“Designed in” Quality Manufacturing

Quality manufacturing processes for the SPRINTER series batteries incorporate the

industry’s most advanced technologies including: an automated helium leak detection

system, a computer controlled “fill by weight” acid filler, and a temperature controlled

water bath formation process. A constant current discharge test is performed on each

and every unit prior to shipment.

 

• Multicell design for faster installation and reduced maintenance

• Horizontal or vertical operation

• Removable carry handles for ease of installation

They are a very good battery in the LARGE ups at work, the only thing I don't know is what the useful cycle rate is, how many times they can be discharged before they fail.

I don't know any thing about those in particular but I wouldn't put an Exide in on a bet.
