Exide TBS OPZS Battery Overview

Rugged Tubular Standby Power for Critical Infrastructure

Exide TBS OPZS Battery combines flooded lead-acid technology with Exide Torr Tubular positive plates for demanding stationary power applications.

The battery architecture is designed around operational factors such as load duration, DC-bus requirements, discharge frequency, discharge depth, ambient conditions and charging characteristics.

Positive tubular plates are formed using high-pressure casting at 100 Bar in HADI equipment to create a rugged positive-plate structure.

Lead-antimony alloy spines are used within the tubular positive plate and contribute to controlled water consumption and reduced topping requirements.

Non-woven gauntlets retain positive active material, while microporous separators provide separation within the electrochemical cell.

Transparent SAN containers enable visual inspection of internal battery condition during routine checks.

Specific gravity, individual-cell voltage and temperature can be measured to help identify changes in battery condition before an emergency discharge event.

The TBS range is suited to both stationary float duty and repeated charge-discharge operation, with rapid charging capability for compatible battery systems.

Exide TBS OPZS Battery Features

High-Pressure Tubular Plates with Serviceable Cell Construction

The TBS architecture combines rugged positive plates, controlled electrolyte management, accessible terminals and visual condition monitoring.

100-Bar Tubular Plate Casting

Positive tubular plates are cast at high pressure in HADI equipment to create a rugged plate structure for stationary battery duty.

Lead-Antimony Alloy Spines

Lead-antimony spines form the internal positive-plate structure and contribute to low water consumption.

Non-Woven Gauntlet System

Non-woven gauntlets surround the positive active material to retain it within the tubular plate structure.

Microporous Separators

Microporous separator construction is used for temperature stability and separation of the battery plates.

Moulded Bolt-On Terminals

Plastic-encapsulated moulded Bolt-On terminals provide the battery’s external electrical connection architecture.

Transparent SAN & Ceramic Venting

Transparent SAN cells enable visual checks, while ceramic vent plugs help manage fumes and electrolyte loss.
