Application

A battery's construction and chemistry therefore dictates what application it is better suited for. Both from the standpoint of performance and maintenance requirements. These applications will range from pure starting to pure cycling or deep cycling, but many applications have needs somewhere in between. This document covers both Sealed and Flooded batteries. Discover™ Sealed Lead Acid batteries can be substituted in virtually any Flooded lead-acid battery application (in conjunction with well-regulated charging), as well as excel in applications where traditional flooded batteries cannot be used. Because of their unique features and benefits, Discover™ batteries are particularly well suited for;

Deep Cycle, Deep Discharge Applications

    * Marine Trolling
    * Electric Vehicles
    * Portable Power
