Microtex 2v OPzV battery manufacturer
For Solar, Electricity Power Generation, Nuclear, Telecommunications, BESS & Standby Power
2v OPzV cells in ABS containers are designed for deep discharge and float long-duration applications in the Solar off-grid backup, Offshore Oil rigs, Telecommunication & Power Generation industries. Our OPzV cells are manufactured using the best industry techniques, extensive testing, and highest quality components. The ABS plastic containers maintain their rigid properties at a wide range of temperatures from −20 to 55 °C (−4 to 131 °F).
Deep cycle Tubular gel 2v battery have precision German vent valves and no opening for water levels to check. Being a sealed unit, there is no risk of acid spillage. This battery can be installed in a horizontal or vertical position. Recharging is performed much more efficiently due to the special design of the active materials for faster charge acceptance. Gelled electrolyte ensures no stratification of acid & failure due to Partial State of Charge (PSoC)

Fast forward to today
Microtex is legendary for its high quality batteries & reputed in the battery industry for its good & ethical business practices. Microtex manufacturing plant is environment friendly, involves employees & ensures their welfare is first. Microtex is probably one of the few companies worldwide to manufacture in house, the entire battery from the lead alloys, battery containers, the grid castings, plate manufacture, assembly & testing of batteries to world class standards.
Why choose a Microtex 2V OPzV cell?
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 brass 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 OPzV Batteries are fully charge & ready to use, 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 Valve Regulated Vent Plugs from Germany, with high precision & accuracy opening & closing at defined pressures
- High quality electrolytic grade copper inter cell connectors with adequate current carrying capacity
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).
- Robust & sturdy ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene) containers – does not bulge in service
- 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 OPzV Batteries 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
