This type of construction offers much lower internal resistance, greater starting power (particularly in cold temperatures) and a much higher degree of protection against shock and vibration than the old flooded type.

The LIFELINE series battery was designed to correct many of the defects of the earlier flooded electrolyte storage batteries. The cells are sealed with pressure relief valves that confine any gasses produced during cell operation. The gasses are then combined back into water, substantially eliminating the loss of water from the cells and need for water replenishment.

The LIFELINE series battery does not contain a gelled electrolyte. In contrast, the electrolyte is absorbed and held in place by means of a microfibrous silica glass mat, which is sandwiched between the plates. The electrolyte is still liquid and remains so for the entire battery life. Since the glass mat is only about 90% saturated with acid electrolyte, the oxygen produced during charge can readily migrate to the negative plate and recombine into water. This recombination mechanism substantially eliminates water lose, making these batteries truly non-spillable and maintenance free.

With LIFELINE you get:

· Aircraft class cell construction - Low internal resistance for high repeated engine start current & withstands shock and vibration much better than standard designs.
· Twice as many discharge / charge cycles as the leading gell battery.
· Faster recharge, no current limitations with voltage regulated recharging.
· Much better charge retention than low cost flooded cell types.
· Full recharge after 30 days storage in a full discharge condition (77 deg. F rating).
· Less than 3% per month self discharge at 77 deg. F (25 deg. C); less at lower temperatures.
· Sealed construction with absorbed electrolyte - no shipment restrictions, submersible without damage; install in any position; no need for watering.
· Cell safety vent valves - pressure regulated, non-removable.
· Rugged, non-marring polypropylene (copolymer) case / cover.
· Safety- even during severe overcharge the LIFELINE AGM battery produces less than 2% hydrogen gas (4.1% is required for flammability in air).
