The Royal calcium battery is a general purpose semi-sealed
battery with a design life up 3 to 5 years in standby service.
Royal batteries uses specially alloyed calcium-lead, which leads to extremely low levels of "electrolyte
decrease". Therefore there is no need to supplement distilled water if the charging system remains error-free.
Special liquid-gas separators keeps the electrolyte inside. An electrolyte is any substance containing free ions
that behaves as an electrically conductive medium. These separators are also used between the positive and
negative plates of a lead acid battery to prevent a short circuit through physical contact. No filler caps are
required therefore there is no electrolyte contamination, overwatering or damage in use. Unique wrought
lead-calcium grid design means less internal corrosion and efficient current conductivity for more power and
longer life. It also cuts gassing, resists overcharge, heat and thermal runaway.

Terms and ratings
Cold cranking amperes (CCA) is the amount of current a battery can provide at 0 °F (−18 °C). The rating is
defined as the current a lead-acid battery at that temperature can deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at
least 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a 12-volt battery). It is a more demanding test than those at higher
temperatures.
Hot cranking amperes (HCA) is the amount of current a battery can provide at 80 °F (26.7 °C). The rating is
defined as the current a lead-acid battery at that temperature can deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at
least 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a 12-volt battery).
Reserve capacity minutes (RCM), also referred to as reserve capacity (RC), is a battery's ability to sustain a
minimum stated electrical load; it is defined as the time (in minutes) that a lead-acid battery at 80 °F (27 °C)
will continuously deliver 25 amperes before its voltage drops below 10.5 volts.
The hydrometer measures the density, and therefore indirectly the amount of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte.
A low reading means that sulfate is bound to the battery plates and that the battery is discharged. Upon
recharge of the battery, the sulfate
returns to the electrolyte.
Clamping Options
Automotive batteries typically have different types of terminals. In past years, the most common design was the SAE
Post, consisting of two lead posts in the shape of truncated cones, positioned on the top of the battery, with slightly
different diameters (to ensure correct polarity).

What is the difference between a normal lead-acid car battery and a deep cycle battery?
A car's battery is designed to provide a very large amount of current for a short period of time. This surge of current
is needed to turn the engine over during starting. Once the engine starts, the alternator provides all the power that
the car needs, so a car battery may go through its entire life without ever being drained more than 20 percent of its
total capacity. Used in this way, a car battery can last a number of years. To achieve a large amount of current, a car
battery uses thin plates in order to increase its surface area. A deep cycle battery is designed to provide a steady
amount of current over a long period of time. A deep cycle battery can provide a surge when needed, but nothing
like the surge a car battery can. A deep cycle battery is also designed to be deeply discharged over and over again
(something that would ruin a car battery very quickly). To accomplish this, a deep cycle battery uses thicker plates.
Typically, a deep cycle battery will have two or three times the RC of a car battery, but will deliver one-half or three-
quarters the CCAs. In addition, a deep cycle battery can withstand several hundred total discharge/recharge cycles,
while a car battery is not designed to be totally discharged.

Cranking amperes (CA), also sometimes referred to as marine cranking amperes (MCA), is the amount of current a
battery can provide at 32 °F (0 °C).
Charging Instructions
The battery is an energy storage reservoir. When energy is removed from the battery it must be put back by recharg-
ing. The amount of energy to be put back depends on how much was taken out. The time it will take depends on the
ampere out of the charger used. The Delkor Royal Marine and Deep Cycle battery has a built-in state-of-charge
indicator to show how much energy is left in the battery. A green colored ball or black colored ball may be visible in
the indicator. The indicator is also used to determine how long the battery should be recharged as follow.
Indicator Colour Black Green • Temperature during charge: 15.5 oC to 26.6 oC
State-of-charge Below 50% 50~70% Above 70% • Recommended charging ampere: 0.1C; Therefore
Minimum Charge Time 24 Hours 12 Hours 8 Hours 0.1 x 100A/h (1150K) = 10Amps charging
How to handle and Store batteries
• Batteries should be stored in cool, dry (27 ˚C) places and out of direct sunlight (make sure the battery is fully
charged)
• Delkor Royal batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage. However, tilting the battery to an angle of 45
degrees can cause acid to leak through the vents on the sides. Therefore, batteries should always be stored in their
upright positions. Prevent placing any aqueous or solid (i.e. conductors) bodies on top of the battery.
• UN2794 “United Nations Committee of Experts on transport of dangererous goods defines the batteries as wet,
filled with acid and electric storage.
• It is extremely dangerous to use tools, such as hammers, on the battery terminals when connecting cables to the
mounted battery.
• When storing the battery for long periods of time, check the voltage of the battery every 6 months. If the voltage
(OCV) drops below 12.5V, recharge the battery before placing it back in storage.
• Check the hydrometer periodically on stored batteries. If 1 or 2 of the indicators appear black, immediately
recharge the respective lot.
