 Nickel Cadmium Pocket Plate Batteries

SBS's Nickel Cadmium Pocket Plate Battery

designs are based on the superior Pocket Plate
technology of SABNIFE AB, Sweden.

The first electrode design for Nickel Cadmium

Batteries employed the pocket plate
construction which is still considered to be the
most reliable design. IEC/EN 60623

The fully integrated modern factory, supported

by strong process management and quality
controls makes SBS one of the best Nickel
Cadmium Battery production facilities in the
world.

SBS’s NCPP Block Batteries are available as

Blocks (of individual cells thermally welded
together) of multiple voltages & capacities.

Designed to perfection, built to last

The Superior constructional features of the SBS’s
Nickel Cadmium Pocket Plate Battery, makes it a reliable product for any application

Construction

Splash guard
Prevents electrolyte splashing and possible short-circuit
Flame Arresting Vent caused by external objects accidentally falling into the cell
Prevents explosion & electrolyte contamination

Plate Groups
Welded construction imparts high mechanical strength
to withstand severe vibrations
Terminal Arrangement
Nickel-plated terminal posts provide good
electrical conductivity
Plate
Made of Double perforated steel strips, encompass the
active materials

Polypropylene Grid Separator

Separates the plates and insulate the frames Translucent polypropylene container
from each other and allows free electrolyte flow Fusion welded to lids, makes the cell mechanically
sturdy and facilitates visual electrolyte level inspection

 Product Range
SBS’s NCPP Block Batteries are available in three types designated KBH, KBM & KBL based on performance
characteristics. The wide capacity range in each type permit selection of an optimum battery for any
application.

Outstanding Advantages of SBS’s batteries are:

Highest reliability among all battery systems. Operation over a wide temperature range.

Unsurpassed resistance to electrical and Minimal maintenance.

mechanical abuse.
Long shelf life.
Long service life.
Quick charging.
Very good charge retention.

Built in Reliability
In the Pocket Plate Design, the Active materials are
encapsulated between folded steel strips which are perforated
from both sides. This double perforation method increases the
effective surface area by 30% and helps in better utilization of
the active material thereby making the battery more efficient.
The folded steel strips are pressed into a frame; the alkaline
electrolyte reacts only with the Active Materials and not with
the steel structure, so there is no chance of internal mechanical
failure. This makes the battery strong enough to withstand
s h o c k o r v i b r a t i o n .

The pocket plate group separators are made of a wear

resistant polypropylene / ABS material which is
chemically inert. These cells are available in containers
of polypropylene. The polypropylene container can
withstand mechanical stresses, shocks and vibrations.
It performs in temperature extremes without losing
strength, insulates well, resists corrosion. Furthermore,
the translucent nature of polypropylene allows visual
check of electrolyte level for ease of maintenance. The
cells are also available in Structural Foam molded, Stainless
Steel containers for special requirements.

The above design features make these batteries rugged and

highly reliable.

Governing Standards

SBS’s NCPP batteries conform to relevant international standards such as IEC, DIN, BS, KS, etc. The Batteries are
tested and certified by INTERTEK ETL SEMKO for IEC 60623 standards.

Battery Characteristics
Nickel Cadmium pocket plate batteries are the most reliable and rugged batteries available today. They can
withstand to a great extent any type of abuse like overcharge, deep discharge, even accidental reverse charge and
can be stored in any state of charge.

Charging
These batteries can be charged by all normal methods (like taper, constant current, constant voltage, float or trickle
charging. A Dual mode charger which will recharge a discharged battery in Boost mode (higher voltage and current)
and then bring it to Float mode (lower voltage) to keep it in fully charged condition is ideal to get the best
performance.

Current limit - max. 0.2C5 A

Float voltage - 1.40 to 1.42 V/Cell
However, if single mode charger is already available, like in old systems or in locomotives, the battery can
be operated with constant voltage charging.
Recommended Charging voltage setting: 1.45 to 1.50V / Cell.

Discharge Performance
The rated capacity of a Nickel Cadmium battery is defined as the Ampere Hours available at 5 hour rate of discharge
to an end voltage of 1.00V/Cell at 200C after charging at constant current of 0.2C5 rate for 8 hours. The nominal
voltage of a single cell is 1.2 volts.

The discharge performance depends on the battery type. For example, a H type cell at 15 minutes discharge can
deliver about twice the discharge current compared to an L type cell of equal rated capacity.

Always use the discharge performance tables to find the proper H, M and L type alternatives for a specific
application.

The tabulated discharge performance data are valid for cells fully charged. Discharge performance data after long
term float with Constant Voltage is also provided.

If the actual conditions differ from standard, the expected performance will be different. Our application
engineering department will provide the details and further help you in selecting the optimum battery type for your
requirement.

In accordance with its policy of continuous improvement the company reserves the right to change specifications and designs
without notice. Illustrations,data, dimensions and weights given in this brochure are for guidance only.

 SINGLE TIER RACKS
BATTERY RACK DIMENSIONS 2STEP 1TIER RACK

Calculation of length :
Length of rack = (X + 5) x No. of block cells in a row ( for all block cells )
Where X = Length of cell / Block cell for Row-wise mounting ( i.e. for B21-1, B22-1,B23-1, B24-1, B31-1, B31B-1,
B32-1, B33-1, B41-1, B41B-1, B42-1, B42A-1, B44-1, B45-1)
= width of Cell / Block cell for Cross-wise mounting ( i.e. for B31 / 31B / 32 / 41 / 41B / 42A / 42-2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6)
The value of length should be rounded-off to nearest to 50 mm and 5mm should be added.

Standard arrangement of cells on racks :

Arrangement KBH KBM KBL

Normal 9 to 118 12 to 231 8 to 256

Crosswise 127 to 930 277 to 1460 280 to 1540

NORMAL ARRANGEMENT CROSS WISE ARRANGEMENT

For cross-wise arrangement the W measurement should be used to determine the rack length
and the L measurement will determine the rack depth.
