Discover® DRY CELL Traction Industrial batteries outperform traditional Flooded, AGM, and Gel deep-cycle batteries in demanding traction and industrial applications. The batteries are designed to deliver a long runtime, high operating current and withstand deep discharge and are ideal for powering equipment that is used multiple times a day.

DRY CELL Traction Industrial batteries have been used and trusted for more than ten years by the world’s largest industrial Original Equipment Manufacturers. Specific charge algorithms are available that support optimal battery performance and longevity.

(Replaces 6A-B) 6A-A is the same size and purpose as Discover 6A-B

FEATURES

HYDRO POLYMER

• Organic capillary separators with hydro polymer electrolytes resist dry-out and prevent thermal runaway
• Maintains performance characteristics over operational life

ENHANCED ALLOYS

• Thick plates with graphite enhanced alloys deliver maximum runtime over operational life

CARBON BOOST
