Lead Acid Batteries Specifications

Help with Lead Acid Batteries specifications:

Performance Specifications

	Voltage		This is the nominal battery voltage.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Capacity, Amp Hours (AH)		Capacity in ampere hours (AH) is the amount of time, from discharge start to finish, multiplied by the discharge current.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)		Cold cranking amps (CCA) is the number of amps the battery can deliver at 0° Fahrenheit for 30 seconds, while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 volts, for a 12 volt battery. The higher the CCA rating, the greater the starting power of the battery.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Reserve Capacity (RC)		Reserve Capacity (RC) is the number of minutes a fully charged battery, at 80 degrees F, will discharge 25 amps until the battery drops below 10.5 volts.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Operating Temperature:		This is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Technology

	Your choices are...
	Flooded (or Wet)		Flooded (or wet) cells are those where the electrodes / plates are immersed in electrolyte. Since gases created during charging are vented to the atmosphere, distilled water must be added occasionally to bring the electrolyte back to its required level. The most familiar example of a flooded lead acid cell is the 12V automobile battery.
	Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)		Absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are a type of sealed lead acid (SLA) or valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery where the electrolyte is immobilized.  A highly porous and absorbent microfiber glass mat, which is partially filled with electrolyte of the desired specific gravity, is used as the separator.
	Gel Cell		Gel cell batteries are a type of sealed lead acid (SLA) battery.  In gel cell batteries, fumed silica is added to the electrolyte, causing it to harden into a gel.  On subsequent charges some water is lost, drying the gel until a network of cracks and fissures develops between the positive and negative electrodes providing a path for the oxygen recombination reaction.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lead acid battery technology.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Dimensions and Weight

	Width / Diameter		This is the width of nonstandard cells, or the diameter of nonstandard cylindrical cell batteries.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Depth		This is the depth of nonstandard batteries.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Height		This is the height of nonstandard batteries.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Weight		This is the overall weight of the battery or battery pack.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Terminations

	Your choices are...
	Screw Type		Terminals that have a threaded rod and accept either an insulated or a metal nut.
	Springs		Terminals are flat metal strips or spirally wound wire.
	Solder		Flat metal surfaces or tabs used for making electrical contact are soldered.
	Bolt-on		A bolted connection to the battery terminals.
	Plug-in Sockets		Terminals that will mate with pins installed on a plug.
	Snap Fasteners		Terminals consisting of a stud and a socket.
	Wire / Cable		Single or multi-stranded wire leads or cable assembly.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary terminal connections.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Applications

	Your choices are...
	General Purpose		Batteries are designed for general-purpose applications.
	Aircraft		Aircraft batteries are FAA or PMA approved and may be lead acid or NiCad devices. They are used in aircraft systems such as emergency power, lighting, and turbine starting.
	Automotive		Automotive batteries are generally lead acid devices that are used for starting-lighting-ignition (SLI) applications.
	Camera / Electronic Cells		Batteries are designed for cameras or other common electronic devices.
	Electric Vehicle		The batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) are rechargeable. They can be lead acid, nickel-iron, NiCad, NiMH, sodium sulfur, lithium, zinc and aluminum air batteries, or flywheels for nonchemical energy storage. Energy density is a main selection criterion for EV batteries.
	Industrial / Forklift		Industrial and forklift type batteries are deep cycle devices.
	Laptop Batteries		Laptop batteries are battery packs made specifically for use in laptop or notebook computers.
	Marine / Recreational Vehicle		There are two kinds of marine or recreational vehicle (RV) batteries: deep cycle marine batteries and starting marine batteries. Both kinds of batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, flooded plate types.
	Medical Equipment		Batteries are designed for use in medical equipment applications including life support, hearing aids, patient lifts, and wheelchairs.
	Implantable Batteries		Batteries are designed for use in implantable medical devices such as pacemakers.
	Military / Aerospace		Batteries are manufactured for military or aerospace applications, often to MIL-SPEC requirements.
	Oil and Natural Gas Industries		Batteries are manufactured for specific applications in the oil and natural gas industries.
	Renewable Energy		These batteries are used where discharging and charging occurs frequently. Solar or photovoltaic (PV) batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, and flooded plate devices.
	Telecommunications		Telecommunications batteries are sealed and maintenance-free. They stay on float charge for long periods of time and deliver high outputs for short durations.
	Toy / Hobby		Batteries are designed for use in high drain toy and hobby applications.
	Stand-by / UPS Batteries		Stand-by batteries are used in applications such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), emergency lighting, alarm systems, and electronic equipment. UPS batteries are sealed and maintenance-free. They stay on float charge for long periods of time and deliver high outputs for short durations.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary applications.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
