Gel Monobloc Batteries with Catalyst

Valen ENDUROGEL range features a rechargeable, deep cycle, Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery. Genuine Gel technology allows this battery range to offer the cyclic benefits of the Valen Gel range.

However, the Valen ENDUROGEL battery range outshines the standard Gel battery by incorporating both advanced lead plates and the Catalyst.

High purity virgin lead plates with 1.6% tin extend the longevity of the Valen ENDUROGEL battery. The inclusion of the unique Catalyst Life Extender reduces sulphation and delamination by substantially lowering the rate of battery dry out. This innovative combination allows the Valen ENDUROGEL a design life of 12-years and is ideal for use in mission-critical cyclic applications.

What is the Catalyst Life Extender?

During the charge and discharge cycle of all lead-acid batteries, hydrogen and oxygen gasses are produced. The hydrogen escapes leaving the oxygen gas behind. This reaction causes the battery to sulphate and the plates to depolarise over time.

When a Catalyst Life Extender is installed in the headspace of a VRLA battery, it changes the electrochemical activity within the cell. This causes balance within the cell, preventing the negative plate from depolarising over time and improving cell capacity. A healthy balance in the cell will be immediately apparent by a reduction in the cell’s float current by up to 50%. What this means is:

A dramatic reduction by up to 80% in cell gassing

  • Reduced water loss delaying cell dry out
  • Reduced positive plate corrosion
  • Reduced cell heating
  • Reduced risk of thermal runaway
  • A reduction in the energy required to cool the cells/batteries
  • Can be used in temperatures of up to 30°C without the loss of life.
