Contamination in sealed and VRLA batteries usually originates from the factory when the battery is being produced. In flooded lead-acid batteries, contamination can result from accumulated dirt on top of the battery and when the battery is being watered. Watering the battery with tap water has a serious consequence on the battery.
Vibration Vibration is another major reason for battery failure. Excessive vibration can cause the battery’s internal plates to shift and become damaged, leading to a breakdown in the battery’s structure and causing short circuits within the battery. Vibration also accelerates corrosion, which leads to premature failure.
In these older lead acid battery models, water is responsible for carrying the electrolyte as it circulates. During the charging process when, for example, your car is running, water is slowly lost as it evaporates due to heat. In hotter climates, this effect is more pronounced.
As routine maintenance, you should always check the battery electrolyte levels and ensure that the battery cells are always covered. Sealed and valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are designed in such a way that the gases released from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte, recombine back to form water. 3. Thermal Runaway
With time, the exposed battery plates will suffer sulfation and oxidation that will lead to eventual battery failure. As routine maintenance, you should always check the battery electrolyte levels and ensure that the battery cells are always covered.
Here at MK Battery, we only sell sealed lead acid batteries, where absorbed glass mats (AGM) or gel is used to conduct electricity between cells, rather than water. This means less maintenance for you, and better stability and safety for the battery itself.
