Choosing Marathon L/XL and M-FT batteries is often based on their proven reliability, long life, and application-specific design. Here’s a breakdown of the key reasons to select each:
These are long-life AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) VRLA batteries, ideal for demanding standby power needs.
Extended Design Life
L-Series: Up to 10 years
XL-Series: Up to 12+ years (Extra-long life), reducing replacement cycles and total cost of ownership.
High Reliability
Designed for mission-critical systems like data centers, industrial controls, and medical equipment.
Proven performance in float and cyclic applications.
Low Maintenance
Sealed VRLA design: No watering required, minimal upkeep.
Rugged Construction
Resistant to vibration and temperature variations, with robust grids and thick plates for durability.
Flexible Installation
Can be mounted in multiple orientations (except upside down) due to leak-proof design.
The M-FT series refers to modular front-terminal VRLA batteries, typically used in telecom and rack-mounted power systems.
Space-Saving Design
Front terminal access enables easy maintenance in tight rack spaces, ideal for telecom enclosures and network closets.
High Energy Density
More power in less space, optimizing performance for limited-footprint installations.
Quick Installation & Service
Terminals accessible from the front = fast and safe connections and diagnostics.
Reliable Power Delivery
Designed to deliver consistent power for long-duration backup or cyclic telecom use.
Optimized for Telecom
Compliant with industry telecom standards and often certified for outdoor/indoor cabinets.
