Lead acid repair
I expect to be disassembling some SLAs very soon to rebuild, since I
can't get what I'm looking for commercially. Any tips on case disassembly with SLAs? Or on minimum plate thickness for SLAs that will see vibration in use? NT |

NT Now you see what happens when questions are reduced to acronyms If you had said sealed lead acid you may have got an answer instead of every body having fun and giggles (not that there is anything wrong with that) |

, Tabby writes I expect to be disassembling some SLAs very soon to rebuild, since I can't get what I'm looking for commercially. Any tips on case disassembly with SLAs? Or on minimum plate thickness for SLAs that will see vibration in use? Well, it's a shame that there are no answers because my son has just brought me two 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries to look at. I put them on my old traditional transformer + rectifier charger and they pull about 2 amps in, settle back off-charge at about 10 volts, and one section in the middle seems to be hotter than the surrounding area. So, I'd be interested in any info as well. -- Bill |

They should always be charged at constant voltage not on a traditional charger. 2.35v per cell until charged, 2.25 float charge max Stored ones must be charged at least every 6 months. After many attempt to bring leads acis back from the dead I no longer bother. IME they never come back to anything like reliable performance. They can't be realistically opened, the best you can do is to drill down to the connecting straps to connect to individual cells. Bob |

Bob Likely course of action is to set hand held circular saw to very shallow, and cut all around the sides near the top. When done, thinking of regluing it back on with silicone and reinforcing the whole thing with an all round layer of duct tape. A bit bodgy but should do the job - I'm pretty much assuming the case is welded together, not prise-apartable. NT |
