Battery Additive Products
Battery Expander
Expander is added to the battery’s negative active material to improve capacity, cold cranking performance, cycle life, charge acceptance, and partial-state-of-charge cycling. Our research team develops expanders to optimize performance across multiple dimensions and requirements. Hammond offers over 120 negative expander formulations tailored for specific applications:
Automotive Starting, Lighting and Ignition (SLI)
Motive Power/Traction
Stationary: Float and Off-grid Energy Storage
Golf Car, Floor Scrubber, and other deep-cycle applications
Motorcycle and e-Bike
Start-stop and Micro Hybrid Vehicles
See our Expander Application Guide to select the right expander for your application.
Tetrabasic Lead Sulfate
SureCure® is added to a battery’s positive active material where it acts as “seed crystals” to promote uniform tetrabasic lead sulfate (TTBLS) crystal growth during paste mixing and plate curing. This results in a number of benefits including stronger positive plates, improved plate-to-plate consistency, longer cycle life, and a typical 5% reduction in active material.

Electrolyte Additives
Sodium sulfate is added to the electrolyte in AGM batteries to improve rechargeability after a deep discharge. Hammond offers high-purity sodium sulfate in both powdered and tablet forms.
