OPzV Battery have gelled electrolytes and tubular positive plates, which work together to deliver superior cycle count. The main advantage of these batteries and all other types of lead-acid is that OPzV technology utilizes a very high design life of 20 years. This is thanks to the unique battery construction, which is enhanced with a positive tubular plate and a higher lead density. Other lead-acid batteries are designed with flat plates, which deliver a good cycle count, but not nearly close to the cycle counts offered by tubular gel cells. This makes them ideal for applications requiring reliable batteries that deliver many years of maintenance-free and headache-free operations. Some of these battery applications include solar energy, telecom towers, reserve power, radio stations, power stations and commercial size UPS projects. These projects normally require a battery with a top terminal design, which is why we made that our standard. However, Canbat also offers the option of a front terminal design, which is more suitable for power cabinets. Regardless of which battery design you use, the technology and inner construction of the battery will be very similar. Below you will find a table with detailed information about how OPzV batteries are constructed
