Examining Different Lead Acid Battery Types
Discover® Sealed Valve Regulated Lead Acid Batteries
Discover® Sealed Valve Regulated Lead Acid Batteries batteries:
- Can be substituted into virtually any flooded lead-acid battery application
- Excel in applications where traditional flooded batteries are prohibited
- Excel in applications where levels of service or service intervals cannot be guaranteed
- Excel in applications where the "cost to service" makes the use of flooded batteries impractical
Because of their unique features and benefits, Discover® 700 Series, Dry Cell Traction and Deep Cycle AGM batteries are particularly well suited for:
Deep Cycle, Deep Discharge Applications:
- Marine Trolling
- Electric Vehicles
- Portable Power
- Personnel Carriers
- Electronics
- Wheelchairs
- Floor Scrubbers
- Materials Handling
- Aerial Lifts
- Marine & RV House Power
- Sailboats
- Golf Cars
- Commercial deep cycle application
- Renewable Energy
- Mobile Work Vehicle Power Blocks
- DC Powered Air Conditioning
- Creature comfort units for Class 8 highway vehicles (See key-off legislation)
Discover® Deep Cycle AGM Battery
A Discover® Deep Cycle Advanced AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
- Is a Discover® Non-Hazardous battery
- Is the QUALITY choice by leading Original Equipment Manufacturers and integrators
- Is Classified as “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY” Not restricted for Air (IATA/ICAO) Provision 67, Surface (DOT-CFR-HMR49) or Water (Non-hazardous per IMDG amendment 27) transportation.
- Has thick flat plates
- Can be discharged and charged many times beyond 30%~50%
- Performs well in cyclic, starting or combination cyclic starting applications
- Is acid starved and uses ultra pure refined electrolyte
- Uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases
- Has a higher active material to acid ratio than standard SVR types
- Uses Micro fibrous silicate glass mat acid absorption
- Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never is opened. (warranty is void if opened)
- Typically uses Calcium/Calcium metal alloys
- Is maintenance-free with proper change management
- Is produced in certified ISO, QS and TUV facilities
- Is an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized component
- Have multiple advanced terminal design options
- Incorporates proprietary manufacturing techniques, additives and processes
Note: life cycles vary by battery voltage, capacity, size and operating temperatures.
Discover®700 Series Dry Cell Battery
A Discover® 700 Series Dry Cell battery is a lead-acid electric storage system that:
- Is a Discover® Clean & Green® Non-Hazardous Dry Cell battery.
- Is the ULTIMATE QUALITY choice produced with every technological advancement for the longest life performance characteristics
- Is Classified as “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY” Not restricted for Air (IATA/ICAO) Provision 67, Surface (DOT-CFR-HMR49) or Water (Non-hazardous per IMDG amendment 27) transportation.
- Uses our most robust flat and tubular plate designs with extremely high active material densities per amp hour of usable power for extended cycle life.
- Computer-generated grid designs to optimize high power density.
- Incorporates advanced plate pasting and curing procedures.
- Use tank formation processes.
- Has heavier duty plate straps.
- Can be discharged and charged completely many times.
- Is severely acid starved and uses ultra pure refined electrolyte.
- Uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases.
- Is non-spill able, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position.
- Has an extremely high active material to acid ratio.
- Discover® 700 Series GEL Cell batteries contain ultra-premium poly, ribbed glass-mat, dual-insulating separators which will not break down in service. The glass mat embeds itself into the plate, which retards life-shortening shedding.
- Discover® 700 Series AGM Dry Cell batteries contain glass separators at the ideal compression and ideal saturation to achieve the best balance between capacity utilization and recombination efficiency. The dual insulating separators also help to prevent separator misalignment and treeing or shorting at the bottom and sides of the plates. The glass embeds itself into the plate, which retards shedding.
- 700 Series AGM Dry Cell types use Micro fibrous silicate glass mat acid absorption.
- 700 Series GEL Cell types uses electrolyte that is transformed into a gelled consistency.
- Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never is opened. (warranty is void if opened)
- Typically uses Calcium/Calcium high tin metal alloys.
- Is maintenance-free with proper change management.
- Is produced in certified ISO, QS and TUV facilities.
- Is an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized component.
- Have multiple advanced terminal design options.
- Incorporates proprietary manufacturing techniques, additives and processes.
Note: life cycles vary by battery voltage, capacity, size and operating temperatures.
Discover® EV Traction Dry Cell Battery
A Discover® EV Traction Dry Cell battery is a lead-acid electric storage system that:
