Industrial Batteries

What is a SLA battery? 

An SLA (Sealed Lead-Acid) battery that incorporates VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) technology has several benefits and applications. Here are some key points: Benefits of VRLA technology in SLA batteries: 

• Maintenance-free: VRLA batteries are sealed and do not require the addition of water or electrolyte, making them virtually maintenance-free. 
• Spill-proof: The sealed design prevents leakage of electrolyte, making VRLA batteries safer and more suitable for various applications. 
• Longer service life: VRLA batteries have a longer service life compared to conventional flooded lead-acid batteries, typically two to three times longer. 
• Versatile mounting positions: VRLA batteries can be mounted in various positions, including upright, sideways, or even upside down, without leakage concerns. 
• Reduced gassing: VRLA batteries have a much lower gas emission rate, reducing the need for ventilation and making them suitable for indoor applications. 

Applications of VRLA SLA batteries: 

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): VRLA batteries are widely used in UPS systems to provide backup power in case of power outages, ensuring continuous operation of critical equipment and systems. 
• Emergency lighting: VRLA batteries are commonly used in emergency lighting systems to provide illumination during power failures, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes. 
• Alarm and security systems: VRLA batteries are utilized in alarm and security systems to maintain operation during power outages, ensuring continuous monitoring and protection. 
• Portable electronics: VRLA batteries are used in various portable electronic devices, such as portable tools, medical equipment, and emergency radios, due to their maintenance-free and spill-proof design. 
• Renewable energy systems: VRLA batteries are employed in renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind power installations, to store energy for later use or backup power. 
• Mobility applications: VRLA batteries are used in mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, and golf carts, providing reliable and maintenance-free power sources. 
• Industrial applications: VRLA batteries are utilized in various industrial applications, such as material handling equipment, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robotics, due to their durability and reliability. 

Overall, the combination of VRLA technology and SLA batteries offers numerous benefits, including low maintenance, spill-proof design, longer service life, and versatile mounting options, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where reliable and maintenance-free power sources are required.
