Leoch PLH40FT(A) Frequently Asked Questions

Leoch PLH40FT(A) batteries utilize 99.99% pure lead technology instead of the lead-calcium or lead-antimony alloys found in standard VRLA batteries. This pure lead construction provides several significant advantages: 1) Extended service life of 15+ years compared to 3-5 years for standard VRLA, 2) Superior performance in high-temperature environments, 3) Exceptional cycle life of up to 1200 cycles at 50% DOD, and 4) Wider operating temperature range from -40°F to 131°F. The front terminal design also simplifies installation and maintenance in rack-mounted applications. For a detailed comparison between PLH40FT(A) and standard VRLA batteries for your specific application, contact CPBS technical experts at 630-984-9718.

The front terminal design of the Leoch PLH40FT(A) provides several key benefits for rack-mounted installations: 1) All connections are accessible from the front of the rack, eliminating the need to remove batteries for maintenance, 2) Reduced installation time and complexity since technicians can access all terminals without reaching behind or between batteries, 3) Improved safety by minimizing the risk of accidental short circuits during maintenance, 4) More efficient use of rack space with optimized battery dimensions, and 5) Simplified visual inspection of connections without disassembly. For assistance designing an optimal rack configuration for your PLH40FT(A) batteries, contact CPBS at 630-984-9718.

Leoch PLH40FT(A) batteries are designed to deliver exceptional performance in elevated temperature environments. While the optimal operating temperature is 77°F (25°C), the pure lead technology provides superior resistance to grid corrosion at higher temperatures. At a constant operating temperature of 86°F (30°C), the PLH40FT(A) can maintain approximately 12+ years of service life, compared to 7-8 years for standard VRLA batteries. At 95°F (35°C), the expected service life is approximately 8-9 years. For specific guidance on high-temperature applications and cooling strategies to maximize battery life, contact CPBS technical experts at 630-984-9718.

For optimal performance and longevity, Leoch PLH40FT(A) batteries should be charged using temperature-compensated voltage settings. The recommended float voltage is 13.5-13.8V at 77°F (25°C), with a temperature compensation of -3mV/°C/cell. For cyclic applications, the recommended charging voltage is 14.4-14.7V at 77°F (25°C) with a maximum charging current of 12A (0.3C). The pure lead technology allows for faster recharge times compared to standard VRLA batteries, typically achieving 80% state of charge within 3-4 hours using the recommended parameters. For assistance configuring your charging system for PLH40FT(A) batteries, contact CPBS at 630-984-9718.

While lithium-ion batteries offer higher energy density and cycle life, Leoch PLH40FT(A) pure lead batteries provide several advantages for telecom applications: 1) Lower initial investment cost (typically 40-60% less expensive), 2) Proven safety record with no thermal runaway concerns, 3) Wider operating temperature range without requiring active thermal management, 4) Established recycling infrastructure with 99% recyclability, 5) No special shipping restrictions as “non-spillable” batteries, and 6) Compatibility with existing charging systems without requiring battery management systems. For a detailed cost-benefit analysis comparing PLH40FT(A) to lithium-ion options for your specific telecom application, contact CPBS at 630-984-9718.
