DuraLife®
DuraLife® is a new, high performance polyethylene battery separator specially designed for starting, lighting and ignition (SLI) lead-acid batteries. DuraLife’s patented design significantly improves battery performance, improves efficiency and yield during battery assembly, and reduces puncture shorts.
Features:
- Excellent for high under hood temperature applications
- Oxidation resistance is improved by 40%
- Leachable organic carbons are reduced by 50%
- Electrical resistance is 10% lower than comparable polyethylene separators
- Patented negative cross-rib design increases separator strength
- Available in a wide range of automotive profiles and sizes
- Approved for use in aftermarket and OEM battery applications
Benefits:
- Extends battery life by up to 25%
- Battery water loss reduced by over 40% for antimony alloys and over 20% for non-antimony alloys
- Improved enveloper runnability; rejects reduced by up to 60%
- Envelope punctures are reduced by more than 50% when used with expanded metal grids
