[RE-wrenches] Discover Batteries

[Kevin Pegg]

Yes. 

Discover is the house brand used by Canadian Energy, formerly Battery Direct. "Canada's stored & renewable energy expert" is their tagline despite actually having much experience with renewables - they are box movers. There is a co-ownership link between Canadian Energy and Discover Energy. 

We have been using their sealed AGM L16 or Golf Cart format batteries for many years in some very remote industrial sites and they have performed very well. Made in China good quality products.

As for the tubular cells, this technology is not new - Global Yuasa for example has used that technology for a while. We used to sell a lot of Global batteries, until the product quality crapped out about 8 years ago. 

My Cdn energy sales rep will be stopping in next week and I can inquire further if they have any actual field experience with the tubular cells.

Anyone heard of or used Discover Batteries?

They have a sealed lead acid battery that they are claiming 1900 cycles to 80% DOD.
Sounds amazing, but....
They are head quartered in Canada, and I'm having a hard time getting info on them, but a Canadian customer is going to use them and knows other folks that are having success with them.
