Technical Specifications

Saft Urja - KPL - Long rate performance

11 Ah – 1550 Ah

KPL has the thickest plate and is designed for applications where the battery must provide:

• Reliable energy over long discharge period
• A current that is relatively low in comparison with the total stored energy
• Infrequent discharges

KPL is typically used in power back-up and bulk energy storage applications. KPL cell has thick plates to provide a large capacity reserve for long duration discharge such as emergency lighting, alarms, railway signalling, DC instrumentation and photovoltaic system.

Saft Urja - KPM - Medium rate performance

10 Ah – 1365 Ah

KPM is designed for applications where the batteries must sustain:

• Demanding typical backup time between 30 minutes and 3 hours between 30 minutes and 3 hours
• “Mixed” loads which involve high and low discharge rates
• Frequent or infrequent discharges

KPM type is typically used in power back-up applications such as transmission & distribution substations for switchgear applications.

Saft Urja - KPH - High rate performance

8 Ah – 1012 Ah

KPH uses very thin plates and is designed for applications demanding:

• A relatively high current over short periods usually less than 1-hour duration
• Usually less than 1 hour duration
• Frequent or infrequent discharges

KPH type is typically used in engine starting and power plant emergency back-up applications.
