Battery Reserve System
Introduction
A battery reserve system is a key component for a reliable power system. The CPS6000
provides a primary voltage of -48Vdc that drives load equipment. At the same time, it
provides float and recharge capability for the battery reserve system. If an ac power failure
occurs, the batteries provide power to the load equipment until the ac can be restored.
Types of Batteries
CPS6000 may be used with valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. Up to four strings of
VR-type batteries or equivalent general trade batteries may be connected directly to a
CPS6000 shelf.
Certain Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Lithium-Ion batteries may also be used with the
CPS6000. Please contact your sales representative for details. CPS6000 is also compatible to
Flooded lead-acid batteries.
See Appendix D for detailed descriptions of battery related functions; float and boost
charging, thermal compensation, and system battery test functions.
