CRYSTAL® BATTERY USER MANUAL
process, crystalline inorganic salts are formed, and
the liquid electrolyte is converted into crystallized
salt. The electrolyte is distributed evenly throughout
the cell in a non-hierarchical manner, and there is
no gradient concentration in the upper and/or lower
electrode. This improvement gives complete cell
saturation and assists Crystal® batteries in
achieving an even charge distribution over the
entire plate, improving the electrical properties of the
battery and providing consistent and reliable
performance. It effectively overcomes the
disadvantages of plate sulphation, prevents active
material loss, reduces water loss, has good
temperature range resilience, overcharge/discharge
performance, in addition to greatly improved
battery life.

ADVANTAGES
SUMMARIZED
Compared to mainstream rechargeable industrial
batteries like Lead Acid, Lead Gel, and AGM batteries,
Crystal® batteries have significant improvements:
• Crystal® batteries can charge faster
• Crystal® batteries can be discharged deeper
(even to 0 Volts!)
• Crystal® batteries do not suffer thermal runaway.
• Crystal® batteries have an operating
temperature range from -40˚C (-40˚F) to
65˚C (149˚F)
• Crystal® batteries can be charged in subzero
conditions.
• Crystal® batteries can be cycled more often, even
@ 80% DOD)
• Crystal® batteries have very low gassing
(IEC 60896-21/22)
• Crystal® batteries can be used in a partial state
of charge.
• Crystal® batteries can be stored for 2 years at
25˚C (77˚F)
• Crystal® batteries hold no cadmium, no
antimony, and <3% sulphuric acid
• Crystal® batteries operate at higher
temperatures with lower cycle loss
NOTE: Deep discharging, operating in a partial state
of charge and operating above 25˚C (77˚F) will impact
the number of battery cycles. Please refer to the
product datasheets for more detailed information.

INTRODUCTION
By its unique technology Crystal® batteries have a
higher performance. To overcome the fundamental
limitations of the lead-acid and gel batteries, Green
Rhino has successfully developed technological inno-
vations that make Crystal® batteries ideal
products to replace Lead Acid and Lead Gel batteries.
The safety properties of Crystal® batteries and the
positive test results and case studies from
multinational corporate clients have helped the
Green Rhino Crystal® batteries brand to successfully
enter various global markets.
Crystal® batteries are widely used across a variety
of dynamic applications. Our new type of environ-
mentally friendly battery product is rapidly blending
into the consumer lifestyles of many industries and is
widely accepted by institutions and individuals.
The patented technology found in Crystal® batteries
is a unique and advanced formula - a new type of
composite SiO2 electrolyte developed to completely
replace traditional sulphuric acid solutions. This
secret recipe improves the product’s application
range and safety performance. When the composite
electrolyte reacts with the plates during the charging
