EnergyCell 1000XLC 

The EnergyCell 1000XLC is a high-performance Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery 
designed for long life, fast installation, and low maintenance.  Featuring a carbon additive that 
reduces sulfation on the negative plate, the 1000XLC has exceptional cycle life and a 10-year 
warranty, combining the benefits of proven lead acid technology with advanced chemistry.   
The 1000XLC is also designed for safety with minimal offgassing under normal charging 
conditions and leak-proof engineering.  These attributes and more make the 1000XLC an 
excellent candidate for storing residential or light commercial renewable energy.
