The Lifeline Pedigree:
Concorde Battery Corporation was founded in 1977 and is a manufacturer
of premium quality lead acid batteries. Originally, Concorde's main
product emphasis was dry-charged and gelled-electrolyte lead acid
batteries (GEL). In 1985, Concorde pioneered new valve-regulated,
absorbent glass mat (AGM) battery technology for use in aircraft
applications. The success of this technology in the aviation market has
been remarkable and Concorde is now the largest manufacturer of
valve-regulated lead acid batteries for both commercial and military
aircraft.
 

In 1986, Concorde further developed the VRLA AGM Battery technology for
deep cycle applications. This development effort provided higher energy
density (higher capacity) and better cycle life than its
gelled-electrolyte battery counterpart. Concorde soon discontinued the
GEL Battery product lines and concentrated all engineering developments
on the AGM product lines. In 1987, Concorde began supplying the
Recreational Vehicle and Marine industries with a new industry specific
brand of deep cycle AGM batteries named Lifeline. Over the years the
design expertise, quality of product and customer focus has made
Lifeline a leader in providing the best battery available for the RV
and Marine markets. Lifeline is committed to the proposition that the
customer deserves the best performing and highest quality product for
their recreational endeavors. Lifeline batteries are tailored to the
application rather than make the designer/user settle for what is
available. It is this commitment - to meet the needs of the customer -
that sets Lifeline apart.
 

Overview of Lifeline AGM Technology
Lifeline AGM batteries are valve-regulated, recombinant gas, absorbed
electrolyte, lead acid batteries. The cells are sealed with a pressure
relief valve that prevents gases within the battery from escaping. The
positive and negative plates are sandwiched between layers of glass mat
consisting of a blend of glass micro fibers of varying length and
diameter. This blend features superior wicking characteristics and
promotes maximum retention of the electrolyte. An envelope of micro
porous polyethylene surrounds each wrap of glass mat to further protect
the fluid and the glass mat fibers. The mat is over 90% saturated with
the electrolyte. By design the mat is not totally saturated with
electrolyte providing channels by which oxygen can travel from the
positive to the negative plates during charging. When the oxygen gas
reaches the negative plate, it reacts with lead to form lead oxide and
water. This reaction at the negative plate suppresses the generation of
hydrogen that otherwise would come off the negative plate. In this
manner, virtually all of the gas is "recombined" inside the cell,
eliminating the need to add water, resulting in "maintenance-free"
operation. Furthermore, since the acid electrolyte is fully absorbed in
the AGM separator, the battery is nonspillable even when turned or
mounted upside down.
 

Prevost Commitment to Quality
Prevost Coach lines has a similar commitment to quality in their
endeavor to build the worlds best coaches and RVs. Prevost coach has
chosen Lifeline Batteries as their OEM Battery because they can count
on the domestically manufactured, hassle free, quality, and long
lasting operation behind the Lifeline brand. Shouldn't you!
