Batteries "Cathode"

Rechargeable car batteries "Cathode" have certain design features that set the device apart from other batteries of this type.

First of all, the device is reliable and maximally adapted to Russian conditions. The device has a mechanical strength that it provides a plate of a highly durable polymer. Resistant not only to strong vibration, and high temperatures. Able to withstand low temperature down to -18°C.

Grid battery created by a special casting technology in order to give the battery almost any form. A result has developed a special form of the device, aimed at improving the strength of the places which are particularly subject to corrosion. The device is made without sharp corners, which further guarantees the integrity of separators. Reduces the risk of short circuit during battery operation. Improves the interaction with the active mass.

Each plate of the battery has special protection in the form of elastic envelope separators created from porous polyethylene. This feature makes the device more reliable and increases its durability. Prevents short circuit between plates of different polarity. Allows freer flowing electrolyte.Reduces the power of resistance inside the battery.

The battery Cover is equipped with Central gas connection with a labyrinth system and integrated flame trap having a filter system. This reduces the loss of battery water, and in places of installation of the apparatus is not formed corrosion caused by the vapors of the electrolyte. In addition, thanks to a labyrinth system completely eliminates the possibility of ignition of the gas mixture from external spark inside the battery case.

Battery car "Cathode" equipped with electrodes, is made from lead, which has been doped with calcium. This material has a special strength and corrosion resistance.

Battery "Cathode" equipped with a special casing covers. They are characterized not only labyrinthine system of recuperation and return of vapors of evaporation released from the electrolyte water. This feature of the instrument substantially reduces the degree of self-discharge. The natural boiling has little water flow.

The Device is safe for use. Cover from the battery has a Central gas vent and flame arrestors filters. Because of this, in those places where battery is installed "Cathode" does not occur corrosion, which is formed often the result of exposure to electrolyte vapor.

On top of that a car battery has a reasonable price, it can be purchased at almost any store sales.
