MIXTECH EFB High Power Along with the highest combined CCA and RC of any flooded battery in its class, Discover’s commercial EFB High Power batteries for bus and transit combine the latest high-cycle plate design, extreme vibration resistance and patented MIXTECH acid mixing technology to deliver significant improvement in dynamic charge acceptance and micro-cycle life in Start-Stop and Anti-Idle vehicle batteries that are constantly exposed to Partial State of Charge use.
MIXTECH EGM High Cycle Commercial EGM High Cycle batteries for bus and transit use combine MIXTECH acid mixing technology with deep-cycle enhanced flooded battery breakthroughs and the high-performance and vibration resistance of AGM batteries to produce a far superior flooded high-cycle Enhanced Glass Mat (EGM) battery with improved dynamic charge acceptance in partial State of Charge use, and without the same dry-out and thermal runaway risks associated with AGM batteries.
DRY CELL AGM With exceptional dual-purpose, starting and deep-cycle performance, DRY CELL AGM Rail/Transit batteries are tolerant of a wide ambient temperature range and Partial State of Charge (PSOC) operation. DRY CELL AGM batteries offer the independently tested and verified performance and safety features demanded by rail and transit authorities around the world.
MIXTECH EFB Commercial High Power Batteries
Discover MIXTECH EFB Commercial batteries incorporate 360° acid mixing technology with the latest Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) breakthroughs in lead alloys and unique carbon additives to improve dynamic charge acceptance and micro-cycle life significantly. MIXTECH EFB batteries possess the world’s highest reserve capacity and cold cranking power in flooded battery technology, with built-in acid stratification countermeasures.
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.
