Are Cyclon batteries nonspillable?

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has classified all CYCLON batteries as “nonspillable wet electric storage batteries.” Having been tested and found in compliance with section 173.159 (d) of the 49 CFR, subchapter 173.159, CYCLON batteries are exempt and unregulated regarding shipping requirements of DOT 173.159. As a result,

Are Cyclon batteries regulated?

Having been tested and found in compliance with section 173.159 (d) of the 49 CFR, subchapter 173.159, CYCLON batteries are exempt and unregulated regarding shipping requirements of DOT 173.159. As a result, CYCLON® batteries do not have an assigned UN number, nor do they require additional DOT hazard-communication labeling or placarding.

How long do Cyclon batteries last?

CYCLON® batteries can be recharged in under an hour, and boasts a design life of ten years for single cell products and up to eight years for monobloc products. CYCLON® batteries perform remarkably well in extreme applications and temperatures (up to twice the capacity at –20°C) – and are safe enough for installations in offices or hospitals.

Why do Cyclon batteries have a thin plate construction?

The thin plate construction of CYCLON batteries contribute to high utilization of the active plate materials and very low internal impedance. This means that the cells can be discharged at high rates, allowing the use of smaller batteries for short duration, high rate discharges.

Do Cyclon batteries pass ISTA testing?

All CYCLON battery packages must be capable of passing International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) Procedure 1A testing. Packages weighing no more than 20 lbs. must be packaged in a minimum 200 lb. burst strength or 32 ECT certified carton.

Can Cyclon batteries be used in parallel?

All CYCLON battery single cells can be used in parallel for additional capacity. The individual cell construction allows the battery to be laid out inside a battery cavity in an almost infinite variety of patterns, maximizing space utilization.
