Crystal Batteries consists of a number of unique special features including: a micro porous super absorbent matt (SAM), thick plates cast from high purity lead calcium selenium alloy (which ensures an extended life), and a SiO2 based electrolyte solution. During the charge / discharge cycles the electrolyte solidifies and forms a white crystalline powder. This eventually results in a safer, high performing and environmentally friendlier battery. Crystal Batteries can be used as a substitute for most battery technologies in the lead category, such as lead acid, lead gel and AGM.
