EnerSys PowerSafe SBS 40

The EnerSys PowerSafe SBS 40 battery sets the industry standard for reliable, long-lasting power in critical backup applications. As a leading model in the renowned PowerSafe® SBS series, this valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery is engineered with EnerSys’s proprietary Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology. This advanced construction delivers superior performance, a longer service life, and higher energy density compared to conventional VRLA batteries. Designed for ultimate dependability, the PowerSafe SBS 40 provides robust power for telecommunications, switchgear, utility, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, ensuring your operations remain online without interruption.

Why the EnerSys PowerSafe SBS 40 Excels in Demanding Environments

In an industry where uptime is non-negotiable, the EnerSys PowerSafe SBS 40 stands out due to its resilience and efficiency. The unique TPPL manufacturing process results in plates that are significantly thinner than those in traditional lead-calcium or lead-antimony batteries. This design maximizes the surface area for electrochemical reactions, leading to higher power output and incredibly fast recharge times.

Furthermore, its pure lead composition minimizes grid corrosion, which is a primary failure mode in standard batteries. This grants the PowerSafe SBS 40 a remarkable 15-year design life at 20°C (68°F). Its ability to operate effectively in a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F), reduces the need for costly cooling systems and makes it an ideal choice for challenging, real-world environments, including remote or outdoor cabinet installations.

Unmatched Performance, Quality, and Reliability

The EnerSys PowerSafe SBS 40 is not just a battery; it is a long-term power solution designed for minimal maintenance and maximum reliability. Its sealed, valve-regulated design means it is virtually maintenance-free, with no requirement for water topping-up throughout its lifespan. The battery’s construction features a robust steel can (module) enclosure, providing exceptional protection against shock and vibration while enhancing thermal management. This allows for flexible installation—vertically or horizontally—making it suitable for space-constrained locations. The high-cranking power and low internal resistance ensure that this battery can deliver rapid, high-rate discharges when your critical systems need it most.
