Achieving ‘Charge Quality’ for Lead Acid Batteries in Industrial Motive Applications

Delta-Q Technologies

The battery pack is often the most expensive part of the bill of materials for an electric drive vehicle or industrial machine. The battery pack’s energy consumption, maintenance, and replacement costs are a significant driver of an end user’s total cost of ownership. How do we get the most out of something, the battery pack, that we know will eventually fail? Read more about Achieving ‘Charge Quality’ for Lead Acid Batteries in Industrial Motive Applications

Comparison Between Flat and Tubular Positive Plates in Lead-Acid Batteries

Storage Battery Systems

Lead-acid batteries 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 a more 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. Read more about Comparison Between Flat and Tubular Positive Plates in Lead-Acid Batteries
