APPLICATION OF MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERY DESIGN TO FARM, CONSTRUCTION, AND INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY

A modern lead-calcium battery design (sometimes refereed to as "maintenance-free") offering significant advantages in vehicle design, manufacturing and usage, has been introduced and widely accepted for many types of vehicles. It offers excellent storage properties and resistance to vibration and shock, requries no owner attention or service during its useful plate life, eliminates battery acid attack on terminals or battery retainer, significantly reduces routine service costs. New concepts, materials and technology used in this design are explained and the benefits for farm, construction and industrial machinery application are considered. /GMRL/
