Rugged Design Built Tough Reliable Starting

Positive and Negative plates are anchored to container bottom and locked at
the top of cell element for maximum vibration resistance.
Heavy-duty forged terminal post bushings provide maximum strength and
resistance to acid seepage.
Hefty full-frame grids, no sharp edges, optimum acid/paste combination
provides better charge acceptance after deep discharge.
Manifold vented cover with built-in Flame Arrestora safety feature that
directs corrosive gases away from the battery and hold-downs.
Thick, robust container resists rugged treatment typical of heavy-duty
commercial use. Embossed part number & descriptors for easy
serviceability.

Robust Components = Long Life + Reliable Starts

Heavy-duty forged terminal post bushings provide maximum strength and resistance to acid seepage that causes corrosion
and black posts. Thicker internal terminal posts provide lower electrical resistance and higher cold cranking amp output.
Rugged microporous polyethylene envelope separators protect against shorts and vibration damage. Deep Cycle
batteries utilize double insulated Glass mat separators for longer cycling life.
Maintenance Free batteries utilize calcium lead alloy on both positive and negative plates that reduces gassing and water
consumption. Automotive batteries have Silver (Ag) Calcium Alloy Grids for resistance to high underhood temperatures.
Heavy-duty, full frame battery grids with no sharp edges. An optimum acid/paste combination provides better charge
acceptance after a deep discharge.
Positive and Negative plates are anchored to the container bottom and the cell element is locked at the top for maximum
vibration resistance. Straps are thicker, heavier and cast (not welded) into the plates.
Manifold vented cover with built-in Flame Arrestora safety feature that directs corrosive gases away from the battery
and hold-downs.
Robust reinforced case provides extra strength in all temperature extremes. Brickwork design on sides reduces chance of
punctures and case flexing. Embossed part number and descriptors for easy serviceability.
