Optima Red Top Batteries

Optima's unique anatomy is built on SpiralCell Technology. Instead of flat plates used in ordinary batteries, Optima uses two thin lead plates wound into a spiral cell with a glass-mat between to contain the acid. The technique of winding the cells, which are linked with solid connections, gives maximum performance with a minimum of size and weight. This makes the battery compact, robust and easy to handle and mount. (Maximum durability) The elecrolyte solution is contained in a sealed system, surrounded by a durable and weather resistant plastic, and completely welded together. Neither bumps, collisions, nor sudden temperature changes can interrupt power supply or allow the battery to leak. (Considerably longer life span) The thin lead plates give more lead surface area than traditional lead/acid batteries. The design minimizes resistance and gives even pressure over the entire lead surface, providing fast energy and an extra long life span. In the same way Optima can deliver power quickly, Optima will also recieve power quickly allowing faster recharging than regular batteries. In a traditional flooded battery heat causes increased acid density due to gassing and water loss which shortens battery life. With Optima,s AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) construction and recombination technology, gasses are recombined back into the electrolyte and not lost. (Maintenance Free) A major difference from ordinary batteries is that Optima batteries are maintenance free due to the fully sealed system and no flowing electrolyte. Terminals are also corrosion resistant.(Easy mounting) The sealed system allows the battery to be permanently mounted in almost any angle, making it ideal for installation in any available spaces.(Maximum starting power) The technology gives maximum and sure starting power regardless of temperature and can happily replace traditional lead acid batteries up to 3 times its size.(Very low self discharge) Optima batteries are ideal for seasonal use. The low rate of self-discharge guarantees plenty of starting power even after long periods of storage.
