Hadn't seen the spec sheet of the GS battery... thanks. It's a Carbon battery with a Carbon additive to the negative plate. Generally and this of course depends on the manufacturer when you add carbon to the neg anode (plate) it increases the cycle life, and charge acceptance of the battery. It also makes it more resistive to hardened sulfation situations.
The drawback, at least from what Rolls has found is when you do this you also increase the self discharge rate of the battery, they don't show this on their spec sheet... Rolls has been working on a carbon based battery for some time now, at least longer than I've been there... Eng, says they are still working the kinks out and finishing testing. We typically don't beta test product on customers. The draw back on that is we can be behind the new product release curve! <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> Steve Higgins ⋅ Technical Services Manager t +1.902.597.4020 m +1.206.790.5840 f +1.902.597.8447 e st...@surrette.com <#UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter_> <http://www.facebook.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.facebook.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.twitter.com/RollsBattery> <https://www.youtube.com/user/RollsBattery> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/rolls-battery-engineering> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> ------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY: The information transmitted herein is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.
