[SEL] Battery stuff

Your company web site looks suspiciously familiar to your personal site :) 

The catalytic convertor thingies are really cool I didn't know such an item
even existed. It would be nice if they could be adapted to automotive
batteries.

Just a bit of information on batteries that might be of interest:

When we do a large 30V or  110V installation at utility substations,
we use either Plante or Flat Plate batteries or cells. In both cases,
we now fit a catalytic filler top that converts any free Hydrogen and
Oxygen in the cells back to water, which runs back into the cell.

In the case of a 200AH 110V battery, it will run for up to 10 years
with no water topping up required, but the cell can be topped up
readily by simply removing the converter.

The batteries and cells are sat on 3/16" thick insertion rubber sheet,
which in turn is either on a square tube frame or shelves in a
cabinet.

Pictures of the converters and a typical 110V 200AH flat plate battery
installation are on our company website at:

There are also shots of the old Plante battery in those pictures.
