KPX TYPE (Ultra High Discharge Rate Cells)

KPX Series ultra high rate nickel cadmium battery, which is made of sintered plates, is characterized as having compact construction, low internal resistance, high reliability, high capacity, long service life, and excellent low temperature performance. The battery is suitable for ultra high discharge rate applications such as AGV, engine starting, switch tripping and closing, etc.

Applications:
AGV, gas turbine generator, engine, starting operating/control of computer systems, transportation networks, airport, etc.

Charge:
The most common type of charging for stationary batteries is modified constant voltage, usually with current limitation of 0.2ItA or 0.1ItA (C/5 or C/10). The battery is connected to the charger directly which applies a constant voltage across the battery terminals.
Recommanded single cell charging voltage:
Float charge: 1.39+0.01
Equalizing charge: 1.50

Initial charging
The whole charge should be carried out preferably at constant current. The charging time is inversely proportional to the current which is set by the current limit of the charging equipment. Recommened rates and time for the first charging:
0.21tA for 10 hours
0.1 ItA for 20 hours
