8XNFZ38

**13.2V, 38Ah Nickel-Zinc Battery**

The ideal VRLA replacement for datacenter UPS and critical backup power. It supports continuous 10C high-rate discharge for instant high-power output and is UL9540A certified for zero thermal runaway risk. 

Compared to traditional VRLA, the NiZn battery saves footprint and reduces floor loading requirements while offering a longer lifespan and enabling operation in harsh climates. A sustainable, high-density upgrade for modern infrastructure.

**Applications:**
Data Center, Railway Transportation, Financial Bank, Petroleum & Petrochemical, Emergency Power Supply, Communications Equipment.
