Advanced technology to increase six sigma of positive and negative plates by curing and drying of plates in stacks:

• lowest six sigma of plate performance due to instant curing at high temperatures of about 95°C by use of steam

1. minor dependence on oxide quality (no dry out of plates)
2. very narrow distribution of 4 basic lead sulphate crystal sizes by use of TBLS+ for positive plates
3. especially capable for batteries for hybrid vehicals, electrical drive and brake assistance systems by enhanced requirements on DOD
• wet heavy duty batteries
• VRLA batteries

• Dock to dock time of less than a day instead of several days for instant technology
• Presupposition for Online-Manufacturing capability: no stocks, no finished goods and fast response on customer order
