BATTERIES FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWERED SIGNALING DEVICES

Batteries used to back up photovoltaic power signaling devices, must operate with maximum reliability under probably the most adverse conditions ever imposed on a battery: temperature extremes, extreme vibration, being in some state of discharge most of the time, and having to supply power 365 days a year. The cycling type lead calcium battery meets all the requirements for reliability and operation with a minimum of maintenance.
