What Is the Difference Between a Standard Battery and a VRLA Battery?
Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries are commonly referred to as sealed lead acid batteries, and are lead-acid based rechargeable batteries that
wall decorsrequire little to no maintenance. A common feature to this type of battery is as the name implies, they
are always manufactured to be a sealed battery with acaterpillar drive chain built in safety
pressure relief valve. If the sealed lead acid battery were to ever be inverted or in any other position than upright, the battery is
custom decalsincapable of leaking and cannot spill its electrolyte (battery acid).
Also, when the typical lead-acid based battery is recharged at a mild to high voltage, Seamless
underwearit will emit gases which can be considered dangerous if emitted in large quantities. Since the VRLA battery is sealed, when the battery is put
on charge it vinyl decalsrelies on its built in pressure release valve to alleviate the
pressure from the gases which build up inside the battery. The release valve emits small tracegarcialili amounts of
these gases and has enabled any VRLA battery to be placed in small units (such as battery backup systems) inside buildings or offices without
X458worrying about harmful gasses being emitted. These batteries are further divided into two sub
groups know as absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries and the gel overhead conveyorbattery.The AGM battery differs
from other lead-acid batteries because it uses a glass mat separator to hold its electrolytes in place. zll
