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