7. Fastest recharge - EnerSys’ pure lead-tin chemistry
allows GENESIS to offer the shortest recharge
efficiency of any sealed-lead battery on the market.
With pure lead-tin, you can achieve a 95% state of
recharge in less than one hour - without loss of
capacity or electrolyte using conventional constant-
voltage charging techniques.
Flexible charging options are possible with GENESIS,
as no current limit is required when using a constant
voltage charger.
8. Orientation/placement/transport - Due to the
products’ mechanical design, GENESIS can be
mounted and operated in any position, except
inverted, an attractive feature for less accessible areas.
GENESIS offer UL94 V-0 non-halogenated flame-
retardant packaging, thus allowing the mounting of
systems in sensitive areas and human environments.
GENESIS products are classified as “nonspillable
batteries”, and are excepted from the Department of
Transportation’s comprehensive packaging
requirements if the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) The battery is protected against short circuits and
is securely packaged and (2) The battery and outer
packaging must be plainly and durably marked
“NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY”.
GENESIS shipments from EnerSys Warrensburg
location, will be properly labeled in accordance with
applicable regulations. Packaging changes performed
at other locations may require additional labeling,
since in addition to the battery itself containing the
required marking, the outer packaging of the battery
must also contain the required marking:
“NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY”.
GENESIS batteries have been tested and determined
to be in compliance with the vibration and pressure
differential tests contained in 49 CFR § 173.159(d).
Because GENESIS are classified as “Nonspillable”
and meet the conditions from § 173.159(d) they do
not have an assigned UN number nor do they require
additional DOT hazard labeling.
All batteries that have been tested and determined to
be in compliance with the DOT Hazardous Material
Regulations, the International Civil Aeronautics
Organization (ICAO), and the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) Packaging Instruction
806 and Special Provision A67, are therefore exempt
from all other requirements of these regulations and
classified as a “nonspillable battery”.
9. Shelf life - Pure lead-tin batteries have an extremely
low self-discharge rate, thus providing extended
storage capability while maintaining high state-of-
charge levels for dependable operation.
GENESIS has a shelf life more than two times that of
conventional lead batteries. To assure maximum
reliability, EnerSys recommends that all stored
cells/batteries be recharged (boost charged) once
every 24 months or when the open circuit voltage
drops to 12.00 volts per battery, whichever occurs
earlier. Inventory should be checked more frequently
if storage temperature regularly exceeds 25°C.
