<![CDATA[The high level of power outage in Sukabumi-Cianjur area has influenced the operations of telecommunication industry in the vicinity. This has shortened the battery life at the Base Station (BTS). This study aims to analyze the performance of a (new) VRLA battery against a DC load (BTS) to support the continuity of BTS operation in case of a power outage. The research method used is a (new) battery charge-discharge procedure. Parameters are analyzed by determining the on-site battery discharge duration, the pressure at the battery terminals between cells during backup, and the capacity of the rectifier module to support fast charging. To support fast charging, the rectifier with the formula N+1 and C-rate is 10% and C15 is 15% of the battery capacity. The internal impedance value is 3.4 mΩ and the battery terminal pressure (torque) is 9-11 N/m. The battery performance analysis of the four BTS shows that two of them managed to do a backup, while the other two did not provide good performance.]]>
