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)

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.
