Skybox Battery Replacement for Hybrid Energy System Pure Lead Carbon

Leoch PLH+C Pure Lead Carbon Battery drop in Replacement for 48 Volt Outback Power Conversion Equipment

 

Leoch Battery Part Number PLH+C 190FT is a 12 volt,  front terminal, 190Ah @ 8HR advanced pure lead with carbon battery.The PLH+C is a drop in replacement for the Outback Skybox power conversion equipment. The batteries are a drop in replacement and fit the Outback integrated battery rack for 48 volt systems.
Prior to Alpha acquisition of Outback energy, Loech Battery Corp was the OE for the Skybox battery bank. Now the Leoch Pure Lead with Carbon can be purchased for a less expensive price and drops into the Outback Power conversion equipment.

Advanced Lead-carbon Added on Negative Electrode:

The historical weakness of lead acid batteries has been their poor performance (low charge acceptance) due to the formation of sulfation crystals. Partial state of charge and battery aging are the two villains attacking the negative plate. Adding carbon on the pure lead neg electrode, turn off damage from partial state of charge and turn on higher charge acceptance. This means the PLH+Carbon can recharge as fast as it can be discharged.
