Small and compact are these electrical powerhouses that make our day-to-day life so easy and manageable. It is environmentally safer to use the rechargeable batteries, as you reduce the toxic waste that occurs when you throw out the used batteries. It is important that you dispose of the discharged batteries in the correct and instructed manner.
Let's discuss some of the uses of batteries
Today VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) batteries are being substituted in a number of applications because of their well regulated charging, avoidance of leakage of the electrolytes and are also used where the traditional flooded batteries cannot be used.
VRLA batteries are suited for the following applications:
Deep Discharge, Deep Cycle Applications:
Sailboats
Electronics
Marine trolling
Golf carts
Portable powers
Floor scrubbers
Wheelchairs
Personnel carriers
Marine and RV house power
Commercial deep cycle applications
Emergency Backup and Standby Applications:
Solar power
Village power
UPS (Uninterrupted Power Systems)
Computer backup
Emergency lighting
Telephone switching
Cable television
Unusual Demanding Applications:
Race cars
Wet environments
Air transport equipment
Marine and RV starting
Off-road vehicles
Diesel and I.C.E. starting
Flooded Batteries:
Flooded lead acid batteries are most commonly used in both the marine and automotive industries. These batteries are generally less expensive than the AGM or Gel battery, but do not offer the same shelf life.
Deep Cycle Batteries:
Deep cycle batteries are designed to supply all the accessory power without having immediate replacement charge from an alternator or a generator. Unlike car batteries, deep cycle batteries are constructed with thicker grids of antimony lead alloy and have a denser paste to active material so it can withstand discharge and recharge cycles. This ability to deliver a constant power with long cycle life makes the deep cycle battery an ideal solution for a range of both industrial and recreational applications like:
Caravan battery
Gold buggies
Electric scooter
Four wheel drive vehicles
Electric wheelchairs
Boat battery
Pallet movers
Scissor lifts
Solar devices
Auxiliary power supplies
These are just a few of the applications in which a battery is used.
