By Petra Paulson Yes, sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries are completely rechargeable. In fact, when used correctly, most 12 Volt and 6 Volt sealed lead-acid batteries can be discharged/recharged over 1
By Petra Paulson Yes, SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries and VLRA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are two different names for the same thing. Both refer to a fully-rechargeable battery containing
By Petra Paulson Absolutely. The ambient temperature of a room or environment can have a huge impact on SLA battery performance. Sealed Lead-Acid batteries are designed to operate at full capacity in
By Petra Paulson No, you should never bend the terminals of a sealed lead-acid battery. Sealed Lead-acid (SLA) batteries, like the Casil CA631 or the EnerSys NP4-6 , have terminals bonded to the top
By Petra Paulson NO. Doing so is illegal in many states. Sealed Lead Batteries are made up of some environmentally unfriendly components, including lead and electrolytes, that are highly toxic. Recyc
By Petra Paulson Size, voltage, and capacity are the three most important factors to consider when choosing the right sealed-lead acid replacement battery for your Honeywell Control Panel . When buyi
By Petra Paulson Before connecting your 6 volt or 12 volt SLA batteries in parallel... Make sure the batteries you're connecting are of the same voltage, capacity, and battery type. Failing to do so
By Petra Paulson Connecting two SLA Batteries in series will double voltage output while keeping the battery capacity (Ah) the same. For example, if you have two UltraTech UT640 batteries, each batte
By Petra Paulson Sealed lead-acid batteries, like the PS-1250 , that aren't connected to a control panel or similar float-charging device, will require a sealed lead-acid battery charger. Choosing th
By Petra Paulson 6 Volt and 12 Volt Sealed Lead-acid batteries should be stored in accordance with these guidelines to sustain optimum battery performance. 1. Always store batteries fully charged. Ch
By Petra Paulson A deep discharge for an SLA battery occurs when the battery depletes a significant percentage of its total capacity. Multiple deep discharges can have an adverse affect on battery li
By Petra Paulson Float-charging or trickle-charging occurs when a battery is recharged at a rate equal to the speed in which it discharges. In the case of sealed lead acid alarm batteries , it refers
By Petra Paulson "Ah" (Ampere hour) ... refers to a battery's discharge current over time. Usually measured against a 20 hour period, Ah is used to determine battery current capacity. It determines t
By Petra Paulson There are numerous factors that affect the life of an alarm battery , but the most common are ambient temperature, cycling, and chemistry. Ambient temperature (the temperature of the
By Petra Paulson Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) Alarm Batteries, like the Casil CA1240 , provide the most reliable backup power to residential alarm systems, like Honeywell Control Panels . When it comes to
By Petra Paulson All Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries have either F1 or F2 terminals located on the top of the battery. The reason for the difference is to accommodate the different sized wire lead connect
By Petra Paulson This behavior is unusual, and often results from an old battery or a defective battery charger. Try charging your SLA battery using a different charger and see if you notice any diff
By Petra Paulson No, sealed lead-acid batteries are not constructed of nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride, therefore they do not suffer from the "memory effect". Memory effect... or "battery lazi
