WHY DO ELECSOL BATTERIES OUT CYCLE FLOODED/SEALED & GEL TYPES?
All batteries are manufactured to provide a certain number of deep discharge cycles. The conventional leisure battery should give a cycling life of between 200 – 300 deep discharges. A Gel battery will give between 400 – 500 cycles and an AGM battery 600 – 800 cycles. The ELECSOL batteries will give over 1000 deep discharge cycles. Batteries fail in cycling life due to a permanent encapsulation of PbSO4 on the plates (lead sulphation). The capacity loss is more rapid with these battery types, the deeper that the battery is discharged, the quicker lead sulphation builds up. Upon recharging the battery, not all of this sulphation is converted back to lead (PB0). The result is a gradual loss of capacity. Another major reason for premature battery failure is due to the oxide shredding from the plate. Standard lead plates are bound only with acrylic and polyester fibres they do not serve as reinforcement of the plate. The cycling life of the ELECSOL battery is much greater than all other ba
