Sealed lead-acid battery

Model: EP 17 - 12 EP Series
EP type batteries are made in AGM technology and are constructed by plates, separators, safety
valves and a container. Since the electrolyte is held by a glass-mat separator and plates, the
batteries can be used in any chosen position without the risk of leakage. EP type batteries have a
pressure relief valves that allows safe dispersal of any excess pressure inside the cell (VRLA). Due
to advantages as sealed construction, maintenance free, low internal resistance and long term
storage, EP batteries are the base of the emergency power supplying.
