Proper charging is critical for maintaining lead-acid battery health and performance. Overcharging or undercharging can lead to premature battery failure and reduced …
When Gaston Planté invented the lead–acid battery more than 160 years ago, he could not have foreseen it spurring a multibillion-dollar industry. Despite an apparently low energy density—30 to 40% of …
From morning commutes to tooling around the golf course on a sunny Saturday afternoon, batteries get your customers where they need to go. The most popular types of batteries for powering vehicles are lead-acid batteries. Though they date back to the 19th century, lead-acid is still the technology drivers rely on most to keep them moving.

Can the Lead-acid Battery Compete in Modern Times?
Sealed lead-acid batteries, also known as SLA batteries, are rechargeable batteries commonly used in various applications such as emergency lighting, wheelchairs, and data centers. They are called sealed because they are designed to prevent leakage of the electrolyte, which is a mixture of sulfuric acid and water.
Guide to charging Sealed Lead Acid batteries
Give the battery a full charge at least once every few weeks, and avoid exposing it to high temperatures. No matter what you do, the active material in the …

Lead-acid batteries lose the ability to accept a charge when discharged for too long due to sulfation, the crystallization of lead sulfate. They generate electricity through a double sulfate chemical reaction. Lead and lead dioxide, the active materials on the battery''s plates, react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate. The lead sulfate first forms in a finely divided, amorphous state and easily reverts to lead, lead dioxide, and sulfuric acid when the battery rech…
Northeast Battery takes a deeper look into what some of the most common mistakes are when it comes to a lead acid battery. Anytime you make a purchase, it''s best to understand the ins and outs of your new product.But, let''s be honest – sitting and reading ...
Lead-acid batteries are widely used in various applications, including vehicles, backup power systems, and renewable energy storage. They are known for their relatively low cost and high surge current levels, making them a …
