MIXTECH EMX Commercial Starting MIXTECH EMX starting batteries for bus and transit applications combine patented MIXTECH technology with enhanced grid, active material and vibration resistance technologies to produce a superior battery that uses the natural movement of the vehicle to keep the acid in constant circulation to defeat the #1 cause of premature performance loss and battery failure: acid stratification.
MIXTECH EMX Commercial ECL Hybrid MIXTECH ECL extended cycle hybrid starting batteries for bus and transit applications combine micro-cycle plate design with extreme vibration enhancements, and patented MIXTECH acid mixing technology to produce a far superior starting battery with countermeasures against the #1 cause of premature performance loss and battery failure: acid stratification.
Discover MIXTECH EMX Premium Flooded Batteries with MIXTECH Technology
MIXTECH EMX Premium Flooded technlogy prevents acid buildup from killing your batteries and extends their micro-cycle life by up to 2x.
The #1 killer of batteries is acid stratification.
That's bad. We fixed that.
Traditional Batteries
Acid stratification happens when the heavier acid separates from the water in the battery's electrolyte and settles at the bottom of the battery, causing excess corrosion and charge imbalance.
MIXTECH Batteries
Incorporate patented MIXTECH technology that uses the motion of your vehicle to continuously mix the electrolyte preventing acid stratification.

What Our Partners Are Saying
We have been working with Discover for several years and found their product to be of the highest quality. The sales team has also been a great asset, and having them as a partner has improved our business greatly.
Empire Batteries, Inc.
Great quality! We are very satisfied with the MIXTECH batteries for our automotive fleet.
Solar-Log Germany
I have been using Discover batteries on my sport fisher for 20 years. Our usage is extreme, and Discover lives up to its specifications giving us more amps to power our extensive demand. It is the only battery I have ever recommended. I never worry with Discover; it gives me great peace of mind.
Discover batteries perform better than any other battery I have used in 47 years as a yacht management company in Newport Beach, California. We have maintained, serviced and replaced thousands of batteries, and Discover has been the easiest to work with.
Marine Services
Discover has been and continues to be a valuable source of high-quality automotive and fleet truck batteries. In addition to their batteries, their quality of service is second to none. Discover has worked with us in every facet of our business to help in whatever way it can.
EcoVolt Power Corporation
Blown away by the quality! I upgraded to the Discover lithium-ion battery. WOW what a difference! I went from 183 lbs of lead to just 26.4 lbs, and cut my recharging time from 8 hours to just over an hour!
We do a tremendous amount of business with Discover and plan to do more. They are a true partner. They are always proactive in new product technologies and offer an excellent product portfolio - both competitive and value add features.
Continental Battery Systems
I have a high degree of respect for the Discover team and would highly recommend them as a supplier to any organization.
