the HIGH RATE SERIES

INTRODUCTION
The POWER HIGH RATE PRC Series of Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries have been developed and refined by POWER BATTERY since 1982. It has been the battery of choice for many of the original equipment manufacturers throughout the world. Our state of the art VRLA design utilises an absorbed glass mat (AGM) separator technology to immobilise the battery electrolyte. During the battery’s charge cycle, the cell undergoes a
series of oxygen recombination reactions that virtually eliminates water loss. There is never any need to add water to the cells and in fact all vents are factory sealed. These batteries are the ideal choice for UPS, Emergency Lighting, Switchgear and other Standby applications including Sustainable Energy Storage which need reliable, high rate power. Since these batteries are low-gassing they require no special ventilation. Additionally, a compact design makes them perfect for low maintenance and space restricted applications.
