What is Front Terminal Battery
 
 

Front terminal battery is also one type of lead acid batteries, with long and narrow design concept. Standard AGM lead acid battery with terminals on the top, but front terminal batteries have their terminals in the front(hence the name). but i think this is not he only difference between front terminal batteries and standard lead acid batteries, such as 12V7AH, 12V9AH and 12V250AH/12V 300AH also with the terminal on one side of the cover and on the top of battery. The benefit of having the terminals in the front is that makes installing and supervising the batteries easy.

 

Benefits of Front Terminal Battery
 

Power density
All front terminals offer a strong power density and use their footprint with maximum power efficiency. This can solve on site issues where space is at a premium and fitment of batteries can be an issue, such as older office environments where building service and IT rooms can be limited but the requirement to support modern critical services remain. Space saving battery power solutions are a great advantage and can leave extra space for additional equipment which are an inevitable requirement as businesses expand within existing premises.The image below shows front terminal batteries on an open rack as part of a major UPS installation, the efficient fitment capability of front terminal batteries provide a space conscious design.

 

Ease of installation
Installation of front terminal batteries into cabinets or racks tends to be very simple compared to top terminal battery products as, of course, the battery terminals will be facing the front of the battery rack or cabinet. This means all the terminals are easily reached and are connected in a row using just a small solid interconnecting bar, rather than varying lengths of cable or long solid bar connectors required for top terminal batteries. Specific layout designs for top terminal batteries can be quite complicated depending on the type of installation required, this is much less in the case of front terminal batteries where inter battery connection requires just one common link type on most occasions.

 

Ongoing maintenance
Another considerable benefit to front terminal batteries is post installation maintenance. With this type of layout the accessibility of the live terminals is paramount for taking measurements from the system such as voltage and impedance required to ascertain the health of the installation. Taking these readings from easy to reach terminals is a great advantage and a major time saving feature when compared to top terminal batteries.

 

Safety
Reaching over the top of connected batteries within a cabinet to take measurements is not ideal. Front terminal batteries eliminate this disadvantage with the location of all inter connecting parts and terminals being easily and practically in reach. VRLA front terminal batteries are non spillable, non hazardous and generally safe for transport. The next image shows a system of UPS12-700MRXF from the C&D Technologies MRXF Range which demonstrates the accessibility of the terminals which are situated directly behind the clip on covers.

 

Application of Front Terminal Battery
 

 

1

Automotive (starting batteries)
Front terminal battery are extensively used in the automotive industry, primarily as starting batteries. They provide the necessary surge of power to start the engine and are designed to deliver high current for a short duration. Additionally, they power essential electrical components in vehicles, such as lights, infotainment systems, and air conditioning when the engine is off.

2

Renewable energy storage (solar and wind systems)
In renewable energy,front terminal battery are pivotal for storing energy generated from solar panels and wind turbines. They are particularly valued in off-grid solar systems for their ability to store excess energy during peak production times, which can then be used during periods without sunlight or wind.

3

Backup power (ups systems)
Uninterruptible power supply (ups) systems commonly use front terminal battery to provide emergency power during outages. These batteries ensure the continuous operation of critical equipment in settings like data centers, hospitals, and telecommunications facilities, safeguarding against data loss and operational disruptions.

4

Telecommunications
Front terminal battery serve as a reliable backup power source in telecommunications infrastructure. They ensure the uninterrupted operation of communication networks, especially in areas with unstable power supply, by providing consistent power to cell towers and other communication equipment.

 

Front Terminal Battery Components

 

Construction
The plates and containers are the most important elements in the creation of a Front Terminal Battery. Each part utilized in the construction is thoroughly described below.

 

Container
To prevent any electrolyte discharge, the top of this container is made of ebonite, lead-coated wood, glass, ceramic materials, forged plastic, or hard rubber formed of bituminous substances. Four ribs are present in the bottom half of the container, two of which are attached to the positive plate and the others to the negative plate.The prism serves as a basis for both plates in this instance and also protects them from short-circuiting. The materials used to build the container must not include any sulphuric acid, must not bend or be permeable, and must not have any pollutants that could harm the electrolyte.

 

Plate
In a Front Terminal Battery, the plates are built differently, but they are all composed of the same kind of grid, which is formed of lead and active materials. The grid is essential for determining current conductivity and for distributing equal current quantities to the active components. The active component will become looser if the distribution is unequal. This battery has two different types of plates. Both of those are made of shaped and pasted plates.

 

Separators
These are thin sheets made of porous rubber, leadwood that has been coated, and glass fiber. To provide active insulation, the separators are positioned between the plates. On one side, they are grooved, and the other edges are smooth.

 

How to Choose Front Terminal Battery
 

Compare dimensions

Our measurements are all LxWxH and are in millimetres. (Remember that our measurements are to the most extreme parts of the battery, so the height is to the top of the terminals etc.)

Compare the terminal layout

(Where the positive and negative terminals are located). For some reason many people find this a difficult concept. Remember that you are looking at the front of the battery if the terminals are closest to you (first picture). It may be mounted in the car so that when you look at it you are looking at the rear (picture 2).

Compare terminal type

There are four distinct terminal types all of which have very different properties so it is very simple to find out which you require. The standard UK type (picture 1) are easily recognised as they are extremely common. Measurements (at the base of the tapered terminal) are 17.5mm for the negative post and 19.5mm for the positive terminal. Japanese terminals (picture 2) are visibly narrower at 13.1mm for negative post and 14.7mm for the positive. Lug terminals (picture 3) are square bolt-through terminals usually fitted to pre-1996 Ford vehicles. Finally, side terminals (picture 4) are easily recognised as they are on the side of the battery!

 

Front Terminal Battery Recycling: Step by Step
 

 

1

Sorting
Front Terminal Battery differ from alkaline (household) and lithium-ion (electronics) batteries in their makeup and components. Each type of battery has its own recycling process. Lithium-ion batteries are especially dangerous and pose significant fire hazards if they are not handled properly.

 
2

Separating Components
After sorting, the lead batteries travel into a machine where rotating hammers smash them into small pieces. A screen filters out the battery acid before the metal and plastic components continue down the line, where they are submerged in a holding tank filled with water. The lead and other metal pieces sink and the plastic floats to the top. The plastic is skimmed and separated leaving three distinct components: battery acid, metal and plastic. Every part of the battery can be recycled.

 
3

Back to the Start
Recycled plastic pellets and lead can be remelted to create new car batteries, starting the cycle from the beginning. A single lead bar has enough lead to make up to three new batteries.

 

 

How to Maintain Front Terminal Battery
 
 

Regular Inspection
Perform regular visual inspections for any signs of damage or wear. Look for cracks, acid leaks, or corrosion on the terminals. Also, check that the cables and connections are firm and free of wear. A detailed inspection helps identify problems before they become major failures.

 

Cleaning
Keep battery terminals clean and free of corrosion. Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean the terminals and be sure to dry them completely before reconnecting. Corrosion on the terminals can cause additional resistance and reduce battery efficiency. To prevent future corrosion buildup, apply a thin coat of dielectric grease to the terminals after cleaning.

 

Electrolyte Levels
For conventional batteries, check the electrolyte levels regularly and top up with distilled water if necessary. Do not use tap water as it may contain minerals that damage the battery. The electrolyte level should always be above the internal plates but not too high. Use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte, which can indicate the state of charge of the battery and detect possible internal problems.

 

Correct Load
Charge the batteries using a suitable charger. Avoid overcharging and make sure the battery is fully charged before use. Use a smart charger if possible. Overcharging can cause evaporation of water from the electrolyte, while undercharging can lead to sulfation. A smart charger automatically adjusts the charging rate and prevents these problems, ensuring a complete and safe charge.

 

Equalization
For conventional lead-acid batteries, perform a periodic equalization charge. This is a controlled overcharging process that mixes the electrolyte and balances the individual battery cells, helping to prevent stratification and sulfation. Consult the manufacturer's specifications for the proper frequency and procedure for equalization charging.

 

Ventilation
Ensure good ventilation in the area where the batteries are located, especially during charging. Lead-acid batteries can release hydrogen and oxygen gases, which are flammable. A well-ventilated area reduces the risk of gas buildup and possible explosions.

FAQ

 

Q: What is a front terminal battery?

A: A front terminal battery, also known as a "narrow" battery, is specifically a 12V battery fitted to a 19-inch or 23-inch cabinet, with the pole and front terminals located on the upper side of the short front side in the same direction as the battery, which is nearly 19 inches or 23 inches wide in shape.

Q: Which terminal to remove to save battery?

A: Negative terminal
Let's cut to the chase: Which battery terminal do you disconnect first? Disconnect the black, negative terminal first. Then disconnect the red, positive terminal. Also wrap the red terminal with a cloth or cover it with a plastic cup to make sure it doesn't touch the battery or any metal in the engine on accident.Red is positive and black is negative. Always connect the red/positive terminal connector first, and just the opposite whenever you're disconnecting the battery.

Q: What happens if you connect battery terminals in the wrong order?

A: The Consequences of Connecting Car Batteries Backwards.The devices that can be immediately damaged include the powertrain control module (PCM), several fuses and relays, and wiring that isn't rated to handle high-voltage circuits. The alternator and some sensors can also get damaged.

Q: Which battery terminal to disconnect when storing?

A: Negative cable
Is it safe to disconnect the car battery for storage? Yes! Disconnecting the negative cable first and then the positive cable second is advised when storing a car battery for an extended period of time. This helps prevent unnecessary battery drain and keeps a fully charged battery in good condition for 6-12 months.

Q: Which battery terminal must be disconnected first and why?

A: It's also a great idea to position your new battery in the correct orientation, so it is ready to lift straight into the vehicle. First, remove the negative terminal followed by the positive terminal. Removing in this order reduces the risk of accidentally grounding tools.

Q: Does battery terminal matter?

A: Before diving into the specifics, let's understand why selecting the right battery terminals and lugs matter. These components play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of your vehicle or machinery. Incorrect selection can lead to poor battery performance, electrical system issues, and even safety hazards.

Q: What is the most common battery terminal?

A: This is the most common battery terminal type, and any person who has replaced a car battery can easily recognize it. In order to prevent accidently connecting the terminals in reverse polarity, the positive post is always larger diameter than the negative.

Q: Should I disconnect positive or negative storage?

A: As much as we'd like to sell you a charger or maintainer, if you simply cannot afford to buy one or don't have access to electricity where your car is parked, but really need to make sure your car battery doesn't die while it sits, the next best option is to completely disconnect your negative battery cable from the ...

Q: What happens if I disconnect the positive battery terminal first?

A: However, DO NOT disconnect the positive terminal before the negative one. Doing so can cause an electrical short. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal first.Therefore, if you connect directly to the negative battery terminal, it can damage the battery and electrical components of the vehicle.

Q: What happens if you connect a negative to negative car battery?

A: Connecting the two sets of battery terminals together wrong could cause a dead short (an electrical circuit with lots of amperage but very little resistance), cause sparking, melt your jumper cables and possibly damage the batteries and electronic systems of both vehicles.

Q: What happens if I connect negative first?

A: Connecting the negative terminal first can create a spark, which can ignite flammable vapors that may be present in the battery. This can lead to a fire or explosion. Connecting the positive terminal first is the safest way to connect a car battery.

Q: Can you ruin a battery by connecting it wrong?

A: Battery Damage: Connecting a battery incorrectly can also damage the battery itself. For rechargeable batteries, it can lead to overheating, swelling, or leakage. No Operation: In some cases, the device may simply not operate without causing any damage, especially if it has built-in reverse polarity protection.

Q: What happens if you mix up positive and negative on battery?

A: If you use cables to attach two batteries together properly, the battery with the most power will begin to charge the batter with less power. If you mix up the cables, you've effectively shorted both batteries, and they will get hot very quickly and possibly explode.

Q: Which car battery terminal should be disconnected first?

A: When disconnecting a car battery, you should always disconnect the negative terminal first. This helps prevent sparks and reduces the risk of a short circuit. After the negative terminal is disconnected, you can safely remove the positive terminal.

Q: Will my battery still drain if I disconnect the positive only?

A: If you remove the positive terminal before the negative terminal, the battery will continue to discharge. Removing the positive terminal first will cause it to touch the chassis through a spanner or wrench or some other metal tool, creating the same effect as putting both battery terminals together.

Q: Is it okay to only disconnect the negative terminal?

A: It's usually recommended to disconnect the negative terminal first when working on a vehicle's electrical system. In summary, while disconnecting the positive terminal itself typically won't damage the car, doing so while the engine is running can potentially lead to issues.

Q: What is the first thing you do before disconnecting the battery?

A: Before beginning the process of disconnecting your battery, start by turning your car off. You should never attempt to disconnect your car's battery while your car is powered on. We'd also recommend using safety equipment, like gloves and safety goggles, if you have them on hand.

Q: What kills a lead acid battery?

A: Sulfation occurs in lead-acid batteries when they are subjected to insufficient charging during normal operation, it also occurs when lead-acid batteries left unused with incomplete charge for an extended time. It impedes recharging; sulfate deposits ultimately expand, cracking the plates and destroying the battery.

Q: What is a major disadvantage of lead acid batteries?

A: The disadvantages of the lead-acid batteries are their weight, low specific energy and specific power, short cycle life, high maintenance requirements, hazards associated with lead and sulfuric acid during production and disposal, and capacity drop at low temperatures.

Q: Is it bad to fully discharge a lead acid battery?

A: Because these batteries run on chemical reactions, when conditions are not right for the reaction to occur, the batteries can become permanently damaged. For example, discharging lead-acid batteries below 50% charge will increase a chemical reaction called sulfation and damage the battery.
