Advanced Nano-Carbon technology allows for extended life of batteries in self-consumption applications where batteries are likely to sit at partial state of charge for long periods of time. Nano-Carbon offers all the safety and convenience of a VRLA battery with improved cycling benefits for self-consumption applications where full battery recharges aren't always possible. Nano-Carbon improves charge efficiency, increases conductivity and adds additional capacitance to the battery. Overall this leads to improved deep discharge recovery ideal for systems where full recharges aren't possible on a daily basis.
