Power-Sonic Sealed Lead Acid Batteries - Technical Manual - Manual (Page 3)

Sealed/Maintenance–Free
The valve regulated spill proof construction allows
trouble-free safe operation in any position. There is no
need to add electrolyte, as gases generated during the
charge phase are recombined in a unique “oxygen cycle”.
Power-Sonic sealed lead acid batteries can be operated
in virtually any orientation without the loss of capacity or
electrolyte leakage. However, upside down operation is
not recommended.
Long Shelf Life
A low self-discharge rate, up to approximately 3% per
month, may allow storage of fully charged batteries
for up to a year, depending on storage temperatures,
before charging becomes critical. However, we strongly
recommend that all batteries should be recharged within
six months of receipt as it will enhance their long term life.
Please refer to this Technical Manual and individual
battery specification sheets for more details.
Design Flexibility
Same model batteries may be used in series and/or
parallel to obtain choice of voltage and capacity. The
same battery may be used in either cyclic or standby
applications. Over 80 models available to choose from.
Deep Discharge Recovery
Special separators, advanced plate composition and a
carefully balanced electrolyte system ensure that the
battery has the ability to recover from excessively deep
discharge.
Economical
The high watt-hour per dollar value is made possible by
the materials used in a sealed lead-acid battery; they are
readily available and low in cost.
Easy Handling
No special handling precautions or shipping containers,
surface or air, are required due to the leak-proof
construction. Please refer to the declaration of non
restricted status for D.O.T. and I.A.T.A. as listed in the
Literature section of our website: www.power-sonic.com.
Compact
Power-Sonic batteries utilize state of the art design, high
grade materials, and a carefully controlled plate-making
process to provide excellent output per cell. The high
energy density results in superior power/volume and
power/weight ratios.
Low Pressure Valve Regulators
All batteries feature a series of low pressure one-way
relief valves. These valves safely release any excessive
accumulation of gas inside the battery and then reseal.
High Discharge Rate
Low internal resistance allows discharge currents of up
to ten times the rated capacity of the battery. Relatively
small batteries may thus be specified in applications
requiring high peak currents.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Power-Sonic batteries may be discharged over a
temperature range of -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +
140°F) and charged at temperatures ranging from
-20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F).
Rugged Construction
The high impact resistant battery case is made of non-
conductive ABS plastic. The case materials impart great
resistance to shock, vibration, chemicals and heat.
Flame Retardant (FR) battery cases and lids are available
where the end application dictates.
Long Service Life
PS/PSH and PSG Series: Have a design life of up to five
years in standby applications. In cyclical applications
up to 1,000 charge/discharge cycles can be expected
depending on average depth of discharge.
PG Series: Have a design life of up to 10 years in float
applications.
