The emergence of a new geometry lead/acid SLI battery (the "Pulsar") from Dunlop in Australia has changed a number of the rules associated with the specification of batteries in certain applications.
The very low impedance of this battery design allows pulses of very high power. As shown in Fig. , uniform current distribution is achieved by the copper strip moulded in the ends of the plastic frame which holds the electrode assembly. This, together with the short distance between the centre lines of each strip of electrode paste and the fact that intercell connection is achieved over the full height of the cell, allows maximum use of the specially developed high surface area of the active materials. The novel frame construction enables each strip of active material and the accompanying separator to be held securely in place. This arrangement FLOATING FRAME

In recent times, there has been a growing recognition of the need for more reliable RAPS systems, both in Australia and in other parts of the world. From the battery point of view, development has, in some instances, been encouraged by a "market push", and in others by a "technology pull". Some manu
