The FIT AGM VRLA range is designed for the highest reliability and safety fields. These batteries are constructed with an easy-access front-terminal design and are particularly suited to telecom backup applications in 19” and 23” cabinets. The construction of the FIT range is aimed to minimise the footprint thanks to good energy density and allows easy access during the routine visual inspections.
Internally high-quality fiber-glass separators are used to control recombination currents and avoid thermal runaway. The exterior construction uses a flame retardant ABS plastic to UL94 V0 (LOI greater than 28%) – this guarantees a high level of safety and superior thermal stability to avoid case bulging. The design has been optimized to lower self-discharge during storage.
Applications
Industry & Utilities
Industry and power generation are the engine of the world. Power generation creates vital energy and industry transforms materials into products.
Today, both of these sectors are upgrading to a new era; of cleaner power and increased automated systems, robotics and digitisation.
Energy is at the heart of this revolution. It is the force that relies on power to control and produce vital products and services. It is the force that powers our personal and work lives. All of these needs are complex, all of them are connected and even a momentary loss of power, no matter how brief, can lead to major downtimes in industry and an interruption in our personal lives.
FIAMM supports industry with critical back-up batteries. We support power generating plants, oil platforms, manufacturing processes and much more.
Motion
FIAMM supports industrial mobility systems such as rail and marine applications. Many of our batteries are designed for rugged applications where there is motion and vibration.
On water we provide energy for small seacrafts right up to major ocean-going ships. Our products support critical systems when vessels leave the safety of land and cross small or mighty oceans.
Our power solutions support command and safety systems, whatever the conditions at sea.
On land we support rail networks. In metro subways systems, local and high-speed train networks – they all need and use our solutions. They support engines power and driver controls as well as safety systems. In passenger carriages they power door openings, ventilation and lighting.
FIAMM solutions, on the move or stationary are always there to support our customers critical needs.
Telecom
Telecom connects the world. It links people to people; people to information; people when there is a critical need.
The pace of change in telecom is astounding. In just a few decades our society has transitioned from fixed networks with connected lines to a mobile, wireless community. Today there are over five billion mobile smartphone users across the globe and the numbers continue to grow.
To support this revolution there is a complex architecture of masts, antennas and radio stations.
All transmitter systems, fixed or mobile, need electrical energy to operate. Without this energy a network will fail. Batteries play a critical role and they provide backup power when mains power fails.
FIAMM helping to keep your world connected.
Technologies
AGM technology
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries offer improved performance with faster charging, longer life and safer operation. These batteries are constructed with an absorbent glass-mat separator between the negative and positive plates. Special safety valves are fitted to minimise electrolyte dry-out over the life of the battery.
