Sealed Lead Acid Battery (SLA Battery) FAQs
At Battery Giant, we want our customers to be happy with their SLA battery purchase. We achieve this by providing our customers with all the information they need regarding SLA batteries. Below are basic SLA battery FAQs to help answer any of your general SLA battery questions.
Q: How does a SLA battery (sealed lead acid battery) work?
A: A SLA battery (sealed lead acid battery) works similar to other common batteries. Sealed lead acid batteries store energy in a chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. Each sealed lead acid battery cell consists of positive plates, negative plates and an electrolyte solution. Sealed lead acid batteries produce electricity because of the chemical reaction between these elements.
Q: What should I consider when purchasing a sealed lead acid battery?
A: There are three important factors to consider when buying sealed lead acid batteries. While shopping for SLA batteries, it is critical to consider size, power and warranty. Although it is recommended to consult the manufacturers recommended guidelines in attaining the correct replacement sealed lead acid battery, below are some general factors to consider while selecting a replacement SLA battery.
First, you have to make sure the replacement sealed lead acid battery will fit. Check the physical dimensions of the new sealed lead acid battery with that of your original SLA battery. Next you need to consider what the required power is for the replacement SLA battery. Finally, you need to consider the sealed lead acid battery warranty period. We recommend choosing sealed lead acid batteries with a warranty period that best fits your needs.
Q: What causes sealed lead acid batteries to fail?
A: There are several factors that contribute to the failure of sealed lead acid batteries. Excessive heat causes corrosion, which can dry out the sealed lead acid battery cell. This is probably the number one reason for the failure of sealed lead acid batteries. Extreme cold weather can sometimes put a heavier drain on SLA batteries. This also is a contributor to SLA battery failure. Also, if a sealed lead acid battery is not securely held down, vibrations can shed the active material from the SLA battery plate grids. This will cause failure in most sealed lead acid batteries. Overcharging a sealed lead acid battery may cause overheating. Although typically a prolonged process, overcharging can eventually cause SLA batteries to depreciate. Other possible factors that can cause sealed lead acid batteries to fail include corroded terminals, sulfation due to inactivity, or electrical shorts in the sealed lead acid battery itself. These are just some of the common causes of SLA battery failure. Sealed lead acid batteries can vary in composition, which can influence how SLA batteries depreciate.
Q: Where is the best place to store SLA batteries during the off season?
A: Before storing a SLA battery, make sure it is fully charged. Remember that fully charged sealed lead acid batteries will not freeze, but a discharged sealed lead acid battery can freeze. Test your sealed lead acid battery and charge the SLA battery if necessary. It also might be wise to purchase a SLA battery maintainer. After a full charge and test, now you are ready for sealed lead acid battery storage. It is important to store SLA batteries in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of the reach of children or pets. Check the level of the SLA battery charge every 30-45 days. A trickle charge using a sealed lead acid battery maintainer or low amperage charge overnight might be necessary for some SLA batteries depending on their age and composition. Also a good SLA battery storage precaution is to check the fluid level inside the sealed lead acid battery. If the fluid level is low inside the sealed lead acid battery, add distilled water.
Q: How do you properly charge sealed lead acid batteries?
A: Proper charging of sealed lead acid batteries is important. While the SLA battery charger or SLA battery maintainer is still unplugged, connect the leads to the proper (+)(-) terminals. Wiggle the sealed lead acid battery connectors to ensure a good connection. Adjust the settings on the sealed lead acid battery charger for correct voltage and amperage. Now you can plug in the sealed lead acid battery charger and turn it on. While charging SLA batteries in a well-ventilated area, periodically check on the sealed lead acid battery for any obvious signs of SLA battery charging malfunctions. Make sure that while charging SLA batteries that there is no signs of overheating. If the sealed lead acid battery is too hot to touch or if the sealed lead acid battery is gassing profusely, turn the charger off immediately. Once the sealed lead acid battery is fully charged, turn the charger off, unplug it from the wall and unhook the sealed lead acid battery charging cables. Always use caution when charging sealed lead acid batteries.
Q: What can I do to help preserve the life of sealed lead acid batteries?
A: Follow these guidelines every 3-6 months to help extend the life of sealed lead acid batteries.
- Check sealed lead acid batteries for cleanliness - If the sealed lead acid battery tray is dirty or corroded, first remove the SLA battery cables, followed by the SLA battery unit. Wash the sealed lead acid battery tray with a water and baking soda solution. Flush the sealed lead acid battery tray with water and thoroughly dry it off. If necessary, further clean the SLA battery with a brush or a special terminal cleaning tool. It is also safe to wash most sealed lead acid batteries with the baking soda and water solution, however, be sure that the SLA battery vent caps are on tight (if the SLA battery is not sealed) to prevent anything from entering into the sealed lead acid battery cells. Clean sealed lead acid batteries, in a clean tray, will ensure the best connection.
- Check sealed lead acid battery hold down brackets - Make sure the brackets holding the SLA battery to the frame are secure. Excessive vibration may cause premature failure in sealed lead acid batteries. If the SLA battery brackets are loose, tighten them and spray them with a corrosion preventative spray. This will keep the corrosion on sealed lead acid batteries from rebuilding.
- Check the sealed lead acid battery case - The condition of the SLA battery case can indicate if you have a problem. If the SLA battery case is swollen on the sides (concave) there is probably a charging system problem. If the sealed lead acid battery case is cracked, the SLA battery should be replaced. These sealed lead acid battery problems are non repairable. In these incidences, it is recommended to replace the sealed lead acid battery immediately.
- Check fluid levels within sealed lead acid batteries - Remove the vent caps and check on the fluid level inside the SLA battery. If you see fluid, the sealed lead acid battery is most likely fine. While looking in the cell of a SLA battery, if you see an exposed lead plate, distilled water should be added. Be careful not to overfill the cells in sealed lead acid batteries. As with most batteries, the fluid level in a SLA battery should stop approximately 1" under the top of the sealed lead acid battery.
