What is a Discover™ Gelled electrolyte battery?
A Discover™ Gelled electrolyte battery is a lead acid electric storage battery that:
- Is a Discover Clean & green Non-Hazardous battery.
- 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.
- 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 electrolyte that is completely transformed into a gelled consistency.
- Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never is opened. (warranty 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.
* life cycles vary by battery voltage, capacity, size and operating temperatures
*** Available amounts of usable amp hours CAN BE ADJUSTED BY AS MUCH AS 30% by adjusting the acid and active material densities. Buyers should be aware that increasing acid specific gravities andacid to active material ratios would severely reduce the batteries life cycle expectancy as well as increase the available usable power per discharge cycle. Otherwise a 75 amp hour battery can be made to deliver 100 amp hours by increasing the acid to active material ratio and the specific gravity of the acid. Both of these adjustments will severely reduce the life of the battery. Therefore, if you are quoted an unbelievable price on a 100AH battery given the current market pricing, you may now know why! Adjusting acid specific gravities and acid to active material ratios may make sense to a particular user who wishes to increase cold weather performance, but the user should again be aware that life will be negatively affected.
