Over several years lPA niphan
Systems have been producing Auxiliary
Power and Distribution Systems
incorporating Battery Rafts for both
Overland and Underground trains.
Systems are designed, developed
and manufactured to meet customer
specification and space envelopes
in collaboration with battery
manufacturers and rail vehicle builders
utilising a combination of in-house
skills.
AuXILIARY PowER & DISTRIBTIoN SYSTEMS INCoRPoRATINg BATTERY RAFTS
These include electrical, electronic
and mechanical design; sourcing;
component, frame and enclosure
manufacture; electrical, electronic and
mechanical assembly; thus using the
complete group capabilities.

• Type - Gel
• Voltage: 6V and 12V
• Connect in series to add to required
voltage
• Type – General AGM
• Voltage: 6V and 12V
• Connect in series to add to required
voltage
• C20 Rating - 1.2 Ah to 260Ah
• Sealed Construction
The unique construction and sealing
techniques of the FUllRIVeR battery
guarantee leak proof operation in any
position with no adverse effect to capacity or
service life.
• Electrolyte Suspension System
All FULLRIVER batteries utilize an electrolyte
suspension system consisting of a high
porosity, glass fibre material which in
conjunction with plates, totally absorb and
contain the electrolyte.
• Gas Generation
FUllRIVeR batteries incorporate a builtin
design that controls gas generation and
induces recombination of more than 99% of
gases generated during float usage.
• Maintenance Free Operation
There is no need to check specific gravity of
the electrolyte or add water to FUllRIVeR
batteries during float service life. In
fact, there is no provision for this type of
maintenance.
• Low Pressure Valve Regulated System
All FUllRIVeR batteries are equipped with
safety release valves, designed to operate
between 2 and 5 psi and automatically
reseal. hence, there is never an excessive
accumulation of gas within the battery.

TECHNICAL FEATuRES
LEAD ACID BATTERIES
• C20 Rating - 24Ah to 240Ah
• C5 Rating - 20Ah to 205Ah
• Designed service life: 10-12 years in Float
Service applications (20ºC)
• C5 Rating –1Ah to 221Ah
• Designed service life: Up to 23Ah
– 6years in Float Service applications
(25ºC)
• Above 23Ah – 10 years
in Float Service (25ºC)
• Heavy Duty Grids
heavy duty lead calcium tin alloy grids
provide an extra margin of performance
and service life in either float or cyclic
applications, even after repeated over
discharges.
• Cyclic Service Life
More than 1000 discharge/recharge cycles
can be realized from FULLRIVER batteries,
dependent on the average depth of
discharge.
• Self Discharge-Shelf Life
The self discharge rate of the hl and hgl
series at room temperature is approximately
3% of rated capacity per month.
• Operating Temperature
Batteries may be operated over a broad
range of ambient temperatures.
• Deep Discharge Recovery
FUllRIVeR batteries recover their capacities
even after repeated deep discharges.
CoNSTRuCTIoN & ELECTRoLYTE
• Positive plates
Positive plates are plate electrodes of which
a grid frame of lead-tin-calcium alloy holds
porous lead dioxide as the active material.
• Negative plates
negative plates are plate electrodes of which
a grid frame of lead-tin-calcium alloy holds
spongy lead as the active material.
• Electrolyte
Diluted sulphuric acid is used as the medium
for conducting ions in the electromechanical
reaction in the battery.
• Separators
Separators, which retain electrolyte and
prevent shorting between positive and
negative plates, adopt a non-woven fabric of
fine glass fibres which is chemically stable in
the diluted sulphuric acid electrolyte. Being
highly porous, separators retain electrolyte
for the reaction of active materials in the
plates.
• Valve (one way valve)
The valve is comprised of a one-way valve
made of material such as neoprene. When
gas is generated in the battery under
extreme overcharge condition due to
erroneous charging, charger malfunctions
or other abnormalities, the vent valve opens
to release excessive pressure in the battery
and maintain the gas pressure within specific
range (7.1 to 43.6kPa). During ordinary use
of the battery, the vent valve is closed to shut
out outside air and prevent oxygen in the air
from reacting with the active material in the
negative electrodes.
• Positive and negative electrode terminals
Positive and negative electrode terminals
may be faston tab type, bolt fastening
type, threaded post type, or lead wire type,
depending on the type of the battery. Sealing
of the terminal is achieved by a structure
which secures long adhesive-embedded
paths and by the adoption of strong epoxy
adhesives.
• Battery case materials
Materials of the body and cover of the battery
case are ABS resins, unless otherwise
specified.
