Predator Lead Carbon Gel Batteries combine lead, carbon graphene and pure gel technology.
The advantages of this technology offers the ability to charge more quickly, not as fast as lithium but around 50% quicker than lead acid or VRLA batteries
Carbon gel batteries are specifically designed for daily charging and discharging, great for PSOC (Partial State Of Charge) applications such as marine, motorhomes, vehicle conversion, energy storage, and off grid applications.
Cycle life is increases to around 2000, 3-5 x more than that of its VRLA - AGM or Lead acid counterpart.
What is Carbon Gel.?
Carbon Gel uses graphene as a key ingredient, when added to the negative plate these batteries have the advantage of both lead acid batteries and super capacitors.
The addition of carbon materials to the lead-acid chemistry in lead-carbon batteries enhances several important characteristics:
- Cycling Performance: Lead-carbon batteries typically exhibit improved cycling capabilities compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. This means they can withstand more charge and discharge cycles without significant capacity loss, making them suitable for applications requiring frequent cycling, such as renewable energy storage systems and hybrid vehicles.
- Partial State of Charge (PSOC) Tolerance: Traditional lead-acid batteries are sensitive to partial state of charge operation, which can lead to the sulphation of the battery plates and reduced performance. Lead-carbon batteries are better equipped to handle partial state of charge conditions, making them more suitable for applications where frequent partial charging and discharging occur.
- High-Rate Discharge: The addition of carbon materials can enhance the high-rate discharge capability of the battery, making it suitable for applications where sudden bursts of energy are required, such as electric vehicles and industrial equipment.
- Longer Cycle Life: The improved cycling and PSOC tolerance of lead-carbon batteries contribute to a longer overall cycle life compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
- Improved Charge Acceptance: Lead-carbon batteries generally have better charge acceptance, which means they can recharge more efficiently and effectively, reducing charging times.
- Reduced Sulphation: Sulphation is a common issue in lead-acid batteries where lead sulphate crystals form on the battery plates, reducing their capacity and performance. Carbon additives in lead-carbon batteries can help mitigate sulfation, extending the battery's operational life.
