What are VRLA Batteries Used For?

A VRLA battery (valve-regulated lead–acid battery) more commonly known as a sealed battery is a lead–acid rechargeable battery. Because of their construction, VRLA batteries do not require regular addition of water to the cells, and vent less gas than flooded lead-acid batteries.

The battery can be mounted in any position, since the valves only operate on overpressure faults. Also, since the battery system is designed to be recombinant and eliminate the emission of gases on overcharge, room ventilation requirements are reduced and no acid fume is emitted during normal operation.

The VRLA products is able to serve the demanding requirements of telecommunications, un-interruptible power supplies and electric utility/switchgear markets.

It offers the broadest range and is ideal solution for :

1. Telecom applications – including central office, outside plant and wireless

2. Un-interruptible power supplies (UPS) applications – computer systems, security, etc.

3. Electric utility applications – including power generation transmission and distribution

AGM batteries perform best in high current, high power applications, such as starting batteries for cars and other vehicles. They're also quite popular with boat and RV owners, since an AGM battery can serve as a dual purpose battery, providing the strong starting power needed to start an engine, as well as the cycling capacity to run additional accessories.

Gel batteries can discharge much deeper than AGM batteries can. This makes them ideal for cycling operations that require heavy, everyday use. Some common uses for gel batteries include: marine trolling motors, wheelchairs & mobility scooters, marine & RV house power, UPS and other backup applications. One thing to keep in mind is that gel batteries don't perform well in cold temperatures since their power declines much faster than an AGM once the temperature drops below 32℉.
