Cylindrical Battery
A battery consisting of cylindrical cells with tightly wound lead plates.
In contrast, the usual lead-acid batteries consist of cells with plate sets of flat lead grids.
Through tight winding you get a large surface in a very small space, so a good starting performance. Round cell batteries use AGM technology, i.e. the electrolyte is bound in glass fibre fleece. This gives these batteries good cyclical behaviour. They are suitable as supply batteries in buses and motor homes, on boats and in solar and wind power systems in the semi-professional sector.
