TYPE SLA Standby SLA (Sealed Lead Acid)
Normally permanently on charge. Used in standby
applications: alarm systems, power supplies, stair lifts
etc. To measure the Ah capacity available in standby SLA
batteries, adjust the Ah calibration control to the ‘zero’
position as shown. NB: This position is calibrated to
common standby SLA batteries. If required, Ah adjustment can be made to
suit any specic brand. Refer to ‘Calibrating to Non Standard Battery Types’
section for guidance.
TYPE GEL Cyclic GEL (Gelied Electrolyte)
Normally charged then discharged repeatedly. Often
used in mobility scooters and golf trolleys etc. These
batteries are specied GEL technology. If it doesn’t state
‘GEL’ on the battery, it should be tested as a standby
SLA battery as shown. To measure the Ah capacity
available in cyclic GEL technology batteries, adjust the
Ah calibration control to the ‘+’ position shown above.
