GORE® Catalytic Device for Lead Acid Batteries - Key features & benefits
  • Significant water loss reduction to EN 50342-1 W5 level which maintains electrolyte amounts
  • Improved DCA (Dynamic Charge Acceptance) by enabling more additives to be added
  • Extends battery life by maintaining electrolyte’s specific gravity
  • Enhances durability with broad temperature range (-30 ºC ~ +75 ºC)
  • Snap-fit mounting for easy integration
  • Potentially supports sustainability with reduced CO2 emission from battery manufacturing and recycled lead. (based on initial screening LCA)
