The grid design is the heart of every battery. The grids are the supporting framework for the active material of the plates. The active material is also known as the paste adhered to the positive and negative grid. Lead dioxide is the paste material used on the positive grid, while sponge lead is the paste material used on the negative grid.

The grid design, or what is referred to as the “power path”, conducts the current to and from the active material or paste on the plates. Our grid design was developed using computer aided technology to provide the most efficient power path available.

Component	Feature	Benefit
Computer cast, full frame	Thicker upper portion of plate construction reduces power choke	Fast, instant starts
Power Path grid	Full frame eliminates growth problem and punctured separators Computer aided design ensures no dead corners in plate as capacity is pulled around the frame directly to lug	Longer service life

There are two other grid designs commonly used in today’s industry, radial and expanded metal. With radial grids, the left side of the grid has no direct power path, and a poor lug location. It is very inefficient, with limited CCAs produced. A power choke can occur at the top of the plate. Expanded metal grids are also used by many manufacturers today. Again, there is no efficient power path and limited CCAs are produced. The sharp edges could puncture a separator and cause a short circuit. Because there is no frame, the plate can grow.
