The OPTIMA Car Audio Battery: Why It's The BEST Battery for Car Audio |
Optima Deep Cycle Car Audio Batteries are built to
withstand repeated deep discharging (down to 10.5 volts) without premature
failure. This makes them perfect for applications that draw batteries
down before they can be fully recharged -- uses like car audio. Car
audio is one of the toughest applications for a battery, and no other
battery in the world is up to the challenge like the OPTIMA
car audio battery.
A radically superior design makes
the OPTIMA car audio battery different from
and better than any other deep cycle battery. The structure of conventional
deep cycle batteries
thick lead plates suspended in pools of acid
requires those lead plates to provide their own structural
support. To attempt to accomplish this, the lead is diluted with inert
stiffening alloys, robbing them of performance. And despite this performance
compromise, the conventional deep cycle battery design still remains
fragile.
The
unique engineering concept of
the OPTIMA
car audio battery uses long thin layers of higher purity lead alternated
with absorbent glass fiber mesh. This technique is called "AGM"
for "Absorbed Glass Mat." Taking the high efficiency AGM technology
a step further, in the OPTIMA
car audio battery these laminated elements
are wound into tight
spiral cells and pressed into the "six pack" configuration
that makes them unique. Battery life is typically twice that of the
conventional battery. The OPTIMA
car audio battery's AGM Spiralcell technology is
the most significant advance in battery design in years.
The OPTIMA
car audio battery vents no gas in normal use, eliminating the drifting
acid fumes that normal batteries produce. This saves your underhood
components from corrosion, even on the battery posts.
The
OPTIMA car audio battery's superior
structure and components provide dramatically lower internal
resistance and far greater plate surface area, and support a thicker
layer of active paste material. This means that OPTIMA
car audio batteries can be fully recharged in about an hour, twice as
fast as conventional batteries. They can sit unused four times longer
than other batteries, losing less than half a volt in over 6 months
of nonuse. The OPTIMA
car audio battery also has a much higher peak discharge rate
when your application calls for a lot of current instantly, OPTIMA
gives it to you right now,
to a degree no other battery can match. That means
your music
doesn't get clipped, because your amp gets the power it asks for, faster
than any other battery can deliver. And the Optima's exceptionally even
voltage curve helps eliminate sound distortion.
OPTIMA'S
SPIRALCELL battery technology
resists jarring and vibration and eliminates plate shedding. The OPTIMA
car audio battery survives the continuous SAE 5G Battery Vibration Test
for an average of 1450 hours, while the traditional flooded flat plate
design fails after only 100 hours, making the OPTIMA
over
14 times more resistant to vibration. OPTIMA
car audio batteries can absorb tremendous shocks without failure.
"I
just purchased an Optima battery last week and it has made a
huge difference in my sound system. I found that the voltage
did not fluctuate as severely when playing very dynamic music.
I also noticed that my headlights do not dim at all when the
bass hits hard. But the most important difference was in the
improvement in sound quality. I should have bought this battery
as soon as I put my system in." -- Nick
