Discover DRY CELL 12v 230Ah Traction Industrial Deep Cycle Battery for Inverters, Solar, Leisure, and UPS Applications
Discover® EV185A-A 12V 230AH AGM Battery
The Discover® EV185A-A 12V 230AH AGM battery is a high-performance deep cycle battery that is designed for demanding traction and industrial applications. It outperforms traditional flooded, AGM, and gel deep-cycle batteries in terms of runtime, operating current, and resistance to deep discharge.
The battery features a number of innovative technologies that make it the best choice for demanding applications. These include:
- Hydro polymer electrolytes: These electrolytes resist dry-out and prevent thermal runaway, ensuring that the battery maintains its performance characteristics over its entire lifespan.
- Enhanced alloys: The thick plates with graphite enhanced alloys deliver maximum runtime over the battery's lifespan.
- Carbon boost: Carbon additives increase duty cycle performance, charge acceptance, and partial state of charge operation.
- Automated through-the-partition weld: This process improves intercell weld consistency and reduces lead waste, while also supporting higher current loads and lowering internal resistance.
- Polypropylene case: This case is highly heat resistant and durable, and it features high precision pressure relief valves that reduce water loss and extend battery life. Integrated flame arrestors also prevent fire and explosion.
The EV185A-A 12V 230AH AGM battery offers a number of benefits over traditional deep cycle batteries, including:
- Enhanced runtime: The battery has a high amp hour capacity and delivers 80% DoD above 1.9 VPC.
- Extended service life: The battery has a long lifespan that is superior to deep-cycle FLA, AGM, and gel batteries. It can withstand 550+ cycles at 70% DoD and 350+ cycles at 100% DoD.
- Resilience: The battery can withstand partial stage of charge operation, intense duty cycling, overcharge, and over-discharge better than AGM batteries. It is also compatible with AGM/Gel semi-traction charge profiles.
- Extreme temperatures: The battery can withstand high temperatures better than AGM batteries and can operate in low temperatures better than FLA, AGM, and gel batteries.
- Extreme vibration resistance: The battery has better vibration resistance than AGM/Gel batteries and is shock tested to IEC 61373, DIN EN 61373, and SAE J537 standards.
- OEM trusted: The battery exceeds OEM specifications and is backed by innovative technology and global service and support.
- Reliable and safe: The battery is a valve regulated lead-acid, dry cell AGM battery that is maintenance-free, nonspillable, and no-gassing. It is spark and explosion tested to SAE J1495 standards.
-
Certified quality: The battery is manufactured in facilities that are fully certified to ISO 9001/14001 and OSHA 18001 standards. It is designed in accordance with and published in compliance with applicable standards, including:
- IEC 60254-1. Lead-Acid Traction
- DIN 43 539. VRLA
- SAE J537. Storage
- UL, CE Health Safety Certified
- Shipping classification: The battery is classified as a nonspillable battery and is without restriction for transport by Sea (IMDG amendment 27), by Air (IATA/ICAO provision 67), and by Ground (STB, DOT-CFR-HMR49).
