What makes PowerFrame® different?

PowerFrame® grid technology is the advanced science on the inside of a battery that gives it the strength to withstand the elements outside. And the only way to know you’ve got True Strength™ on the inside of your battery is if it has the PowerFrame label on the outside. 

The positive grid is the most important component of a battery. It’s what provides the energy to start your car - the backbone on which a battery is built. It’s also the part of the battery that most commonly leads to failure. Grid corrosion occurs over time as a result of the extreme temperature variations that batteries can experience. This corrosion weakens your battery and ultimately leads to failure. 

That’s why PowerFrame’s smarter design, engineering and manufacturing set the standard. 

PowerFrame grid technology is built with a sturdy outer frame which improves structural integrity to minimize corrosion and grid fractures. 

The design of every PowerFrame grid optimizes the flow of electrons, which means you can count on your battery every time you need it. 

But it’s not just what they’re made of that counts – it’s how they’re made. PowerFrame grids are made with a patented stamping technique that punches out the optimized and ideal pattern every time. The PowerFrame grid design is patterned for power and optimizes energy flow for consistent power over the life of the battery. 

You can be confident that PowerFrame manufacturing is also environmentally friendly. The process is continuous and virtually waste-free, using 20% less energy and releasing 20% lower greenhouse gas emissions than other manufacturing methods. 

PowerFrame’s performance has been tested and proven in the toughest real-world conditions imaginable: the extreme heat and stop-and-go driving environment of Las Vegas taxi cabs. Batteries with PowerFrame grid technology routinely outlast other batteries in head-to-head Las Vegas taxi-fleet studies.
