Sealed Valve Regulated (SVR)
Gas Recombinant Battery
Dynacell uses the "recombination" technique to replace oxygen and hydrogen
normally lost in a wet cell (particularly in deep cycle applications).
The Dynacell battery is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in
virtually any position. However, installation upside-down is not
recommended.
How does it work?
A "recombinant" battery means that the oxygen that is normally produced on
the positive plate in all lead-acid batteries recombines with the hydrogen
given off by the negative plate. The "recombination" of hydrogen and
oxygen produces water, which replaces the moisture in the battery.
Therefore, the battery is maintenance free, as it never needs watering.
The oxygen is trapped in the cell by special pressurized sealing vents.
It travels to the negative plate through tiny fissures or cracks in the
gelled electrolyte.
The sealing vent is critical to the performance of the gel cell. The cell
must maintain a positive internal pressure. Otherwise the recombination
of the gasses will not take place, and the cell will dry out and not
perform.
In addition, the valve must safely release any excess pressure that may be
produced during overcharging. Otherwise the cell would be irreparable
damaged.
Exclusive Formula
The electrolyte is another critical element in this type of battery. Our
gelled electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, fumed silica, pure demineralized
and deionized water, and a phosphuric acid additive. The phosphuric acid
is a key reason that our batteries deliver 4 to 10 times longer cycle life
than leading gel competitors and 3 times longer cycle life than
traditional wet cells.
- Tank Formed Plates
DYNACELL distributes batteries from the only manufacturer that uses tank
formation to
activate the battery plates. This process guarantees a fully formed and
voltage matched plate. The extra handling of the plates provides an
additional inspection step in the process to verify plate quality.
- Ultrapremium, Glass Mat, Dual Insulation Separators
An ultrapremium grade separator is used in our gel cells. We
believe that this expense (which is 5 to 6 times higher then other types)
is worth the benefits of extended life and performance:
- The fiberglass mats imbed themselves into the surface of the plates,
acting like reinforced rods in concrete. This extra reinforcement locks
the active material onto the plate for longer life and extended
performance.
- The ultra-clean separators have no oil contamination or other
impurities. Therefore, resistance is low and battery performance is high.
- Excellent porosity allows maximum electron flow, which means more
power-per-pound.
- Superior resistance to oxidation dramatically reduces separator
failure, which extends life.
Charging Information
It is critical that a charge be used that limits the voltage to more more
then 14.1 volts and no less then 13.8 volts at 68oF. Batteries used in
float service should be charged at 13.8 volts. For deep cycle service, a
maximum voltage of 14.1 should be used. The charger must be temperature
corrected to prevent under or overcharging due to ambient temperature
changes.
