VRLA BATTERIES
VRLA BATTERIES
The INSIDE Story
Chloride has been manufacturing lead acid batteries since he 1930’s, and through the years of development, advance research, and technology transfer, today, we are proud to have the durable, long life, highly reliable, and electrical efficient VRLA battery, such as our AGM, GEL, and the Hybrid Gel that cater to our customers need, and their environment.
Valve (One way valve)
The valve is comprised of a one-way valve made of material such as neoprene. When gas is generated in the battery under extreme overcharge condition due to erroneous charging, charger malfunctions or other abnormalities, the vent valve opens to release excessive pressure in the battery and maintain the gas pressure within specific range (7.1 to 43.6 kPa.). During ordinary use of the battery, the vent valve is closed to shut out outside air and prevent oxygen in the air from reacting with active material in the negative electrodes.
Negative Plate
It is a Lead-tin-calcium alloy grid with a thickness of at least 2.3mm, and filled with spongy lead as its active materials that ensure optimum discharge performance, and long service life.
AGM Separators
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) separator that is used to retain the acid electrolyte or the Gel acid catalyse, and it provides longevity in the battery life through minimal ions loses.
Positive and Negative Electrodes Terminals
Positive and negative electrodes terminals may be faston tab type, bolt fastening type, threaded post type, or lead wire type, depending on the type of the battery. Sealing of the terminal is achieved by a structure which secures long adhesive-embedded paths and by the adoption of strong epoxy adhesives.
Battery Case Materials
Material of CHLORIDE Powersafe AGM Battery Series case is ABS resins. UL94 V0 frame retardant aterial case is optional.
Positive Plate
Radial design lead-tin-calcium alloy grid with a thickness of 3.2mm to 3.6mm, and it’s filled with porous lead dioxide as its active materials that able to deliver the optimum discharge performance.
