Concorde Sun-extender battery image
Sun-Xtender Concorde battery, sealed, maintenance free, valve-regulated, lead-calcium
alloy batteries designed for deep-cycle PV applications. These batteries feature immobilized,
non-spillable electrolyte in AGM microporous sun glass separators. The T series feature
copper alloy M8 terminals except on the PVX 340T & 420T which are M6. The L series
feature heavy-duty “L” blade terminals. Both are designed for heavy duty, high current
capacities.
PV Battery -ver- Automotive and Marine.
The batteries used in solar and wind systems are rated for deep-cycle applications and are
not designed to start engines. The internal construction of automotive batteries and most
marine batteries requires the battery to provide very high current flow for a very short
amount of time. To meet that requirement, these batteries are constructed with many thin,
lead plates. The thickness of the lead plate is a direct indicator of potential
battery life in
deep-cycle applications. When a battery is cycled deeply, 30% to 80%emptied, the lead
plates undergo significant mechanical stress. The thin automotive-type plates do not have
the structural integrity to withstand repeated deep cycling and therefore quickly fail.

Battery Chargeing Termination limits.
Full charge termination voltage (@ 25ºC) 14.40 Vdc,
Float charge termination voltage (@ 25ºC) 13.40 Vdc,
Temperature compensation +/- 3.75mv per cell/ºC degrees @ 25ºC, from (0ºC to 40ºC)

Sealed Lead Acid Battery Transportation Information
Concorde Battery Corporation's Concorde, Chairman, Lifeline, and Sun Xtender Series
batteries are manufactured utilizing Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology. The batteries
are sealed with the electrolyte absorbed in the fiberglass mat separator material. The
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulatory requirements affecting the packaging and
transportation of all batteries containing acid or alkali are contained in the Code of Federal
Regulations, 49 CFR Section 173.159. The Concorde manufactured batteries listed above
are non-spillable wet, electric storage batteries. The batteries are excepted from the
requirements of the DOT's hazardous materials regulations since they meet the
requirements of 49 CFR 173.159(d). 49 CFR 173.159(d) states:

1. The battery must be protected against short circuits and securely packaged;
2. The battery and outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked "NON-SPILLABLE"
or "NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY"
3. The battery must be capable of withstanding the Vibration and Pressure Differential tests
specified in 49 CFR 173.159(d)(3)(i) and 49 CFR 173.159(d)(3)(ii); and
4. At a temperature of 55°C (131°F), the battery must not contain any unabsorbed
free-flowing liquid, and must be designed so that electrolyte will not flow from a ruptured or
cracked case.

The Concorde, Chairman, Lifeline, Reliant, and Sun Xtender Series batteries are packed in
such a way to prevent short circuits, securely packaged, marked "NON-SPILLABLE" or
"NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY", and have been tested by an independent laboratory in
accordance with the DOT regulations. Therefore, they do not require performance oriented
packaging, hazardous materials markings (eg., UN number), or a hazardous materials label.
The Concorde manufactured batteries listed above also are excepted from the IATA
Dangerous Goods Regulations pursuant to Special provision A67 and Packing Instruction
806. The Air Waybill should state "Not Restricted per Special Provision A67." This notice is
to clarify to shippers and transporters that the batteries listed are packaged and marked in
accordance to 49 CFR 173.159(d) and are determined to be in compliance with DOT
HMR49 Non-Hazardous Materials, the International Civil Aeronautics Organization (ICAO)
and the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), Special Provisions S.P.A67 &
A48.

Therefore, these batteries are not restricted for shipment by air or any other
means of transportation and are exempted from the hazardous material category.
