What is a VRLA Battery?

A Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery is simply a lead-acid battery with an immobilized electrolyte that allows hydrogen and oxygen to be recombined. It is named after its sealed construction with pressure release valves that prevent gases from escaping.

Because the electrolyte is no longer in a fluid state, either because it has been mixed with silica powder to form a gel or because it has been absorbed into a finely textured glass mat, the gases produced are no longer free to form bubbles and rise to the electrolyte's surface. Instead, they are trapped in the immobilised matrix and are forced to travel to the opposite poles by the pressure gradient created when on charge. In a free liquid, this would be impossible.

As the batteries retain and recombine the oxygen and hydrogen produced during charging, they do not require water replenishment during their guaranteed life.

In addition to the lack of maintenance, the ability to seal the battery prevents the release of combustible hydrogen. Other advantages of electrolyte immobilization include no spilling or leaking of corrosive acid, which makes handling and transport safer. These benefits are obvious to businesses and consumers, making this technology far more user friendly than flooded lead-acid batteries. Because of its ability to operate on its side, it can save money in commercial operations by removing gas extraction equipment and make better use of available storage space,giving more flexible installation options.

There are two types of VRLA Batteries: the Gel Cell and the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM).

Types Of Lead-Acid Batteries-

Two major lead-acid battery types include:

• Flooded lead-acid batteries
• Sealed lead-acid batteries (VRLA battery or Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid battery)

A flooded lead-acid battery (wet lead-acid battery) has removable caps for topping up with distilled water, whereas a sealed lead-acid battery is sealed at the top and does not allow access to the inside compartment.

Because the electrolyte is sealed inside, the battery can withstand a predetermined number of cycles without the need for distilled water.

Applications of Lead-Acid Battery-

Around 70% of lead-acid batteries are used for vehicles, 21% for communications, and 4% of lead-acid batteries are used for other applications.

Basic uses of lead-acid batteries include-

1. Transportation

2. Motive power

3. Reserve Power

The Starting, Lighting, and Ignition (SLI) battery is the most commonly used lead-acid battery in automobiles. SLI batteries, which are smaller than industrial batteries, are intended to start, run, and maintain the energy-consuming processes of an automobile.

Cleaning machines, electric material-handling trucks (aerial work platforms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), forklift trucks, and pallet trucks), and other industrial battery-powered or hybrid vehicles use motive power batteries.

General electronics, IT, telecommunications, utilities, uninterruptible power supplies, and specialty applications requiring standby power use reserve power batteries.

Conclusion

Finally, lead-acid batteries remain a popular choice for many applications. What distinguishes lead-acid batteries from other battery chemistries? Their affordability, dependability, recyclability, and safety make them an excellent choice in the battery industry.

Overall, the growing automotive and other applications will drive lead-acid battery demand in the battery industry.

 FAQ-

What does VRLA mean on a battery?

Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid

VRLA stands for Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid and is the designation for low-maintenance lead-acid rechargeable batteries. Because of their construction, VRLA batteries do not require regular addition of water to the cells.

What are the benefits of a VRLA battery?

The VRLA batteries are leak-proof and will not leak even if the container is cracked or broken. In these sealed lead-acid batteries, a glass-mat separator absorbs the electrolyte and holds it between the lead plates. Because the acid electrolyte is held by the absorbent mat, the battery will not leak or spill.

Which is better, a VRLA or a lead-acid battery?

Cost-effective. Although SMF and VRLA batteries may have a higher upfront cost than traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, they are more cost-effective in the long run due to their longer service life and low maintenance requirements.

Are VRLA batteries good for solar?

In small scale off-grid applications, we recommend using a VRLA battery that is designed for solar. Our most popular battery for off-grid use is the 200ah GEL VRLA battery, as it offers a great balance.

Where is VRLA battery used?

One result of this design is a much higher ratio of power to “floorspace” than large, flooded type battery systems; another is a high-rate power capacity, though of relatively short duration. As a result, VRLA batteries are frequently employed in UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or other high-rate applications.

Is VRLA battery dry or wet?

A VRLA battery is a “recombinant” battery. This means that the oxygen normally produced on the positive plates of all lead-acid batteries is absorbed by the negative plate. This suppresses the production of hydrogen at the negative plate. Water (H2O) is produced instead, retaining the moisture within the battery.

Can VRLA battery be recharged?

For charging the valve-regulated lead-acid battery, a well-matched charger should be used because the capacity or life of the battery is influenced by ambient temperature, charge voltage and other parameters. Cycle use is to use the battery by repeated charging and discharging in turn.

How long does VRLA battery last?

3 to 10 years

VRLA batteries are typically available with a design life ranging from 3 to 10 years. Longer life batteries generally cost more due to increased plate thickness or more costly materials. - Temperature. Elevated temperatures reduce battery life.
