Discover® valve-regulated Deep Cycle AGM and EV Traction Dry Cell batteries have the features and benefits that matter to your customers:
- Completely sealed valve regulated construction
- Clean & Green Non-Hazardous Deep Cycle, Traction Dry Cell batteries and Power Blocks
- Flame arresting pressure regulated safety sealing valves for safety, operating pressure management and protection against atmospheric contamination (excess oxygen being absorbed by negative plates)
- Computer-aided 99.994% pure heavy-duty lead calcium with high tin grid designs
- Discover® proprietary Paste Formulas
- Proprietary Discover® Dry Cell processes
- Discover® separators are highly porous and have extremely low electrical resistance: hold electrolyte efficiently and deliver higher capacity and run times
- Multi step Measured and Immobilized electrolyte Vacuum filling and weighing processes
- Advanced technology for efficient gas recombination of up to 99.9% and freedom from electrolyte maintenance
- Wide range of operating temperatures (-40°F~140°F) (-40°C~60°C)
- Low self discharge rates (Approx. 1%-3% monthly at 68°F~77°F) (20°C~25°C)
- High impact reinforced copolymer polypropylene or ABS cases with flat top designed covers that are rugged and vibration resistant
- Thermally welded case to cover bonds that eliminate leakage
- Copper and stainless steel alloy terminals and hardware
- Multi-terminal options with terminal protectors
- Carry handles on nearly all batteries
- Industry leading size and performance options
- 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
- Can be used in any orientation in float service (except upside down). To avoid premature loss of capacity (approx. 15%) and life, upright orientation is highly recommended for constant deep discharge applications
- Compatible with sensitive electronic equipment
- Quality Assurance processes with ISO (4400/992579), QS and TUV Certification EMC tested, CE, ETTS Germany (G4M19906-9202-E-16)
- Recognized EN, Tellcordia & Bellcore procedural and testing compliance
