Valve-regulated battery composition pictures and prices

What is a valve regulated lead acid battery?

A valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery is also known as sealed lead–acid (SLA) battery is a type of lead-acid battery. In this type of battery, the electrolyte that does not flood the battery but it’s rather absorbed in a plate separator or silicon is added to form a gel.

Who makes valve regulated batteries?

For almost three decades, East Penn has been manufactur-ing valve-regulated batteries using tried and true technology backed by more than 65 years experience. East Penn pro-duces a complete line of Gel, AGM, and conventional flooded products for hundreds of applications.

What is a valve regulated cell or battery?

In this revision, particular reference is made to ‘General Definitions’, ‘Product Characteristics’, ‘Design Life’, ‘Service Life’ and ‘Safety’. A valve regulated cell or battery is closed under normal conditions by a non-return control valve that allows gas to escape if the internal pressure exceeds a predetermined value.

What is the IEC/EN Guide to Valve Regulated Lead-acid batteries?

This guide to IEC/EN standards aims to increase the awareness, understanding and use of valve regulated lead-acid batteries for stationary applications and to provide the ‘user’ with guidance in the preparation of a Purchasing Specification.

What are the specifications of a VRLA battery?

key specifications of a typical VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) battery: 1. Voltage: Typical individual VRLA batteries are available in voltages like 2, 6, and 12 volts. 2. Capacity: The capacity of VRLA batteries can range widely, often from a few ampere-hours (Ah) to over 200 Ah, depending on the application. 3.

Are valve regulated batteries dangerous?

Although all valve-regulated batteries have the electrolyte immobilized within the cell, the electrical hazard associated with batteries still exists. Work performed on these batteries should be done with the tools and the protective equipment listed below.
