What determines the life of an SLA battery?
Sealed lead acid battery life is determined by many factors. These include temperature, depth and rate of discharge, and the number of charges and discharges(called cycles). Back to Top • Can my battery be shipped by air? Yes. Most sealed lead acid batteries are declared non-hazardous for air shipping. Some exceptions apply. Back to Top • I hear lots of talk about float and cycle applications. What is the difference? A float application requires the battery to be on constant charge with an occasional discharge. Cycle applications charge and discharge the battery on a regular basis. Back to Top • What is the difference between a gel cell, an AGM and an SLA battery? A gel cell or gelled electrolyte is a sealed battery containing semi-solid electrolyte and may also be identified as a sealed lead acid, AGM(absorbed glass mat) or VRLA type battery. AGM batteries are sometimes referred to as starved electrolyte because the fiberglass mat contained within the cell is saturated only 95% with a
