batteries energy storage systems will signicantly
outlast lead acid batteries and dramatically reduce your customer’s energy
storage costs over the life of their system.
Value Proposition
You can tell a lot about a company by how it denes success or failure. Lead acid manufacturers (including
Discover) have conditioned you to look at “Temperature vs. Cycle Life” or “Cycle Life vs. Depth of Discharge
(DOD)” graphs to indicate expected life or, more accurately, their remaining time to failure, and to overlook
the “big elephant in the room”, which is that lead acid batteries start to lose their original capacity nearly the
moment they are put into service and that the total available capacity in cycle 500 will be much less than the
total available capacity in cycle 10.
The industry aggressively contends that “life cycles” are the measure of a batteries quality versus the
competition and its suitableness for energy storage use. A successful high quality lead acid battery bank will
maintain its ability to deliver its original published capacity for 500 cycles (less than 18 months of daily cycling)
only if the batteries are kept cool, not deeply discharged, recharged completely every cycle and watered
regularly (ooded cells). In the real world, cycle counting is neither veriable nor reective of the real function
of a battery bank, which is, storing energy.

cycle life technology can be continuously operated in a partial State
of Charge (SOC), or alternatively discharged and charged to 100% of its rated capacity without consequence.

batteries will provide >90% of original energy storage capacity for a minimum of 10x that
of a high quality lead acid bank.

batteries are warranted by a 10 year, unlimited cycle, 38 MWh total energy throughput
warranty providing condence that Discover’s batteries will provide your customers with the long term, reliable
energy storage they are paying for.
Take it from a company that has been designing, manufacturing, distributing and installing lead acid batteries
since 1949: Your customers can’t afford lead.
