The Rapid SLA battery has stable and reliable performance. It can be easily maintained to permit proper operation of the equipment that it powers. The battery can withstand overcharge, over discharge, vibration, and shock, and is capable of extended storage.

    Rapid's unique construction and sealing technique guarantee that no electrolyte leakage can occur from the terminals or case of any Rapid battery. This feature insures safe, efficient operation of Rapid batteries in any position. Rapid batteries classified as "Non-sailable" and will meet all requirements of the International Air Transport Association.

    During the expected float service life of Rapid batteries, there is no need to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte, or add water. In fact, there is no proclamation for these maintenance functions.

    Rapid batteries are equipped with a safe, low pressure venting system, which operates at 1psi to 6psi,designed to release excess gas and reseal automatically in the event that gas pressure rises to a level above the normal rate. Thus, there is no excessive build up of gas in the batteries. This low pressure Venting system, couples with the extraordinarily high recombination efficiency, make Rapid batteries the safest lead-acid batteries available.

    The heavy-duty lead calcium-alloy grids in Rapid batteries provide an extra margin of performance and service life in both float and cyclic applications, even in conditions of deep discharge.
