Sealed lead-acid batteries are also known as SLA, VRLA (adjustable valve lead-acid battery), or SVRLA. Sealed lead-acid batteries have many applications in the modern world, from motorcycles, off-road vehicles, home alarm systems, toys, emergency systems, drive devices, generators, and the list goes on. These batteries are available in various shapes, voltages, currents, and sizes. If you are not used to with SLA batteries, this article will help you with any queries you may have. It is also recommended to read this buyer's guide if you are planning to replace your current sealed lead-acid battery.
Power Patrol Battery-Date Code
The date is a 4-or 5-digit code on the top of the battery. The first and second characters identify the provider. The third symbol is the month of manufacture, where ‘A’ is January and ‘L’ is December. In 5-digit codes, the fourth character is the day of the month, where 1-1 is the first, ‘A’ is 10 and ‘V’ is 31. The last symbol is the year. 0-2000, 2010, and I-2018.
Which manufacturer do I have to use?
You can use other brands if the voltage and dimensions match your original battery. The capacity difference (ah) should not damage your hard drive. In the system manual, you will find the requirements for minimum and maximum power.
Can I choose an SLA with a different capacity?
You can choose a battery with a different capacity if it is in the same range. For example, if your current battery is 4Ah, you can choose a battery with 4, 5Ah, or 5Ah. Note: the size of the battery can change with a larger capacity. Always adjust the current-voltage and dimensions to your chosen replacement.
How long is the battery life of the SLA?
The service life of a sealed lead-acid battery depends on several factors, including application, operating temperature, and charging method. As a rule, SLA can last 300 to 500 cycles. Never store a discharged or partially charged battery. To extend battery life, charge the battery before storage.
How Long Does My Sealed Lead-Acid Battery Last?
All batteries are SLA self-discharge. If the battery is not charged regularly, its total capacity cannot be restored. As a rule, SLA batteries discharge by 3% each month. We recommend checking and charging every three months. SLA batteries should never be kept for more than six months without being charged. Store the battery in a cool, dry place the ideal storage temperature is 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do I connect the battery in series and parallel?
You can connect the SLA battery in series or parallel. The serial connection of your SLA batteries leads to a higher voltage. For example, if you connect two 12-volt batteries, you get a 24-volt output. The parallel connection of the batteries increases the capacity (ah).
How do I charge an SLA battery?
Some machines charge the SLA battery systematically, such as some home or emergency warning systems. This means that you do not need to take out the battery and charge it into the battery. When you need to charge an SLA battery with a battery, choosing the right charger affects the performance and life of a sealed lead-acid battery (SLA). A rule of thumb when choosing an SLA charger is to use a charger that does not exceed 20% of the rated capacity of the battery (at a rate of 20 hours).

Power Patrol Battery Performance
Sealed 12 Volt and 8 Amp lead-acid (SLA) batteries with NEPTUNE Power Products f2 connectors are manufactured from a lead-calcium alloy and AGM technology with an absorbed glass mat that enables maintenance-free and high-performance operation. The lead-acid battery has one of the lowest energy densities and is therefore not suitable for portable devices. Also, performance at low temperatures is negligible. Self-discharge is about 40% per year, which is one of the best in rechargeable batteries. In comparison, nickel-cadmium decomposes this amount within three months. The high lead content makes the lead-acid ecologically unfriendly.
Battery Life
Over time, the battery capacity deteriorates by sulfating the battery and peeling off the active material. The deterioration of battery capacity depends mostly on the relationship between the following parameters:
Charging / discharging mode that has tested the battery
DOD battery during his life
Its effect over long periods of low discharge
The average temperature of the battery during its lifetime
Conclusion
The production and leakage of hydrogen gas and oxygen from the battery leads to water loss and the water must be regularly replaced in lead-acid batteries. The other components of the battery system do not need to be serviced so regularly, so water loss can be a major problem. If the system is located in a remote location, checking water loss can increase costs. Maintenance-free batteries limit the need for regular maintenance by preventing or reducing the amount of gas leaking from the battery. However, due to the harsh nature of the electrolyte, all batteries introduce an extra preservation section into the photovoltaic system to a certain amount.
