Design & Performance
Absorbed-glass-mat separators immobilize the electrolyte for spill-proof, orientation-flexible installation and superior vibration resistance. Tight plate compression and lead-calcium grids support long cycle life and stable voltage delivery, while the AGM chemistry enables fast recharge and reliable deep-discharge recovery with minimal maintenance.
