The principle of operation and application of sealed lead batteries

Technology has really advanced and one thing that we can commend this growth to is the elimination of the unsealed batteries. The much inconvenience that was associated with these batteries is what led to invention of the current brands of batteries that are popularly known as the sealed batteries. These batteries are designed to utilize the con that was in flooded batteries to make it their pro. That is, they have no filler caps meaning that you will never add acid or open them while charging. This is what is making them very popular since they are easier to work with unlike the flooded acid batteries. There are different technologies used to manufacturing these batteries like the AGM but the sealed lead batteries have been the best choice to go for in the market.

Sealed lead batteries are the most modern types of the batteries that we have today which were first invented in 1970s. They are specially made and compared to the unsealed battery, they very much advanced technologically. They are designed to operate in what is popularly known as maintenance-free condition. You do not have to open the caps while charging to release the gas. This is problem have been solved by keeping the minimum content inside the battery under a slight pressure. By doing this, the gas produced while charging is condensed into liquid form back to the battery plates. This means that very little acid is used and thus there is no need to replenish the battery with acid in future. This has been the main principle that has made the sealed lead acid batteries very popular among many.

Today, sealed lead acid batteries are the trend in the market. Their applications are all and everyone is using them. Make a guess where you have it, they popularly used in car or a motorcycle. these two areas are the biggest consumers of this product. That battery that your phone is using applies the principle of sealed lead acid battery. Another area where you may be having these batteries is in the Uninterruptable power supply (UPS) which are the backup power supplies of the computer systems.

These batteries have incredible charge retention and they can go for days not only in vehicles but also in other areas. They have found good use in some of the most sensitive areas including the hospitals’ ICUs, research sensitive laboratories and also much in the aeronautical field. These are places that require very strong power backups and these sealed batteries are the perfect choice. They are also used in emergency lighting and on wheelchairs. They are very efficient, effective and last longer while they are used in stationary conditions with less or no movement.

My car broke down (nothing to do with a battery) on my way to work – my thanks to your company for employing staff who give such wonderful attention they gave to an elderly lady

Scarlett Russell

Keero was really helpful over the phone. He asked a couple of questions and we figured out straight away that the problem was most likely a dead battery. Phil was in the area and arrived in less than 40 minutes. Got a new battery and I was back up and running again. Thanks guys.

James Burrett

I just want to thank you for getting to my house so fast. The car didn’t want to start this morning and I needed to get to work. The guy who changed the battery was real friendly and I was able to get to work almost on time (only 12 minutes late).
