Overview

The WAYNE WSB1275 is a maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid, rechargeable battery designed for use in sump pump applications. Its construction and sealing technique prevent electrolyte leakage from the terminals or case under normal usage. As a sealed lead-acid battery, it utilizes a recombination process to suppress gases, eliminating the need for water addition. This design also prevents leaks, making it suitable for installations where "wet" batteries cannot be used.

Technical Specifications:

  • Voltage: 12 Volt
  • Amp Hour: 75 Amp Hour
  • Normal Operating Temperature: 77°F (25°C)
  • Charging Temperature Range: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C)

Function Description:

The WSB1275 serves as a reliable power source, particularly for sump pumps, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages. Its maintenance-free design simplifies ownership by removing the need for regular water checks. The battery is intended for cycle operation, meaning it can be repeatedly charged and discharged as the main power source. For optimal performance and longevity in cycle applications, it should be charged using a charger that controls either the charge period or charge quantity, and charging should continue until completion. In trickle or float charge applications (stand-by power), the total voltage should be measured with a high-accuracy voltmeter (Class 0.5 or better) to ensure proper charge levels, as insufficient or overcharge can impact capacity and service life.

Usage Features:

  • Safety First: Users are strongly cautioned against placing the battery in airtight equipment, near heat-generating parts (like transformers), or near devices that may cause sparks (switches, fuses), as these conditions can lead to overheating, gas emission, ignition, or explosion.
  • Proper Charging: Always use a specified charger and adhere to the charging conditions outlined in the manual. Overcharging can cause overheating, hydrogen gas emission, ignition, or bursting.
  • Connection Protocol: When using multiple batteries or connecting to a charger/load, ensure correct mutual connections and firmly connect the positive (+) pole to the positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) pole to the negative (-) terminal. Improper connections can lead to explosion, ignition, or damage.
  • Environmental Considerations: Avoid immersing the battery in water or seawater, as this can cause corrosion, ignition, or electric shock. Do not store the battery in hot weather, direct sunlight, near a stove, or fire, as these conditions can lead to fire or bursting. A dusty environment is not recommended, as dust can cause short circuits; periodic checks are advised in such conditions.
  • Handling Precautions: Exercise extreme caution to avoid dropping the battery, as it is heavy and can cause serious injury. When loading into equipment, mount it in the lowest section for easy checking, maintenance, and replacement. Do not charge the battery in an inverted position, as this may cause leakage from the safety valve. Avoid carrying the battery by its terminals or lead wires, and do not apply strong shocks or jolts during transport.
  • Insulation: Insulate metallic tools (screwdrivers, wrenches) with vinyl tape to prevent short circuits, burns, damage, or explosions. Apply insulation covers to terminals, joint parts, bolts, and nuts to prevent electric shocks.
  • Firm Fastening: Securely fasten batteries to equipment to mitigate the effects of vibration and physical shock.
  • Initial Use: Newly purchased batteries may have lost some capacity due to self-discharge during shipment and storage. It is recommended to recharge them before initial use to restore full capacity. If newly purchased batteries exhibit irregularities (rusting, overheating), do not use them, as continued use could lead to fire or bursting.
  • Discharge Management: Avoid over-discharge. Charge the battery immediately after discharge. Equipment should be designed with a low voltage cut-off circuit to completely stop discharge current, including weak currents, to prevent accelerated deterioration from sulphation.
  • Professional Installation: Installation by skilled personnel (specialists) is recommended to avoid dangerous errors.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: Clean the battery with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no excess water. Do not use dry cloth or a duster, as static electricity can lead to ignition or bursting. Avoid organic solvents (paint thinner, gasoline, kerosene, benzene, liquid detergents) as they can cause the battery case to crack and leak.
  • Regular Checks: Periodically check the battery for any signs of irregularities, such as cracks, deformation, or leakage. Replace damaged batteries immediately. Clean dirty or dusty batteries.
  • Storage: When storing, remove the battery from equipment, disconnect it from the charger/load, and keep it in a cool, low-humidity place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. Charge the battery fully before storage. During storage, charge it at least once every six months (or more frequently in higher ambient temperatures). Storing a discharged battery for a long period can lead to irreversible capacity loss. Use the battery as soon as possible after storage, as its capacity gradually deteriorates.
  • Replacement: Replace the battery within the time period specified in the instruction manual or equipment guidelines. This typically means replacement when capacity has decreased to 50% of the initial capacity at 77°F (25°C) or below. In trickle or float applications, the replacement period shortens by half for every 10°C rise in temperature above 77°F (25°C). Higher discharge currents (above 0.25 CA) also shorten run time and battery life.
  • Disposal: The WSB1275 is fully recyclable and should be accepted at locations that accept common automotive starter batteries, such as county/municipal recycling drop-off centers, scrap metal dealers, and retailers selling automotive replacement lead-acid starter batteries.
