Weidmüller DC-UPS 1.3 Ah battery

Weidmüller has added a 1.3 Ah battery to its range of DC-UPS batteries. With the addition of the 1.3 Ah battery, the DC-UPS family now provides backup power from minutes to hours for automation components. The range includes batteries from 1.3 up to 17 Ah.

The 1.3 Ah model delivers 10 min of power backup at 3 A or 40 min at 1 A, ensuring a 24 VDC power supply is available for automation. This allows users to avoid machinery and system downtime during a mains failure for a specified time. Plus, the battery keeps safety functions, process controls and communication active for a defined time period.

Made from a Panasonic AGM lead-acid battery, the 1.3 Ah DC-UPS model together with the UPS controller backs up mains failure safely and reliably. The 1.3 Ah model also has a temperature-compensated charging feature which measures the battery temperature and automatically sets charging voltage according to the temperature-compensated charging recognition, maximising the life of the battery. Depending on usage, users can receive a battery life of up to 9 years.

The 1.3 Ah battery is also very compact -  at 52 mm wide - and can be DIN rail or cold-plate mounted. The battery is also easy and quick to install due to its pluggable connectors.

The battery’s DC-UPS control unit operates to 70°C and comes with four status signals for easy user notification. In addition, the three status signals - alarm/buffers/charge - can be transmitted using voltage-free relay contacts and additional transistor outputs.
