Selection Guide for BEINING Batteries
Selection Guide for BEINING Batteries (FCG12-100 Model)

1. Key Specifications to Evaluate
When selecting the BEINING FCG12-100 battery, prioritize the following parameters to ensure compatibility and performance:
- Nominal Voltage: 12V (standard for most applications).
- Rated Capacity: 100Ah (20-hour rate at 25°C).
- Dimensions: Approximately 407mm (L) × 174mm (W) × 209mm (H) (total height including terminals: 233mm).
- Weight: Around 36.5kg (varies slightly by configuration).
- Terminal Type: Copper terminals (low resistance, high conductivity).
2. Performance Considerations
- Low Internal Resistance: Ensures efficient power delivery and minimal heat generation during high-current discharge.
- Deep Discharge Recovery: Maintains capacity after deep discharges (e.g., 80% DoD) when recharged promptly.
- Self-Discharge Rate: ≤3% per month at 25°C (ideal for long-term storage).
- Charging Current: Recommended at 0.15CA (15A for FCG12-100) for safe and efficient charging.
3. Safety and Reliability Features
- Sealed Design: Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) technology prevents acid leaks and gas emissions.
- Safety Valve: Releases excess gas to prevent pressure buildup, enhancing safety.
- Explosion-Proof Filter: Prevents internal sparks from igniting gases.
- Environmental Adaptability: Operates in temperatures ranging from -15°C to 50°C (discharge) and -20°C to 50°C (storage).
4. Application-Specific Recommendations
- UPS Systems: Choose FCG12-100 for reliable backup power in critical IT infrastructure, telecommunications, and medical equipment.
- Renewable Energy: Suitable for solar power storage due to its deep-cycle capability and low self-discharge.
- Industrial Use: Withstands harsh environments with minimal maintenance, ideal for manufacturing and emergency lighting.
5. Certifications and Compliance
- Ensure the battery meets international standards (e.g., IEC, UL) for safety and performance.
- Verify compliance with environmental regulations (e.g., RoHS) for eco-friendly disposal.
6. Comparison with Alternatives
- Voltage/Capacity Matching: Confirm compatibility with existing systems (e.g., 12V systems only).
- Physical Fit: Check dimensions to ensure the battery fits in the designated space.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Balance upfront cost with long-term reliability and maintenance savings.
7. Example Selection Criteria
- For a 12V UPS System:
- Required Capacity: ≥100Ah (to support load for 30+ minutes).
- Physical Space: Ensure dimensions (407×174×209mm) fit the UPS enclosure.
- Terminal Type: Match copper terminals with existing connectors.
- For Solar Storage:
- Cycle Life: Prioritize batteries with ≥1,500 cycles at 50% DoD.
- Self-Discharge: Choose ≤3%/month for seasonal energy storage.
