Single Cell Standard Battery Descriptions

CYCLONŽ STANDARD BATTERY DESCRIPTIONS

Cyclon cells are ideal for small ampere-hour applications up to 25Ah. The sealed-lead construction uses a starved-electrolyte system and a patented grid-alloy providing numerous advantages.

Standard batteries are offered based on combinations of Cyclon cells and are available in 2, 6 and 12 volt configurations with capacities ranging from 2.5Ah to 25Ah.

Battery Packages
Rigid plastic cases or shrink wrap packaging are available.

Rigid Plastic
Cases are available for most designs in either flame-retardant ABS Cycolac (General Electric) material, meeting UL94VO flammability rating, or Styrene (available only in 2X3 D and X battery configurations). Some cases have mounting holes. Rigid plastic cases are recommended for applications in which the battery must withstand vibration, movement or extreme weather conditions.

Shrink Wrap
Shrink wrap packaging is less expensive and smaller in size and weight. A plastic extrusion insulates the battery top and keeps the cells in line. A heavy duty shrink sleeve holds the cells firmly in place. Shrink wrap packaging is recommended for applications in which the battery remains stationary.
