Douglas Legacy® Arctic Battery provides superior performance in cold storage and freezer applications

The Douglas Legacy® Arctic Battery by EnerSys® delivers optimal voltage, capacity and service life in cold storage and freezer applications, while protecting against undercharging and de-rationing of capacity and charge acceptance. “The thick-plate, high-performance technology of the Legacy® battery has been integrated with an exclusive Arctic Electrolyte solution,” said Brian Faust, general manager for Douglas Battery®.  “The result is a durable, high-performance battery that significantly reduces the loss of capacity that is typical when batteries are used in cold storage and freezer applications, enabling the Douglas Legacy® Arctic Battery to run up to 15 percent longer in low temperatures than a standard lift-truck battery.”

The Douglas Legacy® Arctic Battery also features the newly designed Thermal Tray Insulator, which enables effective capacity and voltage levels, as well as enhanced performance of outer cells, in cold-storage and freezer environments. The five-fold plate insulations system provides further protection for a long and dependable service life. Other features include flip-top vent caps for easy watering and reduced dripping of electrolyte into cell covers; trays protected with electrostatic baked-on epoxy to withstand corrosion, reduce voltage tracking, short circuits and rust; and optional quick connect cables that reduce downtime and maintenance.
