When General Battery engineers were designing the HUP battery, they teamed up with DuPont chemists. The result is a battery so dependable, it’s backed by the longest standard warranty in the business. A battery that ensures you receive more runs per shift, a higher capacity for sustained performance during each shift, and less maintenance downtime. HUP offers a battery plate that virtually eliminates flaking and shedding of positive plate materials the chief reason for battery failure.

How did we do it? 
We added tetrafluorethylene, or Teflon®*, to the lead paste used in the active material of the positive plate. The Teflon forms fibers, and these fibers create a complex matrix that traps and binds the active material together. The material is then locked into place during a controlled curing process. The result shedding and flaking are virtually eliminated, the lead paste remains cohesive, and contact with the positive grid remains in place far longer than in standard batteries.
