In today's telecommunications infrastructure, reliable standby power is non-negotiable, especially in harsh, high-temperature conditions where traditional valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries can degrade rapidly.

C&D Technologies used proprietary design advances to develop MSE Pure Lead technology, a cost-effective large format VRLA solution for high-temperature applications, such as outdoor wireless cabinets in hot climates, as well as in controlled settings like optical regeneration sites. Integrating C&D’s VRLA batteries in telecommunications backup systems can reduce costly cooling equipment and help lower operating costs.

C&D’s dedicated engineers drew from over 120 years of collective experience to develop cutting-edge Pure Lead with MSE Technology. It is the foundation of a portfolio of batteries that provide the performance, reliability, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) necessary to meet the needs of a market evolving due to the surge in AI and edge computing.

The key solutions that utilize C&D MSE Pure Lead Technology: TEL High Temperature (HT) Series batteries provide standby power to critical applications in the telecommunications industry. 

TEL-HT has been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding requirements. It operates over a wide temperature range of -40° F to 160° F (-40° C to 71° C), so it provides reliable performance in extreme environments. C&D supports TEL-HT high-temp batteries with an industry-leading warranty that generates an estimated 20% cost savings for operators, who can extend their replacement cycles for an additional 1-2 years, compared to a conventional VRLA battery.

Pure Lead Max is C&D’s longest-lasting VRLA battery for backup systems. It has an industry-leading 8-year warranty that results in a single-battery replacement cycle for a 15-year UPS system, reducing replacement costs by up to 40%. Maintenance costs are lowered by up to 38%, as well. Additionally, the Pure Lead Max footprint is up to 28% less than alternative VRLA batteries, creating more revenue-generating space.

Pure Lead Plus batteries provide many of the same benefits of Pure Lead Max. With a warranty of 5 years, they provide the inherent benefits of Pure Lead MSE Technology to more cost-conscious applications.
