We in the battery industry are proud of the fact that lead-acid batteries are the environmental success story of our time. More than 97% of all battery lead is recycled. Compared to 55% of aluminium soft drink and beer cans, 45% of newspapers, 26% of glass bottles and 26% of tyres, lead acid batteries top the list of the most highly recycled consumer products. The lead-acid battery gains its environmental edge from its closed loop cycle. The typical new lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic The recycling cycle goes on indefinitely, that means the lead and plastic in the lead-acid batteries that you use have been - and will continue to be - recycled many, many times. This makes lead acid battery disposal extremely successful from both environmental and cost perspectives. Almost all scrap metal merchants will accept used lead-acid batteries for recycling. A collection service is available at most landfills, transfer stations, service stations and automotive workshops. Many councils have regular collections or drop-off locations for hazardous waste. Visit your council pages on www.recyclingnearyou.com.au to find out about hazardous waste services in your area. THE PROCESS The battery is broken apart in a hammer mill, a machine that hammers the battery into pieces. The broken battery pieces go into a vat, where the lead and heavy materials fall to the bottom while the plastic rises to the top. At this point, the polypropylene pieces are scooped away and the liquids are drawn off, leaving the lead and heavy metals. Each of the materials goes into a different “stream.” PLASTIC The polypropylene pieces are washed, blown dry and sent to a plastic recycler where the pieces are melted together into an almost-liquid state. The molten plastic is put through an extruder that produces small plastic pellets of a uniform size. Those pellets are sold to the manufacturer of battery cases, and the process begins again. LEAD The lead grids, lead oxide and other lead parts are cleaned and then melted together in smelting furnaces. The molten lead is poured into ingot moulds. Large ingots, weighing about 2,000 pounds are called hogs. Smaller ingots, weighing 65 pounds, are called pigs. After few minutes, the impurities, otherwise known as dross, float to the top of the still- molten lead in the ingot moulds. The dross is scraped away and the ingots are left to cool. When the ingots are cool, they are removed from the moulds and sent to battery manufacturers, where they are re-melted and used in the production of new lead plates and other parts for new batteries. SULPHURIC ACID Old battery acid can be handled in two ways. The acid is neutralized with an industrial compound similar to household baking soda. This turns the acid into water. The water is treated; cleaned and tested to be sure it meets clean water standards. Then it is released into the public sewer system. Another way to treat acid is to process it and convert it to sodium sulphate, an odourless white powder that’s used in laundry detergent, glass and textile manufacturing. This takes a material that would be discarded and turns it into a useful product. 7 8 POWER-SONIC AUTOMOTIVE BATTERIES The new POWER-SONIC Automotive Series of batteries are built to withstand vibration and the harsh environments that these batteries are subjected to. They stand alone in quality and provide a supreme cycle life. There are 5 main styles of batteries and there will be one to suit your needs. These include: TYPE APPLICATION Coin Top Easily Servicable Maintenance Free/Heavy Duty Batteries Short term minimal discharge with high CCA Extra Heavy Duty In between cranking and starting built for dual purpose Marine/RV Deep Cycle Batteries Deep cycle with high CCA are the ideal choice for marine caravan applications Deep Cycle/ High Cycle Batteries Designed to be run down and charged up on a regular basis These batteries are manufactured using only the highest quality materials and technology and are supplied from one of the world’s most highly respected automotive battery factories. To view the full range and specifications for these batteries, skip to the application guide section or visit us at www.sealedperformance.com.au. MAINTENANCE FREE/HEAVY DUTY All POWER-SONIC Maintenance Free Batteries feature lead calcium expanded grids (lead calcium technology) for improved resistance to corrosion, gassing, water usage, self-discharge and thermal runaway, all of which limit battery life in conventional lead acid batteries. The range includes batteries to suit cranking/starting (traditional automotive), high cycle, dual purpose starting/deep cycle and deep cycle applications. POWER-SONIC heavy duty batteries are built to withstand all terrains and beatings. They are purposely built with extra thick plates for a greater crank and vibration resistance. They are superior in their performance for all trucks, heavy equipment and machinery. Inbuilt Hydrometer Indicates state of charge Factory Sealed Makes the batteries maintenance free Reinforced design is tailored to support the battery elements Polypropylene Case to withstand road, shock and vibration Liquid-gas Separator area Returns liquid to reservoir for longer life Integrated handle For ease of transportation and installation Flame Arrestor Safety system, prevents explosion from sparks outside the battery, minimises acid leakage and prevents inflow of dust Heat Sealed Covers Helps prevent electrolyte contamination and increased strength Centred Cast on Plate Strap Stronger than thinner gas-burned connectors Low Resistance envelope separators Encapsulated negative plates help to prevent shorting between negative and positive plates 9 10 COIN TOP BATTERIES A ll POWER-SONIC Coin Top Batteries feature lead calcium expanded grids (lead calcium technology) for resistance to corrosion, overcharging, gassing, water usage, self discharge and thermal runaway, all of which limit battery life in conventional lead batteries.
