Abstract
Sealed, spirally wound construction utilizing pure lead plates offers significant advantages in lead-acid cell life, safety and discharge characteristics. A starved electrolyte condition and 100% efficient oxygen recombination effectively eliminates water loss for long, maintenance-free float life. Totally absorbed electrolyte and minimal gas venting offer total positional flexibility and improved safety. In close proximity, thin plates of large geometric surface area provide excellent voltage regulation and high discharge current capabilities over a wide temperature range.
