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.

Frequently asked questions

Use our database below to find the answer for any product related questions.

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

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.
