What SLI duty demands of a separator
The SLI series is our highest-volume automotive product: a 220 ±10 g/m²·mm density separator engineered for reliable cold-cranking performance and consistent behaviour on automated battery assembly lines.
Fine 0.5–2.0 μm glass microfibers give the sheet high porosity and strong wicking, holding electrolyte against stratification while resisting puncture from plate edges and lead particles.
Cold cranking
An engine start is a high-rate discharge from the first turn of the key. High-rate discharge performance keeps cranking voltage up in every season.
Years at high SoC
SLI batteries float near full charge for years. High porosity and strong wicking hold electrolyte against stratification the whole time.
Automated assembly
Enveloping and group assembly punish weak sheets. Puncture resistance protects against plate-edge and lead-particle shorts, at line speed.
Automotive Start-Stop
Dual fiber-diameter construction for start-stop duty — puncture resistance up by over 100%.
Motorcycle
The smaller cranking battery: 210±10 g/m²·mm with the same instant-discharge behaviour.
Pasting Paper
Pairs with every plate line: pasting paper for continuous grid pasting, BET ≥2.0 m²/g.
