LEAD-ACID BATTERY DESIGN

Lead-Acid Battery Modules

•

The Electric Ranger uses advanced technology, valve-regulated,

starved electrolyte lead-acid batteries.

•

The 39 individual battery modules in the Traction Battery are

sealed and maintenance-free.

•

Each 8-volt battery is made up of a polypropylene case, stainless

steel terminals and sulfuric acid electrolyte.

•

The electrolyte inside each battery is soaked in a cotton-like fiber,

and only seven or eight drops will drain from each of the four cells

in an individual battery.
