DLP-GC2-36V
LITHIUM PROFESSIONAL Battery
Discover® AES PROFESSIONAL LiFePO4 battery models are purpose built to replace and fit the standard groupings of BCI 6V, 8V and 12V (GC) batteries. AES PROFESSIONAL batteries incorporate a proprietary high-current BMS that delivers superior peak power along with lightning fast 1C continuous charge and discharge rates, plus they feature COLD CHARGE functionality allowing for cold temperature charging to begin from -20°C / -4°F. Independently tested to the highest safety, performance and transportation standards, a single battery will do the work of many lead-acid batteries and unlike lead-acid batteries can be continuously operated in a Partial State of Charge (PSOC) without degrading performance.

NOTES
CAUTION: Direct connection to DC motors without proper safety protection, motor controllers, and external motor voltage clamping systems (such as high power anti-parallel diodes or braking resistor systems) may result in damage to the internal pack protection system which may result in unsafe situations. Please consult Discover technical support before directly connecting any motorloads.
