NBLE / NBM / NBH
NICA block-type nickel-cadmium batteries provide industrial standby power across low-, medium- and high-rate discharge duties. Select NBLE for long-duration energy, NBM for mixed loads or NBH for engine starting and high-current duty.
Rugged polypropylene blocks and steel pocket plates support dependable service in stationary backup applications.
Choose the range for your duty
| Range | Rated capacity | Discharge duty | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBLE | 22–1690 Ah | Low rate · 1–100 hours | Long-duration power backup |
| NBM | 22–1445 Ah | Mixed loads · 30 minutes–3 hours | Industrial backup with variable loads |
| NBH | 8.3–920 Ah | High rate · less than 30 minutes | Engine starting and short-duration backup |
Pocket plate technology
Balanced performance
NBM
Intermediate plate thickness suits mixed high- and low-current loads.
High current
NBH
Thin plates deliver high-current performance for engine starting and short-duration discharges.
Built for industrial service
- Steel pocket plates resist deterioration of the supporting structure.
- Tough polypropylene cells are welded into rigid blocks according to cell size and type.
- An electrolyte reserve supports practical inspection and maintenance intervals.
- Protective covers and flame-arresting flip-top vents are part of the construction.
- Life expectancy exceeds 20 years at 25°C.
Applications
- Process control and industrial instrumentation
- Switchgear, switching and transmission systems
- Emergency lighting, security and alarm systems
- Power backup in industrial facilities
- Engine starting and high-current backup
Charging and maintenance
For two-level charging, the float voltage is 1.42 ± 0.01 V per cell for NBLE and 1.40 ± 0.01 V per cell for NBM and NBH.
Inspect electrolyte levels, connection condition and charger operation as part of the maintenance programme. Topping-up intervals depend on temperature and charging conditions. Use the charging instructions for the selected battery.
