Technologies

Our vast Deka product line is built for virtually any motive power application and rises above other battery offerings – time and time again. Here are some of the technologies that make it possible.

Raw Materials
By having a single-site with four fully equipped technical centers, East Penn is able to test all incoming raw materials. Producing this material onsite allows the company to control quality and supply demands.

Grids
East Penn utilizes highly sophisticated machines to cast superior, heavy-duty flat plate grids. Computer control processes deliver a high level of consistency meaning no missing wires, thin spots, or flashing.

Plates
Paste is applied uniformly using East Penn’s automatic computer integrated pasting machines resulting in excellent material retention and conductivity. The density and formulation of the active material is carefully controlled to predetermined values.

Curing
Deka plates are cured in large temperature and moisture controlled chambers. The exclusive curing process paired with the unique crystallization structure of Deka’s active material optimizes the plate’s performance and extends life.

Formation
Exclusive formation processes that ensures optimized power capacity, cell consistency, and long term reliability from every plate and ultimately each cell, in terms of amp-hour capacity and cycle life.

Multiple Step Retention System
This highly effective five-step retention system is a key component of the extended longevity that comes from a Deka product. This unique system completely strengthens and protects the battery’s vital components while maximizing power flow and preventing life-threatening shorts.
