Superior Performance

The Patented MFX Grid Alloy Advantages

20 years design life in float applications. Maximum cycleability. Full recovery from 100% depth of discharge. Accepts high rate of charge. The XL Advantage

Square plate allows current to travel a shorter distance, lowering the internal resistance of the battery. Horizontal plate stacking eliminates acid stratification for greater utilization of the entire plate. Dual lugs on plates improves discharging capabilities.

Superior Reliability

Robust Design for High Temperature Environments

Horizontal plate stacking improves heat dissipation through tray. Steel face plate over cover improves heat dissipation through cover. Steel face plate eliminates the possibility of seal leaks and cover bbulge caused by accelerated grid growth. Unique "S" wrap separator design prevents positive to negative plate shorting in cases of accelerated grid growth. Reliability Leaders

High separator compression within the cell eliminates possibilityof loss of capacity due to degradation of the plate to separator contact. Reduced Need for Paralleling

Uniform charging. Fewer connections for fewer points of failure. Improves cell monitoring capabilities.

Absolyte XL - The Best Gets Even Better

GNB is pleased to announce the newest member of the Absolyte family -- the Absolyte XL*. Starting from a blank page, the Absolyte XL development team had two objectives: 1) design 2000 and 3000 Ampere-hour cells, 2) make the cells with the highest reliability in the industry. Compare the Absolyte XL with other lead-acid batteries.

Highest Capacity

The only single cell VRLA-AGM battery available with up to 3,000 amp-hours.
