BAE Batteries are energy storage devices you can rely on for your domestic or commercial applications. The tubular positive GEL design and Panzerpol (TM), unique to BAE provide you with trouble-free operation and maximum service life. In Australia, BAE has earned a reputation for supplying quality German-built and engineered batteries for a diverse array of needs. These include RAPS, UPS, Emergency back-up, and renewable energy storage for Stand-alone and hybrid grid-connected systems.
BAE PVV and OPzV cells are available in amp hour sizes from 121Ah(C10) to 4710Ah(C100).
The BAE Secura OPZV PVV Solar range in V0 rated cell cases are compliant AS/NZS 5139:2019 - Electrical Installations – Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment.
Construction of the BAE Panzerpol
The Panzerpol allows 16mm of post sliding whilst maintaining a 100% tight fit. This is brought about through the labyrinth post which is a great base for the plastic connection. A primer is used between the pole and the plastic is injection moulded onto the pole. The plastic coating gives tight contact between rubber rings which prevents acid creeping and allows easy sliding of the post up to 16mm. Positive plate growth is a natural effect of high charge rates and heavy cycling. This prevents the top cracking which causes premature failure of the cell.

BAE Tubular Plate Design
The tubular plate design of BAE solar batteries offers reliable safe and steady performance with stable capacity over the life of the cell. Designed for long cycle life with deep cycling. The BAE tubular grid casting uses antimony-free, lead-calcium-tin alloy which has very low corrosion characteristics and excellent endurance. The dry-filling process with ‘red’ lead gives low plate deviations in tolerances and uniform filling of all the tubes which guarantees low mass shedding and positive active mass which has extensive contact with the conductive lead spines. The large internal surface area also gives stable capacity and high cycle life thus giving you years of reliable energy output.
