Bi-Directional Recombination Vent Plug
For Stationary Flooded/Vented Batteries

Significantly reduces/eliminates watering intervals


and increases safety in poorly-ventilated areas

Principle of Operation
Operation of lead acid batteries results in the electrolysis of water.
Electrolysis reduces the amount of water in the electrolyte, which in
turn requires the battery to be watered more frequently, increasing
maintenance requirements. Hydrogen and oxygen are also naturally
created as part of this process and these gases can accumulate
and become explosive.
The SBS recombination vent caps help to prevent the gases
generated through electrolysis from escaping. Inside the cap is a
catalyst (rare earth element) which reacts with hydrogen and oxygen
and converts the gases into water vapor. This is an exothermic
process and heat is generated during this recombination process.
As the battery stops gassing and the cap cools, water vapor
condenses on the walls of the plug and will flow back into the
battery, thus 98% of the hydrogen/oxygen gas mixture generated
during charging will be recombined and converted back to water.
Features
This process effectively eliminates the flow of gases from the •• Reduces the frequency of water refilling
battery into the atmosphere. (12–15 years topping-up interval)
•• Reduction of maintenance and service costs
RECOMBINATION VENT CAPS

SBS recombination vent caps significantly improve safety, •• Increases safety since explosive gases are not released
preventing (under normal conditions) the flow of gas into the from cell under normal operation
immediate surroundings and eliminating the risk of ignition, as well
•• Protects against flashback
as reducing the need for water refilling.
•• Lifetime of more than 20 years
The system is economical from both an installation and
maintenance perspective.

Bi-Directional Valve
In order to achieve the most effective gas recombination
plug, a special catalyst system using a bi-directional valve
is integrated to automatically regulate the pressure inside
the plug.
In order to maintain the safe operation of the system, a
flame arrestor is mounted over the valve in the plug in
the form of a ceramic flame screen. With this design the
vent plug gas emissions are minimal and safe for the
surrounding environment.
The design of the recombination plug increases the
safety of the battery in areas with limited ventilation while
maintaining the level of gas recombination at the highest
possible level.

deep discharge, even accidental reverse charge, and can be stored in any state of charge.
Pocket plate batteries are manufactured in 3 series (L, M, and H) based on their
performance capabilities. They are available in 1.2V single cells (KP-Series)and in
1.2V, 2.4V and 3.6V multi-cell blocks (KB-Series).
SBS’s pocket plate batteries are supplied with the electrolyte, intercell
connectors, related hardware and accessories required for normal
operation and maintenance.

HV Series Valve Regulated Pocket Plate NiCd Batteries
Ultra Low Maintenance Nickel Cadmium Cells (7–1680 Ah)

Valve regulated pocket plate batteries were designed to meet the needs of
applications requiring the traditional high reliability of nickel cadmium pocket
plate cells without the need to top-up with water. The VRPP battery works on
the oxygen recombination principle and therefore has a much reduced water
consumption. The level of recombination of these cells is 85–95%. Normal
vented type cells will have only a 30–35% recombination efficiency. When the
VRPP cells are properly float charged (between 1.40–1.42 V/cell) they will not
need to be topped off with water for nearly 20 years. If the levels do become low
during the life of the battery there are provisions to add water to the cells.
The VRPP batteries are available in 1.2V single cells or 2.4V, 3.6V or 4.8V multi-
cell blocks. Available in medium rate (HVM Series) and low rate (HVL Series), all
batteries are supplied with the electrolyte, intercell connectors, related hardware
and accessories required for normal operation and maintenance.

Features
•• Long float life: 25 years
•• High cycle life: 2000 cycles @ 20% DOD
1.2V Cell 2.4V Block •• Reliable and predictable performance
•• Operating temp.: -4° to 131° F (Storage: -22° to 113° F)
•• Low maintenance
Operating Notes •• Minimal gassing

The Uniform Fire Code (UFC) Article 64, Section 104.d and 104.e requires lead acid battery installations with more than
100 gallons of electrolyte be equipped with a “liquid-tight” spill-control barrier system. It also requires an approved method,
capable of neutralizing a spill from the largest lead acid battery.
In response to these new requirements, SBS offers a spill containment system solution. SBS’s system is quick and easy to
install with new battery racks.

Battery & Charger Enclosures
Custom-Built NEMA 1, 3R and 12 Enclosures

SBS designs and builds custom DC enclosures


for battery systems and/or chargers. A typical
cabinet integrates batteries, racking and
chargers into an indoor (NEMA 1 or 12) or
outdoor (NEMA 3R) rated enclosure. There
are many different options and accessories
available, making every system unique and
built to your site-specific needs.

Typical Industry Standards


•• NEMA Type 1, 3R, 12
•• UL Listed Type 1, 3R, 12
•• CSA Type 1, 3R, 12
•• IEC 60529

NEMA Type 1 – Enclosures are for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts
and to provide a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt).
This is a basic indoor cabinet that will include venting for batteries.

NEMA Type 3R – Enclosures are for indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to
hazardous parts; to provide a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects
(falling dirt); to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (rain,
sleet, snow); and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
This is a typical outdoor cabinet that will require rain hoods for the vents.

NEMA Type 12 – Enclosures are for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous
parts; to provide a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (falling
dirt and circulating dust, lint, fibers, and flyings); and to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the
equipment due to the ingress of water (dripping and light splashing).
This cabinet will require NEMA 12 vents and/or cooling fans.

Tips for Designing Enclosures
•• What equipment will be installed inside the enclosure? Only a charger? A battery/rack?
A battery/rack and charger? Will other equipment such as spill containment or a DC
disconnect switch be mounted inside the enclosure?

•• After the equipment is decided upon, the details of that equipment must be determined.
If the batteries are known, the next step is to determine the rack type and size, and, if
required, the spill containment size. If a charger is being installed, what is the cabinet
style/size? This is all necessary information for determining the minimum length, width
and height of the enclosure.

•• There may be multiple ways to configure the cabinet, so consider all possible options.
For instance, if a battery, rack and charger are required the system can be designed
using a 2-step rack with the charger mounted above, or with a 2-tier rack with the
charger mounted to the side of the rack. Depending on the equipment being installed,
one solution may be a more logical choice than the other.

•• A rack measuring 47.24" L x 23" D cannot be installed in a 48" L x 24" D enclosure. The
dimensions of the cabinets are the outside dimensions, so it is important to take into
account the thickness of the material and body stiffeners that are attached to the sides
and back of the cabinet for support, fans that take up internal length, etc.

Length and Depth (Width) Considerations:


•• For the length, if a fan is required, factor in 3" of extra space per side or 6" total.
Example: a 45" L rack will need an extra 3" per side or a minimum cabinet length of 51" L
(round up to 60" L).

CUSTOM BATTERY ENCLOSURES


If a fan is not required, 1" of space per side is acceptable, so a 48" L cabinet could work.
•• For the depth, factor in 1" of extra space for the front and back or 2" total.
Example: a 22" D rack will safely fit into a 24" D cabinet.
•• If a spill containment system is being installed, use the tray dimensions, rather than the
rack dimensions, and the same rules above apply.

Front View Left Side View Right Side View Top/Bottom View

Height Considerations:
Chargers need room to breathe and batteries need extra room above for maintenance
(watering and testing). To calculate the minimum height of the cabinet, use this general
information/formula:

Minimum Rack Space above 6" (for


height Battery Charger
Cabinet = (to top of + height + battery + height + space above
Height (12" ideal) charger)
rail)

Example: Rack height = 10" Battery height = 19" Charger = 25"


Minimum enclosure height = 10" + 19" + 12" + 25" + 6" = 72" (use 72" H cabinet minimum)
Note: if there is a situation where the above rules cause an issue, contact SBS for possible rack/cabinet customizations.

Cost Savings Example


SBS field studies show that using the SBS-2003 is five times faster 5 hr.
than using a standard glass hydrometer and thermometer.
4 hr.
If you spend 60 minutes testing specific gravities every month in
20 sites, this totals 60 minutes x 20 sites x 12 months per year = 3 hr.
14,400 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 240 labor hours per year. A time
Since we can reduce this time by 500%, 240 hours divided by 5 = 2 hr. savings of
over 500%
48 hours total time with the SBS-2003. 1 hr. with the
That’s a savings of 192 hours per year. Multiplied by $45.00 SBS-2003
per hour labor cost with benefits: 192 x $45.00 0 hr.
= $8,640.00 of savings per year. 5 Units 10 Units 15 Units 20 Units

EquaLink Battery Management System actively manages
batteries to increase reliability and extend life, whereas
other battery monitoring systems simply monitor batteries
as they deteriorate.

How It Works
EquaLink reads individual battery voltages and compares them
to the battery system‘s overall voltage. Each EquaLink module
controls the amount of float current passing through the battery
to regulate the voltage to the optimum value. This constant
monitoring and Balancing of the individual charging voltages
helps guarantee the availability of the battery system at
all times.
Due to its proprietary Balancing process, EquaLink surpasses
other battery monitoring systems, having the ability to monitor
and actively regulate battery voltage to within 0.001 volts of the
system’s average float charging voltage.
EquaLink’s Balancing prevents overcharging and undercharging, •• Battery 3’s voltage (top) is capped at the charge end voltage by
ensuring maximum capacity and service life. removing current to prevent overcharging and gassing
•• Battery 2 is supplied extra current until the optimal float charging
