BUYERS BEWARE: There are solar/battery web sites selling Batteries with Apparent High Amp Hour capacities advertised at the 100 hour rate (i.e. C/100) We don't believe the 100 hour rate is a practical listing for battery buyers. It just a way to make a battery look larger and better than it actually is (higher Amp Hour number)

All of our battery Amp Hour ratings are honestly listed at the industry standard 20 hour rate (a lower Amp Hour number) Our low pricing is always the best... if somebody else's pricing looks to be better BEWARE of the 'ole amp hour rate switcheroo. We have been in the battery business since 1969 - Thirty-eight years. We haven't been in business this long by fooling our customers.

Concorde Battery Corporation is a manufacturer of premium quality lead-acid batteries. The present product lines include valve regulated (sealed) lead-acid batteries (VRB) for aircraft, marine, medical, telecommunications, emergency backup, and photovoltaic applications as well as flooded lead-acid batteries for commercial and military aircraft.

Concorde AGM battery technology has continued to develop and offer improvements over other sealed battery technologies. AGM technology has become the next step in the evolution of both starting and deep cycle sealed batteries for marine, RV, and aviation applications. These are the same type of batteries that the Navy and Air Force used in Desert Storm in their F-18 and F118B "stealth", and in the Marine Corps "HumVees".. This "next generation" technology delivers increased safety, performance, and service life over all other existing sealed battery types, including gel technology. All Concorde AGM batteries carry a one-year full warranty - most gelled cells carry only a 90-day warranty.

 

AGM batteries such as Concorde have much better resistance to vibration and shock due to their construction than most flooded batteries. The plates are packed in with the glass mat, reducing plate movement and vibration to nearly nothing. In addition, because the glass mats are not totally saturated and the liquid does not expand to cause plate and case damage, AGM batteries can withstand freezing.

 

 

bulletStandard "T" Terminals: All "T" batteries now incorporate copper alloy M8 terminals except the PVX-340T which are M6. All batteries supplied with silicon bronze bolts, nuts, and washers as required for installation. No exposed lead terminals. This change was made to improve environmental safety and health. 
bullet"L" Terminals: "L" Blade terminals are installed On the 4D and 8D batteries.
bulletHandles: All part numbers include lifting handles except the PVX-340T, PVX-490T and PVX-2240L. 
bulletRatings: Capacity ratings are stated at 77F (25 C) to 1.75 volts per cell.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS                                                                                                               

bullet

Initial charge or recharge: 2.37 to 2.40 volts per cell at 25 C (77 F).

bullet

Float charge: 2.23 volts per cell at 25 C (77 F).

bullet

Equalize charge: 2.40 volts per cell at 25 C (77 F). Temperature compensation = ±3.75 mV. per cell per degree C [Reference to 25 C (77 F)].  This is for battery temperature (not ambient temperature) and is useful for battery temperatures from O C (32 F) to 40 C (104 F).  Contact Concorde Battery Corporation for temperatures that exceed this range.

Specifications subject to change without notice

In AGM sealed batteries, the acid is absorbed between the plates and immobilized by a very fine fiberglass mat. No silica gel is necessary. This glass mat absorbs and immobilizes the acid while still keeping the acid available to the plates. This allows a fast reaction between acid and plate material. Even if the battery is broken, no electrolyte will be spilled.

Special Order Batteries

6 to 8 week lead time

Two Volt Cells Series connected are always preferable to a series/parallel connected battery bank. Easier to maintain a charge and significantly longer battery life make these 2 volts a definite contender, when considering a trouble free long lived battery bank.

Battery Cable - Interconnects                                                                                               

Highest quality multi-stranded copper welding cable with twelve ton crimped tinned copper lugs and heat shrink tubing on both ends. Our crimped copper lugs make the best connection because they are a copper to copper connection.

After over thirty years experience of making battery cables for the over the road heavy truck industry we don't solder our cables because a soldered connection puts solder between the wire and the lug and solder is not as good a conductor as copper. A copper to copper twelve ton crimped connection is the best because, it carries the most amperage.

We have listed the two most popular sizes below. The 8.5 inch is commonly used to series connect T-105, L-16 and other batteries. The 17 inch is used for parallel connections.

We will custom make any gauge and length interconnect you require, using superior quality MagnaLugs and Heavy duty Heat Shrink, call 888-826-0939 to order.

TSB-76300 Parallel Cable Black 2/0 ga. 17" priced each. $18.97

We also have a complete stock of interconnects for Post Type Batteries Call 888-826-0939 for pricing.

TRUCK FREIGHT

All the Concorde batteries up to 70 lbs are UPS shippable. The larger sizes and quantities of four batteries or more are shipped truck freight, which will save you money over UPS.

The best and cheapest rate for truck freight shipping is for you to pick your batteries up at a local freight terminal. They usually will help you load your truck.

The second best rate is a commercial drop point. A fork-lift should be available.

A residential delivery, if possible, is usually $45 to $95 more than a commercial business delivery.  Most residences are not capable of handling a 40 foot semi and most don't have the fork-lift capability to quickly unload.

A lift gate, not always available, (which drops the batteries off at ground level), is usually an additional $80 to $100 in extra fees.
