FIAMM AGM 42Ah Battery for Photovoltaic Solar Panels
The FGL series batteries are designed to offer excellent performance with all discharge profiles. The FGL range uses VRLA technology with 99% internal recombination, which means that no maintenance is required for electrolyte topping up during their operational life. The self-discharge rate of less than 2% per month ensures long storage times without recharging. The FGL range is designed for applications that require a high level of reliability and safety, and they are suitable for use in combination with a 12V photovoltaic system.
The FGL series AGM batteries are ideal for mobile and stationary applications such as: - Energy storage systems for renewable energies - Emergency lights and Light signaling - Security & alarm systems - Industrial & process continuity - UPS applications - Light traction (electric bicycles and electric scooters) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Capacity: 42Ah Nominal Voltage: 12V Weight: 13.8 Kg Dimensions (mm): 197 x 165 x 170 (Width x Depth x Height) GENERAL FEATURES Optimized for discharges up to 20 hours 5 years design life in float at controlled ambient temperature VRLA AGM and gas recombination technology, with 99% of internal gases recombined Maintenance-free; no topping up Non-hazardous for transport by air/sea/rail/road 100% Recyclable TECHNICAL AND CONSTRUCTION FEATURES Grids: obtained by gravity casting with highly pure lead-calcium-tin alloy Separators: electrolyte fully absorbed in ultra-high microporosity glass fiber separators (AGM) Terminal connections: threaded inserts that ensure high conductivity and allow easy installation Polar seals: high-reliability polar passages, specially designed to prevent acid infiltration over a wide temperature range Unidirectional safety valves: allow excess gas to escape in case of overcharge Flame arrestor device: prevents the entry of sparks or flames into the battery Container and lid: designed with thick ABS walls for high mechanical resistance Self-discharge: < 2% per month at 20°C, allowing 6 months of storage without recharging USAGE AND INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS - Install batteries away from heat sources of any kind and flames - Install batteries in non-humid places and protect them from surface deposits - Do not install batteries in hermetically sealed environments or very close to open flames or sparks as gases may be emitted - In case of mounting multiple batteries, it is preferable to leave space between the batteries to provide cooling and ventilation - If charging with a mains charger, the current ripple must be less than 0.1A R.M.S. - Do not use gasoline, diesel, or other types of solvents to clean containers - In case of internal acid leaks due to casing breakage, avoid contact with hands as sulfuric acid is present inside - In case of contact, wash hands thoroughly with water and pay utmost attention to the eyes - Do not connect batteries of different capacities or significantly different "production ages" in series or parallel - Periodically verify the state of wear and/or cleanliness - Batteries should not be disposed of with household waste but returned to a recycling center Reference Standards - IEC 60896 Part 21 - testing methods for valve-regulated batteries (VRLA) - IEC 60896 Part 22 - requirements for VRLA - UL Certified - Eurobat 3-5 years commercial standard FIAMM Certifications - ISO 9001 Quality Management System - ISO 14001 Environmental Management System - OHSAS 18001 - Occupational health and safety
