Batteries #5883387

Lead-acid batteries now have been around for more than 150 years. While flat plate models with a lattice grid represented a technological leap forward in 1881, tubular construction is robust technology with many advantages. With advancements such as the use of non-woven gauntlets encasing the positive spine plate, to more advanced manufacturing techniques, tubular batteries provide enhanced performance and improved reliability as compared to flat plate technology.

In Tubular Batteries the positive plates are not flat but, a row of lead-oxide cylinders or tubes strung side by side (hence the term tubular or cylindrical batteries). Tubular plates use a frame structure consisting series of vertical spines connected to a common bus bar. The tubular design keeps active material mechanically together and presses it onto the grid. The paste is held in micro-porous, non-conductive tubes (gauntlets), which are placed over the individual spines. Assembling the spines, gauntlets, lead oxide, and bottom bar together makes a positive plate. Volume changes during discharge and charge are mostly compensated by a high mass porosity. Gas bubbles help to distribute remaining free particles in the cell. Pressing the PbO2 corrosion layer onto the grid surface helps to protect the lead grid against further corrosion.Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries generally fall into two distinct categories; flooded (FLA) andvalve-regulated lead-acid(VRLA), with the VRLA type further subdivided into two types, Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)andGel. The reinforcement of absorbed glass mat separators helps in reducing damage caused by spilling and jolting vibrations. Further, flooded deep-cycle batteries can be divided into subcategories of Tubular-platedOpzsor flat plated. The difference generally affects the cycle life and performance of the cell.

Solar panelsabsorb the sunlight to generate electricity or heat.

A single solar module can produce limited amount of power. Most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes an array of photovoltaic modules, aninverter, abattery pack, for storage, interconnection wiring and optionally asolar trackingmechanism.

Asolar batteryis arechargeable batterythat integrates asolar cellwith battery power storage.

Solar batteryalso refers to rechargeable batteries developed specifically for use in photovoltaic systems. They are used especially in stand-alone systems for storage of energy produced by solar panels and battery storage, the electricity energy generated by the solar panels.

A tubular solar battery is the most reliable and durable Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries flooded. It is best suited for solar applications.Sun Blaze flooded Solar Batteries are c10 rated deep cycle batteries specially designed for solar applications. Sun Blaze Solar batteries are manufactured with Tubular positive plates and pasted negative plates along with unique formulation of active materials to deliver high performance at extreme conditions and to last longer.

Anautomotive batteryisrechargeable batterythat supplies electrical energy tomotor vehicle. It is also known as SLI (Starting-Lighting-Ignition) battery and its main purpose is to start theengine. Power of the car is supplied by the alternator once the engine comes into the running position. Starting discharges less than 3 per cent of battery capacity. SLI batteries are designed to release high burst of current, measured inAmperes, and then they can be quickly recharged.

Power Point automotive batteries are manufactured in according to highest quality and productive standards. Pb-Ca technology with no maintenance required which distinguishes the product range, is used for both European and Asian vehicles. Hybrid and cast grid technology is used for batteries mounted on passenger cars, trucks, power generators and earth-moving machines. However, a demanding market like the automotive, expects products that keep up with the latest trends. Power Points responses are high-performance batteries, +30% starting current in any condition.
