Why choose carbon PLUS?

The benefits of lead-carbon

Lead – carbon batteries use a specialised negative electrode that incorporates carbon nanoparticles. The carbon component stores a static charge and reacts similarly to a supercapacitor, absorbing heavy currents without causing the battery to overheat. This provides faster and more efficient charging and discharging and a lower internal resistance compared to a conventional deep cycle battery.

In normal deep cycle batteries, both AGM and Gel, sulfate crystals form on the negative electrode when discharged too far and under heavy loads. This process, called sulphation, is the number one reason deep cycle batteries ‘die’. In lead – carbon batteries, sulphation is inhibited, resulting in a battery that can be safely discharged to 80% empty thousands of times, can tolerate heavy loads, and is far more tolerant of heat. Lead – carbon batteries require a lower float voltage, which means that once they are fully charged you use far less energy on standby.

In addition to the benefits of their composite negative electrode, Carbon Plus batteries use thick, high quality plates to maximise cycle life and cope with the fluctuating demands of off grid applications. Just compare the weight to other deep cycle batteries!

Their robust construction makes them the perfect low maintenance battery for an off grid system that needs to be absolutely bulletproof.
