DXC battery for UPS and switchgear applications features a U-wrap separator that encircles the bottom of the positive plate while leaving the sides exposed. The wrap lengthens the cycle life of the battery by keeping sediment from building up on the bottom of the jar and creating shorts. Capacity is 5.089 kW/cell to 1.67 VPC at the 15-min rate.Yuasa, Inc., www.yuasainc.com
