Square tube technology for high performance

PowerSafe ELM batteries feature the EnerSys exclusive square tube design, which enables outstanding cycling capability, long life and high energy density. The negative plates offer extremely low self-discharge rates and promote low float current. These features, along with an electrolyte reserve, deliver longevity that can exceed conventional maintenance-free Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries when used in similar railway signal applications.
