Introduction MAXIMA – Tubular Batteries are made using extremely rugged tubular plates specially designed for deep cycle applications requiring large storage capacities. Pure GEL electrolyte makes it possible to have long plated batteries without risking gravitational settlement that is associated with maintenance type batteries. General Description MAXIMA – Tubular range of batteries are made using tubular plates instead of flat plates that gives them deep cycle feature. These heavy tubular batteries also improve performance in high temperatures, a situation that is fairly common in solar applications. These batteries offer significant development over flat plate batteries, in that they offer lower losses due to better internal resistances making them a better option for solar applications. MAXIMA – Tubular – Value for Money Maxima Tubular range of deep cycle batteries costs about 70% of AGM and about 50% of GEL batteries. This excellent price point makes them a highly sought after battery type for residential uses. With improved recombination technology built inside the batteries, the fumes that are prevalent in flat plate type of batteries are reduced in Tubular batteries, making them usable in indoor closed area applications.
