![]() Inside, they know there is a controlled chemical reaction that defines the topic of the day – what is the difference between lead-acid, sealed and lithium batteries? The Difference between Sealed and Lead Acid Batteries They see an electrochemical power plant contained in a mostly sealed, rectangular shell. What we see is a price tag and an occasional maintenance chore, however, scientists see something very different. Frankly, unless we drop one on our foot, they are very safe and very dependable until they get old and run out of juice. We know they can be dangerous, although for the most part, as long as they aren’t abused, over-charged or spring a leak, they are safe and reliable – given they have been around since the mid-19th century and we’ve learned how to build them quite well. They have a positive post (an anode) and a negative post (a cathode) that represents the flow of electrons or electricity, because electricity isn’t much to talk about until it reaches its potential and that can happen only when it is flowing from one place to another (in what we call a current). What do we know about them? We know they are heavy. We laypersons call these things batteries. Here’s a hint: One difference lies under the seat of your golf cart, where a golfer generally sees between one and eight heavy plastic blocks connected together with insulated cables, each of these blocks filled with some kind of lead in a solution that churns out electricity when you need it. ![]() Question: What is the difference between a golfer and a scientist – not counting the fact that someone might happen to be both? Depending on the model the case sealing is ultrasonic, epoxy or heat seal.The Differences Between Lead-Acid, Sealed and Lithium Batteries Case and cover are made of non-conductive ABS plastic to UL94-HB like our PS-1270 or UL94 V-0 like our PS-1270 FR. Battery Container & Case SealingĬase and lid material is ABS, high impact, resin with high resistance to chemicals and flammability. The material further offers superior electrolyte absorption and retaining ability, as well as excellent ion conductivity. Power Sonic lead acid battery separators are made of non-woven glass fiber cloth with high heat and oxidation resistance. Vent release pressure is between 2-6 psi the seal ring material is neoprene rubber. The one-way valve not only ensures that no air gets into the battery where the oxygen would react with the plates causing internal discharge, but also represents an important safety device in the event of excessive overcharge. In case of excessive gas pressure build-up inside the battery, the relief valve will open and relieve the pressure. Immobilized dilute sulphuric acid: H2S04. The heavy duty lead calcium alloy grids provide an extra margin of performance and life in both cyclic and float applications and give unparalleled recovery from deep discharge. ![]() Both of these are in a porous or spongy form to optimize surface area and thereby maximize capacity. In the charged state, the negative plate paste is pure lead and that of the positive lead dioxide. Lead dioxide paste is added to the grid to form the electrically active material. The small amount of calcium and tin in the grid alloy imparts strength to the plate and guarantees durability even in extensive cycle service. ![]() Power Sonic utilizes the latest technology and equipment to cast grids from a lead-calcium alloy free of antimony. A special epoxy is used as sealing material surrounding the terminals. Sealed Lead Acid Battery Construction Battery Terminalsĭepending on the model, batteries come either with AMP Faston type terminals made of tin plated brass, post type terminals of the same composition with threaded nut and bolt hardware, or heavy duty flag terminals made of lead alloy. ![]()
