Re: [Electric Boats] Northstar Battery - Difference between Red and Blue series?

 

The Northstar Blue+ batteries were recently tested in a head to head PSOC test against Lifeline, Deka, Odyssey, Firefly and a CALB LFP battery as a control "gold standard". The Blue+ did comparably well to the Odyssey but the Firefly Oasis was the only battery to recover all of the lost capacity during the walk-down of the PSOC test..

The initial test was May 2015 "Fighting Sulfation In AGM's:

The follow up included the Blue+ and was in the August Issue:

The carbon many AGM makers are mixing in, sometimes referred to as;  nano-carbon, hyper-carbon, smart-carbon or even graphene, are not the same approach as the patented carbon foam grid that Firefly is using.
