Why Microtex OPzS Batteries?
German Designs - Made for Indian conditions
Microtex batteries are designed by Dr Wieland Rusch a leading battery scientist & inventor of the copper stretch metal submarine battery design.
Comparable to any leading international brands of batteries – our designs match with the best in the world.
Established in 1969, Microtex is known for its legendary quality
Microtex batteries are known the world over for its dependable & reliable battery performance
Unlike competitors, Microtex makes the complete battery & all its components in house
Microtex produces in house, the specially designed lead alloys, lead oxides, grid castings, pasted plates, injection-moulded containers, multi-tubular gauntlets (PT Bags), PVC separators and produces the complete battery using state of the art industry standard battery making machinery.
What are OPzS battery?
These are 2V standby battery power storage units. They are lead-acid tubular flooded batteries housed in transparent SAN containers. Required to be transparent for mission-critical applications where the condition of the cell’s electrodes can be inspected visually. These batteries have a cell voltage of 2 volts & are connected together to obtain higher voltages. Microtex batteries with high power density are available for Power Generation, Hydroelectricity, Nuclear Power Stations, Solar Energy, Offshore oil rigs, and Petrochemical complexes in transparent SAN containers from 100Ah to 3000Ah. OPzS vs AGM – While OPzS is tubular plate technology, AGM uses flat plate technology.
OPzS vs OPzV: Both use tubular plate technology. OPzS is a vented flooded battery requiring very less maintenance. OPzV is a sealed maintenance-free valve-regulated battery.
High-performance calcium tubular plate technology. When you need a failsafe battery bank, trust Microtex batteries

Microtex Timeline
Why choose a Microtex 2V OPzS?
Technical information & characteristics
- Designer lead Calcium alloys in combination with high tin, for positive electrodes & special additives for negative electrodes to prevent failure due to corrosion
- Special electrode design provides better & faster conductivity to the terminals minimising internal resistance losses
- Calcium lead grids reduce the need to top up considerably
- Hardened lead alloy with copper insert terminal posts – provide faster conductivity and fail-proof connections eliminating terminal post corrosion
- Accurately balanced active materials ensure overcharge tolerance giving you long life & trouble free performance
- Cured & formation processed plates to doubly ensure full conversion. 2V OPzS are supplied with factory pre-formed plates. This ensure for reliable performance and no excess cycling required in the field to obtain rated capacity. Saves time for critical users.
- Superior Woven Tubular Gauntlets (not NONWovens) for tubular electrodes. Woven tubular gauntlets will not rupture in service and active material will not leak causing internal shorts & failure
- Specially designed Aqua-Trap Ceramic Vent Plugs to retain water which may otherwise naturally escape from the vented cell. In addition they have explosion inhibiting properties. In very large battery installations, hydrogen & oxygen gases are developed in the overcharge phase creating highly explosive gases which could escape from the cell. In case of spark from outside the cell, the flame will be arrested by the porous ceramic.
- High quality electrolytic grade copper inter cell connectors with adequate current carrying capacity
2v OPzS the failsafe battery, with German technology
- Smart Terminal pole bushing: It is normal for the plates to grow on both sides, vertical & horizontal during the service life of the battery usually occurring noticeably towards the 7th year of service. To accommodate this growth Microtex have designed a unique (Patent applied for), Smart Terminal pole bushing with rubber grommets, and allows for movement upwards without causing breakage to the cover, which is a common mode of failure in these type of batteries (without this unique feature).
- Transparent SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) containers for visual confirmation of state of battery condition, so essential to mission critical applications like in nuclear power generation industry
- High impact ABS cover with large polarity indication enhances cell safety and bright colours for easy visual of terminal polarity
- Thicker spine grids & busbar ensure better compaction of lead, can withstand corrosion & provides longer life
- Incredible 150 Bar pressure die casted spine grids for positive tubular electrodes (densely compacted under such high pressures prevent early corrosion failures)
- Special lead coated, corrosion resistant passivated SS bolts
- Microtex 2V OPzS are supplied with floor stands that are seismically tested & qualified by certified by national test houses. Stands are with special acid proof coating.
- Factory Charged Batteries – No fuss no mess. Use straight away, saves time
- Microtex invests years of in-house experience. Our world-renowned battery scientists and experts continuously test and improves our products. Because of this, you’ll receive a more efficient battery than you are likely to buy elsewhere

OPzS/TBS tubular plate battery in transparent container
Main advantages of modern technology OPzS/TBS Tubular batteries over expensive & outdated Plante battery type
| Plante Battery | Microtex OPzS Tubular plate battery | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy grid & thin layer of active material on surface of grid | Tubular spine grid. Spines made at incredibly high hydraulic pressures up to 150 Bar. The active material is packed in a tubular bag | Active material during cycling in Plante battery will shed down. Whereas in Tubular plate OPzS, the active material will hold in the tubular bag. |
| Cover bulging & cover cracks during life due to normal positive plate growth | Special terminal bush design will allow the positive terminal pole to travel up to 12mm & keeps 100% seal against acid & gases | No failure due to plate growth in service life in Microtex OPzS batteries |
| Average cycle life | High cycle life | Life cycles 75% C4 (IEC) |
| Footprint 90% more than Microtex OPzS | Weight is less than Plante battery | The life cycle does not justify the high cost |
| Popular in use before 1960's | Microtex is having experience in making tubular batteries for 52 years | Tubular plate battery technology has taken over the redundant plante battery from 1960 onwards & proven worldwide |
| Oldest conventional design | Microtex uses latest appropriate European designs with modifications for hot tropical climates like in India | Gives excellent performance in service |
| Plante battery plate processing is critical & produces lot of effluents | Plate processing is not critical as plante & produces lot less effluents | Microtex OPzS batteries are produced in an environment friendly factory |
2V OPzS is the most popular battery worldwide in the power sector
