Deep Cycle VRLA Battery Description
Stand Power DC (Deep Cycle Type) Series batteries are designed to have a large amount of stored current discharged between charging sessions, with very heavy non-porous battery plates to withstand repeated major discharging and charging cycles (deep cycles). Deep cycle batteries typically feature on thick plates with a high-density active material. Thick battery plates allow for reserve energy to be stored deep within the battery plate and released during slow discharge such as trolling or electronic instrument use. The high-density active material ensures its existence within the batteries' plate/grid structure longer, resisting the normal degradation found in cycling conditions. They are typically used where the battery is discharged to great extent and then recharged.
Deep Cycle refers to applications that typically discharge 60 to 70% or more of the battery capacity. The Stand Power Deep Cycle battery uses a different chemistry for the plates' active paste material, and a slightly stronger electrolyte than normal battery electrolyte. This chemistry allows for a much longer life in deep cycle applications with only a slight reduction in maximum power output.
