GNB Absolyte GP Battery Module Data Sheet

®
A WORLD LEADER IN VALVE
REGULATED LEAD ACID (VRLA)
BATTERY POWER FOR
PHOTOVOLTAIC AND ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY APPLICATIONS
• Proven Field Experience Since 1983.
• The Absolyte was developed by GNB, in conjunction
with Sandia National Laboratories, as the first VRLA,
large capacity, deep-cycle battery for photovoltaic
applications.
• Patented lead-calcium-tin-sliver positive grid alloy
provides excellent cycle life for photovoltaic
applications.
• Provides for extended partial state of charge operation
and allows for deep discharge recovery.
• Wide band of temperature operation — retains more
capacity in cold temperatures than traditional flooded
batteries.
• Modular steel tray design provides excellent heat
dissipation in high temperature applications.
• Housed in protective steel trays designed for
maximum installation flexibility.
• Single cell modules are available that simplify
transport to remote locations.
• Eliminates the need for periodic water additions as
found in flooded cells. Periodic visual inspections,
voltage readings, and connection retorquing is all that
is required.
• Absolyte GP is qualified to stack horizontally up to
eight high for use in 1997 UBC/2001 CBC Seismic
Zone IV (at or below grade).
• UL Recognized, ISO 9001:2000, NEBS Level 3 Certified
in Certain Cnfigurations.

ASSEMBLY
CONFIGURATIONS
Horizontal Stack Assembly
Depth is overall, including module
cover assembly. Add 102mm (4”) for
bottom I-beam supports to determine
total height of assembled
horizontal stack.
