Tubular Battery Design


Tubular Battery indicates their name from the design of the positive plate. The negative plates are identical, i.e. flat type, in both automotive and tubular batteries. In automotive batteries both (+ve and –ve) plates are flat plates, which is pasted with a specially prepared paste active material whereas in the tubular design the +ve plate is composed of a series of parallel tubes filled with lead Oxide.
Tubular are the most reliable back up power sources. Batteries made from Tubular plates having good Electrical performance and longer shelf life.
Several research studies have recently demonstrated that adequate compression of positive active material is one of the key determinants of the life of lead acid batteries. The superior life displayed by batteries with Tubular Battery plates is related to the ability to retain the active material around each conductive spine of the tubular plate.


Ampere Hour Rating:

Battery Capacity is determined by the amount of electrical energy the battery can deliver over a period of time and is measured in Ampere hours when discharge at a uniform rate over a given period of time. Ampere hours are calculated by multiplying the current by discharge time.
