Reliable Power With Douglas Guardian Batteries
Our need for batteries continues to grow. We need them for toys, alarm systems, emergency lighting, machine operation, wheelchairs, medical equipment, telecommunications and UPS systems, just to name a few. Energy Igloo features the Douglas Guardian® 12 volt batteries to use with a power inverter. These are great batteries to use for backup electricity, during power outages, or to take with you when regular electricity isn’t available.
The valve regulated, spill-proof construction of the Guardian® line allows trouble-free safe operation in any position. These batteries use state of the art design, high-grade materials and a controlled plate manufacturing process to provide excellent capacity output per cell.
The main features of these 12 volt batteries are:
Maintenance-Free, Spill Resistant Construction - Never need to add water. Battery can be installed in any position without fear of leakage.
Longer Service Life - Heavy-duty lead calcium alloy provides longer life and an extra margin of performance.
Longer Shelf Life - A fully charged battery can be stored up to a year without recharging. (Under normal operating conditions at room temperature).
High Recovery Capacity From Deep Discharge - Special separators, advanced high density plate composition combined with balanced electrolyte have greatly improved recovery time.
No Memory Effect - Delivers full capacity when required whether used in cyclic or stand-by applications.
Wide Operating Temperatures - The Guardian Battery will operate from -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F) when fully charged.
Fold-Down Suitcase Handle - Handle may be folded in either direction for maximum fit and ease of storage.
These batteries perform well both at low and high temperatures. For maximum life, temperature compensation is recommended when the operating temperature is outside the range of 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).
The shelf life is affected by temperature. The lower the storage temperature, the longer the shelf life. A low self-discharge rate (about 3% capacity per month) permits storage of fully charged batteries for up to 1 year at room temperature before charging is required.
Recharge time depends on the current available and the depth of discharge. Recommended charge voltage is - Float Use: 2.25-2.30 Vpc, Cycle Use: 2.40-2.45 Vpc.
If you are in need of a good 12 volt battery, I would highly recommend the batteries featured on the Energy Igloo website.
