1 Introduction
IR-30EC and
IR-40EC
Batteries
This product manual (Select Code 157-622-020) provides
information on Lucent Technologies IR-30EC and IR-40EC
Series I batteries. The IR-30EC and IR-40EC batteries are
12-volt, stationary, valve-regulated, rechargeable, lead-acid
batteries, which are backed by Bell Laboratories, an
acknowledged leader in technology, research, and design of
power systems.
Lucent Technologies’ power products have proved their field
reliability by providing dependable standby reserve power for
the telecommunications industry for decades. All battery
components and manufacturing processes meet Lucent
Technologies’ strict specifications and quality standards.
Designed for applications where the loads are fairly small,
temperatures may vary, and long back-up time is desired,
IR-30EC and IR-40EC Series I batteries are an excellent choice
for subscriber loop, customer premises, and distributed power
cabinets.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 illustrate the IR-30EC and IR-40EC Series I
batteries.

Lucent Technologies IR-30EC and IR-40EC Series I Batteries
Issue 7 November 1998 Product Description 2 - 1
2 Product Description
Overview Lucent Technologies IR Series I batteries are configured in two
different ampere-hour capacities that are engineered to meet
specific and often unique application requirements: IR-30EC
and IR-40EC.
The valve-regulated design and constructionof the IR-30EC and
IR-40EC batteries prevents electrolyte leakage and minimizes
water loss and maintenance throughout the design life. During
normal operation, oxygen is generated at the positive electrode
and hydrogen is generated at the negative electrode. In
conventional (flooded) lead-acid cells, these electrochemical
reactions result in water loss from the electrolyte. The
self-resealing pressure release safety valves in IR-30EC and
IR-40EC batteries are designed to aid in the electrochemical
recombination of nearly all the oxygen within the battery. In
addition, the safety valves prevent the build-up of excessive
internal pressure.
The IR-30EC and IR-40EC batteries comply with the
requirement for sealed battery/cell pressure release test of
UL1989, Standard for Standby Batteries.
Features • High energy density
• Leak-resistant post seals
• Flame arrestor
• Flame-retardant 94-V0 polypropylene container and cover
• Metal sleeve

*Lucent Technologies IR-30EC and IR-40EC batteries are provided with a 14 AWG
lead assembly terminating with AMP #350537-6 contacts and an AMP #1-480698-0
plug as standard equipment. The standard lead assembly was designed to be
compatible with Lucent Technologies SLC 96 and SLC Series 5 applications where
reserve power of 5 hours or longer duration is required. The standard assembly may
not be suitable for applications where the battery load exceeds the 5-hour rate, and may
fail catastrophically at battery charge/discharge currents exceeding 18 amperes.
