Leoch PLH150FT(A) Frequently Asked Questions

Leoch PLH150FT(A) batteries are specifically engineered for data center environments with several key advantages: 1) The pure lead technology provides exceptional performance and longevity in elevated temperature environments common in data centers, 2) The front terminal design optimizes rack space utilization and simplifies maintenance in densely packed server rooms, 3) The low internal resistance ensures minimal voltage drop during high-rate discharge events typical during power outages, and 4) The extended service life of 15+ years reduces total cost of ownership and maintenance frequency in these critical facilities. For a detailed assessment of how PLH150FT(A) batteries can benefit your specific data center application, contact CPBS technical experts at 630-984-9718.

The pure lead technology in Leoch PLH150FT(A) batteries extends service life through several mechanisms: 1) The 99.99% pure lead plates are significantly more resistant to grid corrosion, the primary failure mechanism in VRLA batteries, 2) The absence of alloying elements eliminates the formation of harmful compounds that can accelerate aging, 3) The higher purity lead provides superior conductivity, reducing internal heat generation during charge and discharge cycles, and 4) The specialized plate design maintains structural integrity over extended periods. These factors combine to deliver a 15+ year design life, approximately 3 times longer than standard VRLA batteries. For specific lifespan projections based on your application and environment, contact CPBS at 630-984-9718.

For critical applications using Leoch PLH150FT(A) batteries, we recommend implementing comprehensive battery monitoring systems that track voltage, internal resistance, temperature, and string current. Systems like the Alber BDS-256XL, Eagle Eye PowerSight, or Canara Monitoring Solutions provide real-time data and predictive analytics to identify potential issues before they affect system performance. These monitoring systems can be integrated with building management systems (BMS) or network management systems (NMS) for centralized oversight. For assistance selecting and implementing the optimal monitoring solution for your PLH150FT(A) battery installation, contact CPBS at 630-984-9718.

Leoch PLH150FT(A) batteries are engineered to deliver reliable performance in elevated temperature environments. While the optimal operating temperature is 77°F (25°C), these batteries incorporate specialized thermal management features that help mitigate the accelerated aging typically associated with high temperatures. The pure lead technology provides superior resistance to grid corrosion at elevated temperatures, while the advanced separator system improves heat dissipation. At a constant operating temperature of 86°F (30°C), the PLH150FT(A) can maintain approximately 12+ years of service life, compared to 7-8 years for standard VRLA batteries. For specific guidance on high-temperature applications and cooling strategies, contact CPBS technical experts at 630-984-9718.

The optimal string configuration for Leoch PLH150FT(A) batteries depends on your specific voltage and capacity requirements. For 48V systems (common in telecom applications), a string of four PLH150FT(A) batteries in series is recommended. For higher capacity requirements, multiple strings can be connected in parallel. However, we recommend limiting parallel strings to a maximum of four to minimize imbalances between strings. When designing multi-string configurations, it’s essential to implement string isolation diodes or circuit breakers to prevent circulating currents and allow for individual string maintenance. For assistance designing the optimal configuration for your specific application, contact CPBS battery system design experts at 630-984-9718.
