What is a Discover™ Gelled electrolyte battery?

A Discover™ Gelled electrolyte battery 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.
    * Uses proprietary Calcium/Calcium metal alloys.
    * Uses ultra pure refined and gelled electrolyte.
    * Uses proprietary European separators.
    * 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.
    * Thick advanced motive power plate designs for extended cycle life.
    * Computer-generated grid designs to optimize high power density.
    * Advanced plate pasting and curing procedures.
    * Tank formed plates.
    * Heavier duty plate straps.
    * Is produced in accordance with ISO, QS and TUV requirements.
    * Uses Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognized components
    * Advanced terminal designs and options.
    * Can achieve a minimum 400 to 1000 cycles at >80% DOD using proper charging methods.
    * Can achieve a minimum 700 to 3200 cycles at >50% DOD using proper charging methods.
    * Can achieve in excess of 1500 to 4500 cycles at a 30% average DOD using proper charging methods.
