At Battery Energy, we are committed to ensuring we are looking after the environment by monitoring our impact. It is also our policy to ensure we comply with legislation and regulations where we operate.
To comply with the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2011 (POELA Act), we are required to publish reports on our environmental impact through pollution monitoring data.
These are the latest reports, our documented procedures and our licence details. If you are interested in historical reports or have any concerns, you can use our contact form to find out more.

Our batteries have flame retardant ABS cases, however, the flooded cells are moulded SAN material.
Our GEL battery has been designed to give an operating life as close to flooded batteries as possible. This is achieved by using special alloys, SuperGEL plate technology, thick plate designs, and a proprietary gel mix and filling.
No, this battery is strictly for stand-by, float operation only.
Yes, in solar hybrid applications with autonomy up to 50-hours duration.
Yes, absolutely. Especially in extreme environments where cooling is not available or necessary and long discharge rates.
No, we only supply a premium range of industrial batteries.
No, we only supply a premium range of industrial batteries.
All batteries are dispatched with the required fasteners, links and cables.
Yes, however it's not recommended as the capacity of the bank will perform only as well as the least performing cell in the bank.
Over time, batteries will start to lose capacity reducing the run-time for your applications. A correctly designed system should have approximately 80% of capacity at their end of life.
There is no need to top-up electrolytes, however, batteries must be kept clean to ensure terminals are clean and tight.
As a box of electrochemical energy with a finite life, the more battery capacity used over a short period of time, the quicker it will fail. Subsequently, reducing the capacity used will lengthen the time it lasts.
No, the battery is sealed for life.
Under no circumstances should you open the vent on any sealed lead acid battery. This will void the battery warranty.
You never need to add water or acid, and that’s the advantage!
Yes. Please contact us for further information.
This is the rate that the battery is discharged at therefore, C10 is discharged over a 10-hour period and C120 is discharged over a 120-hour period.
Yes, GEL batteries can be recycled using a registered battery recycler.
Yes, the more material in the grid structure, the longer it takes to corrode away.
The design life is a method by which battery manufacturers self-rate their batteries, based on the corrosion of the positive plate to failure. This test is usually conducted in a controlled environment with a measured thickness of the battery grid in a known strength of sulphuric acid. It should be noted that batteries can fail due to a number of reasons beside positive grid failure.
