Everything You Need To Know About Tubular Batteries

What are tubular batteries?
Tubular batteries are also known as deep discharge batteries is a lead-acid battery. They provide a small amount of current, for example, 5 Amperes, for a long period of time. The electrodes of these batteries are thicker than the regular ones and hence cannot release a large amount of current. Moreover, they cannot be used in domains where a large amount of current is required in a relatively short period of time. Although they don’t provide high current, they last for a longer duration as compared to regular flat plate batteries.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TUBULAR BATTERIES?

Nantech Power Systems provide a multitude of tubular batteries:

As there are several options, we have provided a brief yet comprehensive comparison of different tubular batteries that you can choose from.

Features	Acid stratification is absent. It is easy to transport and handle. Spill and leak proof. High pressure “HADI” casting process is used at 100 bars. The spines of the batteries are coated with metals and alloys to prevent anodic corrosion from harming the lead support.	Specially designed to endure deep discharge. To guide the electrolyte level of the battery, and electrolyte level indicator is used in the pilot cell. It has a long idle shelf life. It can be quickly recharged even if it is in a deep discharge state. It possesses an advanced venting system to prevent gas build-up and ensure the safe discharge of acidic fumes.	Its corrosion-resistant property ensures a long service life. It is designed with HADI spine casting. The batteries recharge quickly and are therefore suitable for areas that suffer from frequent power cuts.	Leakproof design Constructed with heat-sealed Polypropylene (PP) container and cover. To reduce the frequency of topping-up intervals, the positive plates are made of low antimony alloy. To eliminate the chances of shedding, the active material is poured into the tubes. Microporous aqua-trap ceramic float guide vent plug is designed to ensure that the device is environment friendly and not hazardous to health.	Longer service life as compared to others. It is resistant to temperature variations and therefore can be used in different types of places. It is made up of pure lead.
Applications	Railways Inverters Power Plants UPS Applications	Office Automation Equipment UPS application Telecommunication System	Process instrumentation control UPS application Home and offices	Emergency lighting system Fire and Security Department Solar-powered systems	Lighthouses Railways Airports Telecom companies Power outage stations
