MK Gel-cell solar batteries
NON-SPILLABLE by DOT (Department of Transportation) ICAO (International Commercial Airline Organization) and IATA (International Airline Transport Association) definitions

EXCLUSIVE GELLED ELECTROLYTE FORMULAsolar power MK Gel Cell batteries

Gelled electrolyte won’t spill, even if the battery is tipped upside down or cracked open. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about messy acid spills or corrosion around the battery or sensitive equipment.

EXCLUSIVE COMPUTERIZED GEL MIXING

Proper gel mixing is absolutely critical to battery life and performance. Inconsistent mixing means inconsistent life and performance. Sophisticated computer controls and a unique temperature-controlled process assures superior gel consistency.

EXCLUSIVE MULTI-STAGE FILLING

Other manufacturers fill their gel batteries in a single step process using vibration to attempt to drive out air pockets. This system leaves voids and forms dead spots on the battery plates, reducing performance. The MK batteries are manufactured using a multi-stage vacuum process which completely eliminates these power robbing dead spots by vacuuming each cell several times. This multi-step process assures peak performance of the battery plates.

EXCLUSIVE TANK FORMED PLATES

The power producing battery plates are charged or ‘formed’ outside of the battery in an exclusive and unique tank formation process. This slower and more expensive process allows inspections of every plate after charging to be certain it is of the highest quality and completely formed before they are used in the battery. Others do not take this extra step and do not have this extra opportunity to assure that only the highest quality plates are used in their batteries.

EXCLUSIVE CALCIUM/COPPER LEAD ALLOY GRIDS

The lead alloy that is used to make the MK battery actually perform better than the competition. This special lead alloy provides the benefits of lower self-discharge for better off-season storage, more power-per-pound of battery for more cranking amps and longer deep cycle running time and superior corrosion resistance for longer battery life.

EXCLUSIVE WELD SEALS

All critical intercell weld are sealed inside the battery. This feature dramatically reduces self-discharge which increases off-season storage time. This means that if you recharge your battery before storage, it will be ready to start or run when you are ready the next season.

OVER 250 QUALITY CHECKS

One of the reasons that MK batteries can make these claims is because of all of the quality control checks and balances that are performed. Every single raw material and component that goes into the MK battery is sampled or checked to assure the user that the battery is the finest made.
