C&D Technologies, a leader in innovation and delivery of energy storage solutions, has introduced the TEL-HT telecom high temperature valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries.
The TEL-HT series features C&D’s longest-lasting VRLA batteries for the telecom market and creates approximately 20% cost savings to provide operators with reliable, cost-efficient backup power.
The TEL-HT VRLA batteries combine C&D’s MSE Pure Lead technology with additional C&D innovation to create multiple benefits for service providers:
- 20% Cost Savings: The industry-leading warranty generates an estimated 20% cost savings for operators, who can extend their replacement cycles an additional 1-2 years, compared to a conventional VRLA battery.
- 2x Longer Battery Life: MSE Pure Lead requires lower float currents, which slows grid corrosion and limits water loss by 50%, allowing the batteries to operate safely at higher temperatures. This also contributes to an extended design life of 10+ years, more than twice that of conventional VRLA batteries. Its two-year storage life is twice as long as other VRLA batteries, as well.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Reduced float current and other benefits are realized with MSE Pure Lead. The result is that TEL-HT batteries operate at a wide temperature range of -40° to 160° F to provide reliable performance in extreme climates. Elevated temperatures are also accounted for in the industry-leading warranty.
- Product Reliability: TEL-HT batteries are designed with True Front Access featuring patented Extrusion Fusion Weld technology that allows a direct weld from the battery plates to the front access terminal of each monobloc. Due to this technology, TEL-HT batteries have reduced points of failure and require less maintenance.
The TEL-HT VRLA batteries deliver reliable backup power in virtually any critical telecom application. Their design and long life make them especially well-suited for installation in uncontrolled environments, such as wireline outside plant, wireless cell sites, broadband outside plant, and microwave repeaters.

Our new TEL-HT is the most recent example of C&D innovation. Services providers realize lower cost of ownership and reliable performance, so they have greater peace of mind related to backup power. TEL-HT combines our advanced MSE Pure Lead technology, optimized grid alloys, True Front Access® terminal design, and meticulous attention to quality in every step of the manufacturing process. The results are significant.
