INDUSTRIES LIMITED
• APPLICATION :
- UNIT BATTERY
- SUBSTATION BATTERY
- PLCC
- 24/26v C & I BATTERY
- UPS BATTERY
- BATTERY FOR VHF SETS
INDUSTRIES LIMITED
BATTERY IS CONSIDERED TO BE
THE "HEART" OF THE POWER PLANT
• UNIT BATTERY
- The emergency oil pumps will not operate which could lead
to seizure of the rotor bearings
• SUBSTATION
- Switchgear and relays will not operate causing
extensive damage to transformers and power lines.
• PLCC
- Extremely difficult to resynchronise the unit with
grid.
- Major setback in the process of reviving the grid in
the event of a regional grid failure.
• RELIABILITY
- PREDICTABILITY

TYPES OF PLATES
A. Positive
l Plante’ Type : Cast out of 99.99% pure Lead
Has a fine lamaellar structure
l Flat Pasted Type : Grid holds the active material and
carries the current
l Tubular Type : Red lead (Pb3O4) and Grey oxide (PbO)
mixture is filled in tubes and spine of lead-
alloy runs through the centre of entire tube
length. Tube retails the active material
firmly and spine carries the current

TECHNICAL COMPARISON
DISCHARGE PEREORMANCE

VRLA Best
Plante Much superior to HDP Tubular but slightly
inferior to VRLA
Ni-Cd Superior to Plante for very short duration (3 sec

TECHNICAL COMPARISON
RECHARGE
Tubular Capable of quick recharge by boost
charging upto 2.7vpc and 0.14 C10 Amps recharge

VRLA Quick recharge limited to fast charging upto
2.4vpc and Amps limit current
Plante Very fast recharge by boost charging upto
2.7vpc and 0.25 C10 Amps recharge current
Ni-Cd Capable of very fast recharge, however
charge retention is relatively poor
TECHNICAL COMPARISON
AGEING
Tubular Degrades gradually during service life & falls to about
80% in 8-10 years. 25% capacity has to be increased
to compensate for ageing
VRLA Degrades gradually during service life & falls to about
80% in 10-15 years. 25% capacity has to be increased
to compensate for ageing
