Redefining RE Systems

The superior design elements of Discover Energy Advanced Tubular Plate batteries deliver proven reliability 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
