Regal Electro Endurogel battery series

The power-charge Endurogel series is said to deliver a full life at 30°C. It includes a Catalyst life extender in the head space of the Endurox-Cel (AGM) and Endurogel VRLA batteries resulting in longer operational life while low maintenance and inherent safety features are retained.

In normal operation, hydrogen and oxygen gases build up in the head space of a cell (between the plates and the cap). Oxygen reacts with the plates while hydrogen, which has the smaller molecule, is released out of the battery. Effectively this water loss in time causes ‘dry out’ and is accelerated at higher temperatures.

The Catalyst facilitates the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen and returns them to the cell as water. The benefits of this include lower float current requirements, less oxidation, lower thermal generation and longer life.
