OPTIMA Technology and why it makes a better battery: |
|
| Optima Batteries are produced by the originators of wound batteries. Optima SpiralCell Technology® represents a radical rethink in lead-acid battery design. The pure lead plates of an Optima battery are wound into a spiral, producing tight compact cells. Electrolyte is bound into fiberglass floss separating the plates, giving rise to an extremely low internal resistance. It is this unique construction, which enables Optima batteries to replace and outperform much larger conventional flat-plate products. | |
| Completely
sealed: The electrolyte in an Optima battery is completely absorbed.
It cannot leak even if the case is cracked open. This means that an Optima
battery is safer for employees, equipment and the environment. An Optima
battery will not corrode battery terminals, cables or vehicle parts. 100% Maintenance-free: Thanks to recombination reactions and Optima's sealed construction you never need to add water. Longer shelf life: With a low rate of self discharge the Optima can go unused for over a year without recharging and yet still retain a high performance. This makes it ideal for seasonally used machinery. Battery life: In performance tests the Optima battery lasted between two and three times longer than conventional flat plate technology. In accordance with the SAE J240 starting test, a massive, 12 000 starts were achieved using Optima SpiralCell Technology®. |

1. Self-sealing safety valves
with flame-proofing. 2. Corrosion-proof poles. 3. Solid moulded connections. 4. Tightly wound cell with a short distance between plates (gives a large active lead surface). 5. The battery is encased and die-cast in impact-resistant, weather-resistant plastic, which is hermetically weld-attached to the cover. 6. Lead plates of a high level of purity. 7. Minimal electrolyte absorbed in microporous fibre-glass separators. |
