Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about VRLA AGM Batteries



  1. What are VRLA AGM batteries?
    • VRLA AGM batteries are a type of sealed lead-acid battery that uses an absorbent glass mat to contain the electrolyte, making them spill-proof and maintenance-free.
  2. What are the advantages of VRLA AGM batteries?
    • They are maintenance-free, spill-proof, have a long service life, provide reliable power, and can be mounted in any position.
  3. How do VRLA AGM batteries work?
    • These batteries use a valve to regulate the internal pressure and an absorbent glass mat to hold the electrolyte, allowing for recombination of gases and reducing the need for water replenishment.
  4. What are the typical applications of VRLA AGM batteries?
    • They are commonly used in UPS systems, telecommunications, emergency lighting, medical equipment, and automotive applications.
  5. How do I maintain a VRLA AGM battery?
    • VRLA AGM batteries are designed to be maintenance-free. However, regular charging and avoiding deep discharges can help prolong their life.
  6. What is the lifespan of a VRLA AGM battery?
    • According to Eurobat standards, the lifespan of VRLA AGM batteries typically ranges between 5 to 10 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
  7. Can VRLA AGM batteries be used in any orientation?
    • Yes, they can be mounted in any position without the risk of leakage.
  8. What is the difference between VRLA AGM and Gel batteries?
    • AGM batteries use an absorbent glass mat to contain the electrolyte, while Gel batteries use a gel-like substance. AGM batteries generally have a higher power output and are better for high-drain applications.

 

  1. How should VRLA AGM batteries be charged?
    • They should be charged using a charger specifically designed for VRLA AGM batteries to avoid overcharging and damage.
  2. Are VRLA AGM batteries safe?
    • Yes, they are designed to be safe and are equipped with safety valves to prevent overpressure and leaks.
  3. What are the common causes of VRLA AGM battery failure?
    • Common causes include overcharging, deep discharging, high temperatures, and physical damage.
  4. How do I dispose of a VRLA AGM battery?
    • VRLA AGM batteries should be recycled properly at a designated recycling facility to avoid environmental harm.
