ENVIROLINK™
The Environmental Choice for Power
Environmentally safe, technologically advanced, and virtually
"maintenance free" sealed power. All characteristics of
one battery. The new ENVIROLINK™ valve-regulated lead-acid
(VRLA) battery by Hawker.
Environmentally Safe
ENVIROLINK™ (VRLA) batteries are very different from our
flooded lead-acid battery products. The ENVIROLINK™ battery
is a completely sealed gel electrolyte battery. The battery never
needs electrolyte or water added.
The electrolyte has been immobilized within each cell, and the vent
cap has been replaced with a permanent valve, making this battery
leakproof/spillproof-and completely environmentally safe. Being
environmentally and employee safe means that:
| |
• You never need to add water or be
exposed to the hazards of sulfuric acid. |
| |
• You do not have to be exposed to the hazards of
hydrogen gas, which is generated during recharge on standard
flooded batteries. |
| |
• You can use and recharge equipment in remote or
decentralized areas because of the reduction of hydrogen gas
generation. |
| |
• Your work area will remain cleaner and safer. |

Technologically Advanced
What technology makes this battery so unique that it doesn't require
water like standard flooded batteries? The ENVIROLINK™ battery
uses a recombination process that prevents water loss. Recombination
is a process in which oxygen is diffused from the positive plate
to the negative plate and the water that has decomposed on the positive
plate (to produce oxygen) is regenerated by the reduction at the
negative plate.
Because regular flooded cells are not designed to operate on the
recombination technique, they require watering on a regular basis.
The sealed gel cells enable oxygen to circulate freer, thus eliminating
the need to add water. No water ever needs to be added, no specific
gravity readings to be taken, no hazardous leaks or spills. It's
environmentally safe and virtually "maintenance free."
The valve-regulated technology enables the battery to operate with
a valve and a closed vent plug, instead of removable vent caps that
are used on flooded lead-acid batteries. Being a sealed valve-regulated
lead-acid (VRLA) battery, ENVIROLINK™ is the clear choice
for environmentally safe power.
