REET 425 Week 1 iLab SLA Batteries
Objectives: ·Learn some basic battery terminology ·Be able to calculate battery run times given the desired DOD or depth of discharge ·Know how batteries can work in series and parallel Parts List: ·12 volt 5Ah SLA battery ·Power Resistor ·SLA-VRLA Documents in Doc Sharing ·12v 5Ah SLA Spec sheet in Doc Sharing ·G4 LED Array Introduction: Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries or valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) have been used for over forty years. They are one of the most economical batteries to use. They are used in mobility (wheelchairs), backup power (alarm systems) and in many solar applications. The basic principles of batteries can be used for multiple chemistries.
