C&D Carbon Battery: Low Temperature Characteristics • Lead ‐ acid batteries are severely affected by low temperatures. ‐ Due to an increase in internal resistance caused by a “slowing down” of the battery’s chemical reaction and ion diffusion rates. – A rule of thumb, reaction rates are cut in half for each 10 ° C drop in temperature. • This is directly related to the amount of electrode surface area covered with active material that is available for conversion. 18 C&D Technologies Property

C&D Carbon Battery: Low Temperature Characteristics • C&D Carbon battery has outstanding discharge performance at low ambient temperatures relative to commercial flooded lead ‐ acid and ambient temperatures relative to commercial flooded lead acid and conventional valve ‐ regulated lead ‐ acid (VRLA) batteries ‐ The extremely high available surface area of Carbon material.

C&D Carbon Battery: Low Temperature Characteristics • As Figure shown above, at ‐ 20deg C, a conventional lead acid battery will only yield 50% of its rated capacity. C&D Carbon battery can yield 66% of its rated capacity in this same temperature. This means the C&D Carbon battery will provide nearly more than 16% more Ah capacity y p y p y than the same sized conventional lead acid product at ‐ 20deg C. • Benefit for users on the battery sizing Benefit for users on the battery sizing ‐ sized smaller at the same amps output, smaller space ‐ more powerful, less number of batteries, less accessories cost ‐ last longer if its size were comparable to a conventional lead ‐ acid l l if i i bl i l l d id battery. 20 C&D Technologies Property

C&D Carbon Battery: High Temperature Characteristic The optimum operating temperature for a lead ‐ acid battery is 25 ℃ • ‐ As a rule of thumb, every 8 ℃ to 10 ℃ rise in temperature will increase grid corrosion by a factor of two and result in premature failure for the g y p battery. • Lead grids corrode in the acidic electrolyte with the presence of lead Lead grids corrode in the acidic electrolyte with the presence of lead dioxide (positive ‐ plate active material). High ambient and operating temperatures accelerate this process. 21 C&D Technologies Property

C&D Carbon Battery: High Temperature Characteristic • C&D Carbon battery has superior performance in terms of thermal management, which results in better heat ‐ transfer characteristics of the carbon/graphite. • Carbon battery can not only dissipate the heat generated on itself, but also absorbs heat away from the positive plate and out of the cell. Thus, batteries made with Carbon enhanced electrodes will transfer heat, generated by the electrochemical reactions taking place, out of the battery rapidly, thus making thermal runaway less likely and enabling overall “cool” operation compared to conventional lead ‐ acid batteries. 22 C&D Technologies Property

C&D Carbon Battery: Charge Acceptance Performance The C&D Carbon battery with Carbon enhanced electrode can accept a charge current up to 300% over that for standard Lead Acid. For example: For example: – C&D Carbon battery 5hrs vs. Standard VRLA 10hrs @ C15min discharge, 100% Recharge – C&D Carbon battery 10 hrs vs. Standard VRLA >17hrs @ C/10 discharge, 100% Recharge Recharge Time has been shortened by about 50%! 23 C&D Technologies Property
