From the World Leader inVRLA Battery TechnologyDesigned for durability in Telecommunications and Electric Utility applications, the GNB TOPTerminal MARATHONTM series provides high performance and reliability in long duration dis-charge applications. The MARATHONTM family of batteries highlights another example of GNB’sextensive experience and world wide leadership in VRLA technology.

“Designed in” Quality Manufacturing

Quality manufacturing processes for the MARATHONTM series batteries incorporate theindustry’s most advanced technologies including: an automated helium leak detection system, acomputer controlled “fill by weight” acid filler, and a temperature controlled water bath forma-tion process. Each and every unit is capacity tested.

High Performance MARATHON™Series Features

• Standard: Reinforced polypropylene con-tainer and cover

• Optional:Flame-retardant reinforced con-tainer and cover compliant with UL94 V-0,28% L.O.I.

• Integrated Flash-arrester ultrasonicallywelded into cover.

• Patented “Diamond Side-Wall” design tomaintain structural integrity in higheroperating temperatures

• Heat sealed case-to-cover bond to ensure aleak proof seal

• High-Compression Absorbent Glass Mat(AGM) technology for greater than 99%recombination efficiency

• High-tin, calcium, silver, lead positiveplate design for maximum service floatlife; 10 year design life @ 25°C (77°F)

• Heavy duty copper alloy terminals for ease of assembly and reduced maintenance

• Reliable one-way, self-resealing safety vents

• Multicell design for fasterinstallation and reduced maintenance

• Horizontal or vertical operation• Removable carry handles for ease of

installation.
