East Penn launches Ultimate battery
East Penn Manufacturing Co.
East Penn Manufacturing Co. has introduced the Deka “Ultimate” battery, which the company says includes a patented silver lead alloy that maximizes life expectancy under extreme service conditions and high under-hood temperature environments.
The battery also utilizes ultra-pure electrolyte and an added electrolyte reservoir to retard plate dry-out for longer, maintenance-free life. Special plate paste improves reactivity ith the electrolyte to provide more power-per-pound.
The specially designed, reinforced “full-frame grids” prolong battery life with twice the wire diameter of normal grids, the company says. Negative envelope separators reduce internal short circuits caused by plate shedding and growth.
The Deka battery is available in six BCI group sizes; 25, 35, 34/78, 58, 65, 75 Dual Terminal, and 78, with up to 790 cold cranking amps at 0°F.
