Sealed lead batteries are the most modern types of the batteries that we have today which were first invented in 1970s. They are specially made and compared to the unsealed battery, they very much advanced technologically. They are designed to operate in what is popularly known as maintenance-free condition. You do not have to open the caps while charging to release the gas. This is problem have been solved by keeping the minimum content inside the battery under a slight pressure. By doing this, the gas produced while charging is condensed into liquid form back to the battery plates. This means that very little acid is used and thus there is no need to replenish the battery with acid in future. This has been the main principle that has made the sealed lead acid batteries very popular among many.

Today, sealed lead acid batteries are the trend in the market. Their applications are all and everyone is using them. Make a guess where you have it, they popularly used in car or a motorcycle. these two areas are the biggest consumers of this product. That battery that your phone is using applies the principle of sealed lead acid battery. Another area where you may be having these batteries is in the Uninterruptable power supply (UPS) which are the backup power supplies of the computer systems.

These batteries have incredible charge retention and they can go for days not only in vehicles but also in other areas. They have found good use in some of the most sensitive areas including the hospitals’ ICUs, research sensitive laboratories and also much in the aeronautical field. These are places that require very strong power backups and these sealed batteries are the perfect choice. They are also used in emergency lighting and on wheelchairs. They are very efficient, effective and last longer while they are used in stationary conditions with less or no movement.

Sealed lead acid batteries are designed to cost less, give dependable services and be maintenance-free to satisfy the market needs and demand. Although they have low energy density and rated as environmentally unfriendly, their plenty of advantages out ways these cons by far. They are very reliable and once you have it, you are guaranteed quality services. Always remember to store them in a charged condition and you will indeed enjoy their service for a long period of time.

If you need a new battery for your car, bike, truck or boat then please give us a call on 1300 468 931. We offer 24/7 free delivery and installation on all batteries.

However, lead also comes with its disadvantages. When deep cycled, it is heavier and less durable compared to the lithium and nickel- based systems. When it is completely discharged, it causes a strain, and every charge/discharge cycle steals the battery of a little amount of its capacity, and that too permanently. While the battery is in proper working condition, this loss is quite small, but when the performance reaches half its normal capacity, the fading keeps increasing. All batteries experience this type of wear-down, though in different degrees.

Lead batteries, depending on the discharge depth, offers 200 to 300 charge/discharge cycles for deep-cycle applications. The main reasons behind its comparative shorter life cycle are exhaustion of active material, grid corrosion on positive electrode, and because of the positive plates experiencing expansion. Such changes are most prevalent at high-current discharges and elevated operating temperatures.

It is very easy to charge lead batteries, but it is very important to maintain the right voltage limits, and here there are some concerns. If a low voltage is chosen to charge the battery, it will indeed shelter the battery, but lead to a poor performance and there will be sulfation build up on the batter’s negative plate. If, however, high voltage is chosen, the performance will be improved but the positive plate of the battery will experience grid corrosion. It is possible to reverse sulfation if timely services are opted for, but corrosion stays permanent.

Lead based batteries do not get charged very fast, and in most cases, a complete charge will need about 14 to 16 hours. It is important to store the battery at complete state-of-charge. If the charge is low, it can lead to sulfation, and this can steal the battery of its proper performance. If carbon is added on the battery’s negative electrode, this problem can be reduced, but the specific energy will also be lowered.

Lead based batteries have a reasonable life span and unlike the nickel-based systems, are not subject to memory. The rechargeable batteries are the best ones to retain charge. In just three months, NiCd loses about 40 percent of stored energy, but the same amount is self-discharged by the lead batteries in one year. Lead based batteries works best in cold temperatures, and in subzero conditions, it proves to be better than lithium-ion. Lead batteries offer great environmental advantage if they are recycled at extraordinarily high rate. No other chemistry can come close to the infrastructure that exists for transporting, collecting and recycling the lead based batteries.

Absorbent Glass Mat Batteries offer a very low internal resistance, and can deliver high levels of current. Also the battery offers a long lifespan, is practically maintenance free and provides better electrical reliability than standard flooded acid batteries. It can withstand low temperatures and has a very slow self-discharge. Another big factor is the charge time, which is 5 times faster than the flooded type battery. AGM batteries have the ability to deep cycle. The depth of discharge offered by Absorbent Glass Mat batteries is close to 80 percent, while the flooded lead acid version is quoted at 50 percent to reach the exact cycle life.

The slight disadvantage that an Absorbent Glass Mat battery poses is the slightly lower levels of specific energy. Also the manufacturing cost involved in making this battery is higher the flooded variety. The best AGM batteries are in the 30 – 100Ah rage and hence may be less suitable for large UPS assemblies. Absorbent Glass Mat Batteries are built to required dimensions and can be found in top quality vehicles to provide energy to power energy hungry devices like mirrors, steering wheels, heated seats and windshields. Competitive car racing competitions chose Absorbent Glass Mat Batteries because they are vibration resistant and can perform well at extreme pressure.

AGM batteries are also the preferred battery for high end motorcycles. Since the whole battery is sealed in a spill proof body it reduces acid spill during an accident, is easy to install on the vehicle at odd angles and lowers the total weight. Because the battery is resistant to cold temperatures it also finds use in motor home, robotic and marine applications. Since the introduction of the electrical starter motor by Cadillac, lead acid became the primary choice to start up the engine. But the flooded type is not strong enough to handle multiple start stop routines for an extended period. Hence AGM batteries are preferred in this regard.

An Absorbent Glass Mat Battery like most batteries dislikes excess heat and should be installed at a distance from the engine component. If the battery core reaches a temperature of about 49 degree Celsius, you should halt the charge immediately. AGM batteries do not need a topping charge as regularly as the normal flooded type and can be kept in storage for a long period before there is any risk of buildup. Hence Absorbent Glass Mat Batteries are an excellent substitute to the flooded variety.

If you need an AGM battery and want it delivered to your location in 50 minutes at the best prices then please give us a call now on 1300 468 931.

Royal Enfield has a history of producing motorcycles for military purposes with its first government contract given by the Imperial Russian Government and the British War Department in the 1914. The brand continued producing motorbikes for military purposes even in the World War 2 along with manufacturing mechanical ‘predictors’ for anti-aircraft guns. Royal Enfield also won a contract with the Indian government which ordered 800 motorcycles from the company. This also led to the founding of Enfield of India, which now owns the brand.

If you have come across royal enfield fans then you probably would have also caught the word ‘Bullet’ being mentioned sometimes. This ‘Bullet’ is actually the Royal Enfield Bullet – The longest production motorcycle in the history. Over 65 years have passed but the design holds a great value for many bike enthusiasts. In fact there is little or no design change in the production model of today and the one which was produced back in 1948. The name is another representation of the company’s legacy of manufacturing small arms and other weaponry equipment. A collector’s choice, this 350cc bike can give you a sense of pride and wonder which no other bike can.

During the 60s Enfield Cycle Company was facing an onslaught of jJapanesemotorbikes, which were exterminating the value of Royal Enfields. The company made a last ditch attempt by producing the the Royal Enfield Interceptor which was very well received around all markets, especially the US. However the production capacity was small and unable to meet the demands, thereby losing its market share and ultimately leading to the demise of the original company. The last 200 interceptors engines were lying in the docks of birmingham, waiting to be shipped to US, but the sudden and unfortunate death of Floyd Clymer left the engines to be disposed off. This led to the limited run of Rickman interceptors which were produced by Rickman Brothers.

The Enfield, like any other motorbike relies on its components like the battery to keep on running smoothly. If you need to replace or service your Royal Enfield motorcycle battery then call us at 1300 468 931 and we will help you out, no matter where you are.
