Construction

PLATES (Electrodes) - Plate construction is the key to producing a good battery. Recognizing this, POWER-SONIC utilizes the latest technology and equipment to cast grids from a lead-calcium alloy free of antimony. The small amount of calcium and tin in the grid alloy imparts strength to the plate and guarantees durability even in extensive cycle service. Lead oxide paste is added to the grid to form the electrically active material. In the charged state, the negative plate paste is pure lead and that of the positive lead oxide. Both of these are in a porous or spongy form to optimize surface area and thereby maximize capacity.

SEPARATORS: POWER-SONIC separators are made of non-woven glass fiber cloth with high heat and oxidation resistance. The material further offers superior electrolyte absorption and retaining ability, as well as excellent ion conductivity.

ELECTROLYTE Immobilized dilute sulfuric acid: H2SO4.

CONTAINER - Case material is ABS, high-impact plastic resin, styrene, or a polypropylene-polyethylene copolymer with high resistance to chemicals and flammability.

LEAKPROOF DESIGN & OPERATIONAL SAFETY - POWER-SONIC batteries have been approved for shipment by air, both by D.O.T. and I.A.T.A. U.L.'s component recognition program for emergency lighting and power batteries lists POWER-SONIC under file numbers MH14328 and MH14838.

TERMINALS - Depending on model, batteries come either with AMP Faston type terminals made of tin plated brass, post type terminals of the same composition with threaded nut and bolt hardware, or heavy duty flag terminals made of lead alloy. A special epoxy is used as sealing material surrounding the terminals.

RELIEF VALVE - In case of excessive gas pressure build-up inside the battery (usually caused by abnormal charging) the relief valve will open and relieve the pressure. The one-way valve not only ensures that no air gets into the battery where the oxygen would react with the plates causing internal discharge, but also represents an important safety device in the event of excessive overcharge. Vent release pressure is between 2-6 psi; the seal ring material is neoprene rubber.

CASE SEALING - Depending on model the case sealing is ultrasonic welded, epoxy, or heat seal
