The Ultimate Power Source for military vehicles & equipmentSPIRALCELL Diagram

Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries that use stacks of thick lead plates suspended in a reservoir of acid, Optima® batteries feature two long pure lead-tin plates wound into a tight spiral, separated by an Absorbent Glass-Mat (AGM).

The sponge-like AGM holds the electrolyte in place between the plates. The SPIRALCELL® design eliminates plate-to-plate movement and shedding of the active lead past material, a common cause of battery failure.  Remember, Optima batteries are an AGM design NOT GEL!
