What is the Discover™ Advanced AGM battery?

A Discover™ Advanced AGM is a lead acid electric storage battery that:

* Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
* With proper maintenance, is completely maintenance-free.
* Has its entire electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge-like mass of matted glass fibers.
* Uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
* Is non-spill able, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. However, upside-down installation is not recommended.
* Uses advanced motive power plate designs for extended cycle life
* Uses computer-generated grid designs to optimize high power density
* Uses advanced plate pasting and curing procedures
* Has tank formed plates
* Has heavier duty plate straps
* Double insulating plate separators
* Vision Max© paste formulas and processes
* Can achieve a minimum 400 to 600 cycles at 50-80% DOD using proper charging methods
* Can achieve a minimum 700 to 1000 cycles at 30-50% DOD using proper charging methods.
* Can achieve in excess of 900 to 1500 cycles at a 30% average DOD using proper charging methods.
* Can achieve in excess of 5000 cycles at a 10% average DOD using proper charging methods.

(life cycles vary by battery voltage, capacity and size)
