The Furukawa 20-S101A backup battery pack is a premium rechargeable battery utilizing Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) technology, specially designed for backup power storage systems that require high voltage and absolute reliability in industrial environments.
Furukawa 20-S101A Specifications
- Product Code: 20-S101A
- Battery Type: Ni-Cd (Nickel-Cadmium) - Rechargeable.
- Rated Voltage: 24V.
- Capacity: 0.45Ah (450mAh).
- Standard Discharge Rate: 5HR (5-Hour Rate).
Key Features
- Stable High Voltage: With a voltage of 24V, this battery pack consists of multiple individual cells connected in series, providing powerful energy for large-scale control panels.
- Durable Ni-Cd Technology: Unlike disposable batteries, Furukawa's Ni-Cd batteries can withstand high discharge currents and maintain stable performance even after multiple charge-discharge cycles.
- Long Design Life: Built to operate continuously for many years (typically 4-6 years depending on conditions), helping to minimize maintenance and periodic replacement costs.
- Good Thermal Resistance: Ni-Cd batteries operate well across a wide temperature range and are minimally affected by temperature fluctuations in hot industrial electrical cabinets.
- Safe Construction: The outer casing is typically a high-intensity heat-resistant shrink film, securing the battery cells and effectively resisting vibration.
Common Applications
- Fire Alarm System: The most critical application, used to supply power to fire alarm control panels, ensuring the system remains operational during grid power failures.
- Emergency Lighting Systems: Provides energy for Exit signs or emergency lights in buildings and factories.
- Telecommunications Equipment: Maintains operating power for transceiver stations or small transmission devices.
- Industrial Control Cabinets: Powers time relays, counters, or logic control circuits requiring 24V backup voltage.
Usage Notes
- Memory Effect: Ni-Cd batteries are prone to degradation if continuously trickle-charged without being fully discharged. However, in modern fire alarm panels, charging systems are typically optimized to mitigate this issue.
- Check Charging Voltage: Ensure the charger in your equipment is compatible with the 24V specification to prevent overcharging, which can cause swelling or chemical leakage.
- Environmental Considerations: Ni-Cd batteries contain Cadmium (a toxic heavy metal). Therefore, when expired, do not dispose of them with household waste; they must be collected and processed according to electronic waste regulations.
- Connector: Carefully check the plug type included with the battery (usually 2-pin or 3-pin jack) to ensure a complete match with legacy equipment.
Furukawa 20-S101A is a precise and safe power storage solution, specifically for security and fire protection systems, providing operators with absolute peace of mind regarding system operational continuity during critical emergencies.
