What is a valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery?

This includes valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries. A VRLA battery with a valve as a safety mechanism is sealed. A sealed battery weighing 4kg or below, which is not an automotive or industrial battery, is a portable battery. A VRLA battery is designed to: A VRLA is not a vented battery. Vented batteries are designed to:

What is the batteries regulation?

The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.

Which batteries should be labelled?

Rechargeable portable batteries, LMT batteries, and SLI batteries should be labelled with the battery’s capacity. b. Non-rechargeable portable batteries should be labelled with the phrase “non-rechargeable. c. Batteries containing over 0.004% lead and 0.002% cadmium should be labelled with their respective chemical symbols (e.g., “Pb”, “Cd”).

What is the IEC/EN Guide to Valve Regulated Lead-acid batteries?

This guide to IEC/EN standards aims to increase the awareness, understanding and use of valve regulated lead-acid batteries for stationary applications and to provide the ‘user’ with guidance in the preparation of a Purchasing Specification.

What are the different types of rechargeable batteries?

Rechargeable battery types include lead-acid, lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium batteries. In 2018, lead-acid batteries (LABs) provided approximately 72 % of global rechargeable battery capacity (in gigawatt hours).

What are the restricted substances in portable batteries?

The restricted substances are as follows: a. Batteries should not contain more than 0.0005% of mercury by weight. b. Portable batteries should not contain more than 0.002% of cadmium by weight. c. Portable batteries should not contain more than 0.01% of lead by weight.
