 Unlike traditional lead acid batteries that use stacks of thick lead plates suspended in a reservoir of acid, OPTIMA® batteries feature two long pure lead-tin plates wound into a tight spiral, separated by an absorbent glass-mat (AGM). The sponge-like AGM holds the electrolyte in place between the plates.
The SPIRALCELL® design eliminates plate-to-plate movement and shedding of the active lead past material, a common cause of battery failure.

Optima SPIRALCELL® TECHNOLOGY benefits:
2 to 4 times longer life 3 to 4 times longer storage time (shelf life) No corrosion to terminals, cables, & battery trays. Zero maintenance, sealed design eliminates water loss Fifteen times more vibration resistant Highest power density (more power per pound) Greatly reduces risk of a battery explosion Can be recharged rapidly Nonspillable- can be mounted in any orientation. Air shippable Flat discharge profile (Higher average voltage during discharge provides longer run time over a larger portion of battery capacity)
