Manufacturer Information
Manufacturer - Lifeline
Designed and built to rigorous US military standards, Lifeline is a superior AGM battery in every measure: Safety, Reliability, Service Life and above all - Performance. Manufactured without compromise, Lifeline batteries are aimed at the premium end of the Marine, Caravan and Motorhome markets. Ultra low internal resistance is a defining feature of the Lifeline range which combines with industry leading charge efficiency to provide dramatically shorter recharge time. Current on recharge is also unlimited, provided the voltage is regulated.
With a long lifespan of up to 5000 cycles and true CCA starting ratings Lifeline batteries are suitable for all starting, deep cycle and dual purpose applications. A further major advantage of the Lifeline battery is its unparalleled vibration resistance, and it is the only off-the-shelf battery that passes the stringent vibration requirements of the US Coast Guard and Navy. Lifeline batteries are also the safest readily available in Australia with regards to explosion potential under severe overcharge. These features and attributes combine to provide the safest, longest lasting, most universal, fastest recharging and most vibration resistant battery on the market today.
LIFELINE BATTERY BENEFITS
Superior Construction
Aircraft class cell construction; lowest internal resistance that provides high repeated cranking current.
Unmatched Life-Cycles
When discharged to the BCI recommended 50%, Lifeline batteries provide nearly 1000 life cycles, which is significantly more than other technologies. Other flooded and gelled batteries fall between 300 to 450 life cycles at 50% discharges.
Rapid RechargeLifeline Batteries facilitate a significant increase in recharge rate, with amazingly high current limitations when you properly regulate the charging voltage. Customers charge 100ah batteries with 500amp chargers routinely.
Low Self Discharge
Much better charge retention rate when compared to flooded and gelled technologies. Lifeline Batteries self discharge around 2% per month vs. 10% for other batteries.
Maintenance Free
With proper charging, Lifeline Batteries require no maintenance. Lifeline Batteries do NOT accept addition of water nor do they corrode their surroundings.
Safety First
During normal charging conditions there is no dangerous gassing.
Mil-Spec
Lifeline battery construction has passed extensive military shock and vibration requirements.
Eliminate Dangerous Gassing
Lifeline provides safety even during severe overcharging as the batteries produce less than 2% hydrogen gas by volume (4.1% is required for flammability in air).
Long Service Life
Lifeline batteries currently installed in Marine and RV applications are providing a life span ranging from 5 to 8 years under routine use. Daily and intensive applications also see 3-8 years of use depending on depth of discharge.
Solid Warranty
Lifeline Batteries offers one of the best warranties in the industry with our 5-year pro-rated and a one-year free replacement.
