Crystal Batteries are a unique technology that overcomes conventional battery problems by having a nearly solid-state electrolyte. This allows the battery to be discharged deeper, cycle more often, has a longer lifetime, and can withstand extreme temperatures.

✅ CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGY
Our unique electrolyte crystalizes on the battery plates, giving the batteries their powerful features. The patented Crystal technology uses a unique advanced formula, a new type of composite. SiO2 electrolytes were developed to completely replace traditional sulphuric acid solutions.

✅ BETTER USAGE PERFORMANCE
Charges are up to three times faster than conventional alternatives. Excellent high-current discharge.

✅ FULL RECOVERY
Crystal Batteries™ can be 100% discharged and restored to full capacity.

✅ PROVEN TRACK RECORD
Crystal Batteries™ have been successfully used in the telecom, industrial EV, and storage markets.

✅ UP TO 99% RECYCLABLE
A sustainable circular economy, less acid, no antimony or cadmium.

✅ EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Extreme temperature resistance. Operates from -40˚C to +65˚C

✅ LONG BATTERY LIFE
A float service life of up to 11 years. Up to 3,100 charge/discharge cycles at 25˚C (50% DoD).

✅ THE SAFEST
No risk of thermal runaway, spontaneous combustion, no leakage, and fewer harmful chemicals.

What is a Crystal Battery™?2022-08-30T21:27:27+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ consists of a number of unique special features including: a micro porous super absorbent matt (SAM), thick plates cast from high purity lead calcium selenium alloy (which ensures an extended life), and a SiO2 based electrolyte solution. During the charge / discharge cycles the electrolyte solidifies and forms a white crystalline powder. This eventually results in a safer, high performing and environmentally friendlier battery. Crystal Batteries™ can be used as a substitute for most battery technologies in the lead category, such as lead acid, lead gel and AGM.

In what applications can I use Crystal Batteries™?2022-08-30T21:27:06+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ are being used in a wide range of applications including, but not limited to telecoms, ups, petrochem/marine, defence, renewable energy, health care, manufacturing, transportation and electric motion (wheelchairs, golf carts & trolleys), caravan & RV, Recreational 4WD, LED Lighting, robotics and more.

What is the lifespan of Crystal batteries™?2022-08-30T21:26:48+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ have a design life of 18 years. For Cycle life check our data sheets and catalog for specific information.

What is the storage capacity of a Crystal Battery™?2022-08-30T21:26:27+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ have an extremely low self-discharge and can be stored for more than two years without any top-up charging prior to use.

At what temperatures can Crystal Batteries™ be used?2022-08-30T21:26:10+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ can operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C (-40˚F) to +65°C (149˚F). Crystal Batteries™ can even be charged below zero degrees ˚C.

Are Crystal Batteries™ safe?2022-08-30T21:25:50+00:00

Crystal Batteries™ hold less acid, no cadmium, no antimony. Crystal Batteries™ are up to 99% recyclable and are classified as non-hazardous goods for transport. Crystal Batteries™ are also extremely low gassing and produce no dangerous gases. They can also be used indoors or in confined spaces.

Do Crystal Batteries™ have a lower internal resistance than lead acid batteries?2022-08-30T21:25:31+00:00

Yes, Crystal Batteries™ have a lower internal resistance than lead acid batteries due to the difference in active material of the positive electrode.

Do Crystal Batteries™ charge faster than lead acid, lead gel or AGM batteries?2022-08-30T21:25:12+00:00

Yes, Crystal Batteries™ can be charged up to 3C (In Boost for short periods) without any impact on their cycle life. This means they can be charged 2-3 faster than other batteries. Standard charging requires 0.3C for GS, LS, FT range and 0.2C for EV Range.

Do Crystal Batteries™ sulphate?2022-08-30T21:24:52+00:00

Due to the construction and chemical reaction inside a Crystal Batteries™, sulfation hardly ever occurs. Crystal Batteries™ contain less sulphuric acid. They do not contain toxins such as cadmium or antimony either.

Can a Crystal Battery™ be discharged a 100% Depth of Discharge?2022-08-30T21:24:29+00:00

Yes, Crystal Batteries™ can be discharged in full frequently, even to 0 Volt. This makes Crystal Batteries™ extremely resilient for deep discharging. Deep discharging will reduce the cycle life.

Can Crystal Batteries™ be used partially (partial state of charge)?2022-08-30T21:24:09+00:00

Yes, Crystal Batteries™ can be partially charged i.e. you don’t have to charge them fully to be able to use them. If you operate the battery from a partial state of charge constantly it does pay to do a maintenance charge (deep discharge followed by a full charge) occasionally to get the best out of the battery.

What size Crystal Battery™ do I need for my application?2022-08-30T21:23:50+00:00

Determine how many battery amps your application needs and how long it is needed for. Multiply both values to calculate the necessary ampere-hours (Ah). Add a 20% safety margin and select a battery from our product range overview. Parallel batteries deliver greater electric currents and series-connected batteries deliver higher voltage. In both cases, the storage capacity (Wh = watt hours) increased by the amount of force each additional battery has.

How long have Crystal Batteries™ already been in circulation?2022-08-30T21:23:33+00:00
