Exide Technologies has launched a
range of monobloc batteries featuring
spiral wound AGM technologies. The
drysafe RECUP (recuperation)
batteries require no maintenance
(including topping up) as electrolyte
is suspended in an Absorbed Glass
Mat. They offer high power
performance (such as large power
draws over short durations) and are
suitable for fast and/or opportunity
charging as they accept a high charge.

Applications include: electric
pallet trucks, automated guided
vehicles, hybrid and electric cars, and
cleaning machines.

The spiralwound
design
is an efficient
way of
liberating the
stored energy
from a lead acid
battery. The batteries are vibration
resistant, can operate in low
temperatures and have minimal
health and safety implications. They
offer 450 charging cycles.
