Edcon batteries manufactured using Ca/Ca technology represent a modern solution in the field of battery technology based on the use of calcium alloys in order to increase durability and reliability. Their design is based on a special combination of active materials, where the anodes and cathodes are made of alloys with high electrical conductivity and stability during cyclic operation.
At the Edcon plant, these alloys are manufactured by melting the initial components in vacuum furnaces at temperatures exceeding the melting points of each element, which ensures uniformity and stability of the crystal structure. The resulting melts are rapidly cooled in molds with precise temperature control, which makes it possible to form plates of active materials with high porosity and optimal microstructure.[/caption]
After cooling, the plates are crushed and pressed to achieve the desired thickness and density required to form the battery cells. Special attention is paid to the stabilization processes in which the plates undergo heat treatment. This contributes to the formation of stable crystalline phases and increases porosity. These properties guarantee good electrolyte wettability and efficient ion transfer, which is critical for long-term battery life.
When assembling batteries, the plates are stacked in layers using special separators made of microporous polymer membranes. These separators provide electrochemical isolation between the plates, while allowing free movement of ions. After assembly, the battery is vacuum treated, which eliminates any air and moisture inside the structure — this prevents corrosion and degradation of the components. Then the electrolyte is poured inside the case, and the device is hermetically sealed.
The production process is completed by the main stage — careful quality control. Each battery is tested for resistance, capacity, tightness, and mechanical strength. Such tests make it possible to confirm compliance with technical parameters and ensure high cyclic stability of the battery in real-world operating conditions.
As a result, the consumer receives a high-quality and reliable battery with balanced characteristics and the following advantages:
- Increased battery capacity and efficiency by 30% by increasing the number of thinner negative plates;
- Lead plates containing calcium are reliably protected from corrosion by alloying the electrode plates with calcium;
- Increased reliability and vibration resistance of the battery to mechanical shocks due to the use of shock-resistant plastic in the production;
- Guaranteed engine start at sub-zero temperatures;
- No need to top up the water — the battery is maintenance-free.
- Long service life — high technological design and alloy grilles significantly extend battery life.
