Introduction - C&D Technologies LIBERTY 1000 Series Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

INTRODUCTION

The batteries referenced in this document are valve-regulated lead acid Liberty Series 1000 ® .
They are constructed with pasted lead calcium plates with an absorbent glass mat and are
valve-regulated. They are designed to provide long, reliable service life with minimal
maintenance. The cells/units are shipped pre-assembled in 2-, 4-, 6- and 12-Volt modules to
enable quick and easy installation. When operated at the recommended float voltage and
temperature, the batteries emit virtually no gas or acid mist and do not need special
ventilation other than what is required by local building codes. This makes Liberty Series
1000 batteries an ideal reserve power source for many critical applications, including
telecommunications, switchgear and control, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
systems. The Liberty Series 1000 product brochure and additional information are available
on the C&D Technologies website at www.cdtechno.com.
Recombination: A More Efficient Design
In addition to eliminating the need for watering, the uniquely efficient recombination design
also makes Liberty Series 1000 batteries lighter and more powerful than conventional lead-
acid batteries. Oxygen evolves from the positive plates where it is converted back to water
by electro chemical recombination, eliminating the need for watering.
CAUTION: Do not remove vent covers, they must remain in place at all times. Removal
will void warranty.
