “non spillable batteries” and are excepted from
comprehensive hazardous packaging requirements.
When shipped from the point of manufacture the product
complies with the relevant requirements of IATA and 49
CFR 173.159(d), specifically CYCLON
®
product has been
tested and found to comply with IATA Packing instruction
806 and Special Provision A67. As such CYCLON
®
product does not have an assigned UN number and is not
required to be shipped under a proper shipping name.

CYCLON
®
battery Single Cells and Monoblocs have been
tested and determined to be in compliance with the
vibration and pressure differential tests contained in 49
CFR
§
173.159(d).
Because CYCLON
®
battery Single Cells and Monoblocs
are classified as “Nonspillable” and meet the conditions
above, [from
§
173.159(d)] they do not have an assigned
UN number nor do they require additional DOT hazard
labeling.
The regulation change effective September 1995, was to
clarify and distinguish to shippers and transporters, all
batteries that have been tested and determined to be in
compliance with the DOT Hazardous Material Regulations,
the International Civil Aeronautics Organisation (ICAO), and
the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Packaging
Instruction 806 and Special Provision A67, and therefore
excepted from all other requirements of these regulations
and classified as a “nonspillable battery”.
10. Shelf life - Pure lead batteries have an extremely low
self-discharge rate, thus providing extended storage
capability while maintaining high state-of-charge levels for
dependable operation.
CYCLON
®
battery Single Cells and Monoblocs have a shelf
life more than two times that of conventional lead batteries.
To assure maximum reliability, EnerSys recommends that
all stored cells/batteries be recharged (boost charged) once
every 24 months or when the open circuit voltage drops
to 2.00 volts per cell, whichever occurs earlier. Inventory
should be checked more frequently if storage temperature
regularly exceeds 25°C.
When shipping CYCLON
®
product, all cells must be
protected against short circuit and the outer packaging
should be plainly and durably marked as “Non Spillable
or Non Spillable Battery”. This applies when product is
repackaged at other locations. It is recommended that
short circuit protection is continued to be applied when
storing and handling CYCLON
®
product.
