Discover the Tubular Revolution

The superior design elements of Discover Energy Advanced Tubular Plate batteries deliver proven reliability
ENERGY CORP.
in renewable energy applications and remote, high temperature or unstable power network installations.

Design features include, tubular grids and multi-tube gauntlets that encapsulate the positive plate
active material resulting in cyclic stability, longer life and higher capacity than flat plate batteries.

• Up to 20% more electrical capacity than flat plate batteries of comparable size and weight using
the same electrolyte volume and specific gravities.

• Up to 30% longer service life than flat plate batteries due to less positive plate shedding and
reduced short circuits.

• Up to 50% savings in total cost of ownership over high quality flat plate battery options.
