| Small and compact are these electrical powerhouses | | | | • Computer backup |
| that make our day-to-day life so easy and | | | | • Emergency lighting |
| manageable. It is environmentally safer to use the | | | | • Telephone switching |
| rechargeable batteries, as you reduce the toxic | | | | • Cable television |
| waste that occurs when you throw out the used | | | | Unusual Demanding Applications: |
| batteries. It is important that you dispose of the | | | | • Race cars |
| discharged batteries in the correct and instructed | | | | • Wet environments |

| Let’s discuss some of the uses of batteries | | | | • Marine and RV starting |
| Today VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) batteries are | | | | • Off-road vehicles |
| being substituted in a number of applications because | | | | • Diesel and I.C.E. starting |
| of their well regulated charging, avoidance of leakage | | | | Flooded Batteries: |
| of the electrolytes and are also used where the | | | | Flooded lead acid batteries are most commonly used |
| traditional flooded batteries cannot be used. | | | | in both the marine and automotive industries. These |
| VRLA batteries are suited for the following | | | | batteries are generally less expensive than the AGM |
| applications: | | | | or Gel battery, but do not offer the same shelf life. |
| Deep Discharge, Deep Cycle Applications: | | | | Most flooded batteries require regular maintenance |
| • Sailboats | | | | and the electrolyte levels always need to be |
| • Electronics | | | | maintained above the cell’s plates. |
| • Marine trolling | | | | Deep Cycle Batteries: |
| • Golf carts | | | | Deep cycle batteries are designed to supply all the |
| • Portable powers | | | | accessory power without having immediate |
| • Floor scrubbers | | | | replacement charge from an alternator or a |
| • Wheelchairs | | | | generator. Unlike car batteries, deep cycle batteries |
| • Personnel carriers | | | | are constructed with thicker grids of antimony lead |
| • Marine and RV house power | | | | alloy and have a denser paste to active material so it |
| • Commercial deep cycle applications | | | | can withstand discharge and recharge cycles. This |
