| Benefits |
TSunica.plus presents advantages beyond
conventional limits.
The construction of the Sunica.plus cell is based upon the
Saft pocket plate technology but with special features to
enhance its use in the specialized photovoltaic application.
Sunica.plus is optimized to give the best combination of
performances:
Operation in extreme
temperatures: -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to 122°F)
---but can tolerate extremes
of temperatures of -50°C to +70°C (-58°F
--- to +158°F)
Long cycle life
Charge efficiency:
performs at any charge of charge
Cycling: achieves
8 000 cycles at 15% depth of discharge
Low maintenance:
more than 4 years without topping-up
Specifically rated
for discharge times from hours to days
Long cycle life
Capacity range of 45 Ah to 1110 Ah. |

| Configuration |
| The Saft block battery range is composed of modular pocket
plate cells in shock-resistant polypropylene containers
welded together into blocks by heat sealing - up to 10 cells
blocks. An automated integral water filling system is provided
as an option. |
| |
| Pocket
plate technology |
| The positive and negative electrodes consist of perforated
steel pockets that are interlaced and pressed into a base
to form a very strong plate. |
