SEC -TLA 2 Volt sealed valve regulated rechargeable batteries are maintenance free. SEC -TLA 2 Volt
range advanced AGM absorbed electrolyte technology ensures reliable performance, safety, outstanding
battery life and value. Batteries have a design life of 15 years at 20oC and comply with BS 6290 Part 4
(with flame retardant V-0 case) EUROBAT (draft IEC 896-2) standards and is a recognized component of
UL 1989 under Standby Battery Category.

* Switchgear
* FLOAT VOLTAGE: 2.25 vpc +/- 1% at 20/25oC
o * Control Systems
* MAX CHARGE VOLTAGE: 2.35 vpc at 20/25 C * Cellular Radio
* SAFETY ONE WAY VALVE: 1-3 p.s.i. self-resealing * Photovoltaic
* TERMINALS: Integral brass insert
* INTERCONNECTS: Copper bar or insulated cable
Valve regulated batteries are fully sealed with the exception of a one way valve that opens when excess
pressure builds up inside the battery and closes when the pressure is released. The recombination of
charge gases is accomplished by allowing oxygen produced at the positive plate to pass through the
separator material to the negative plate where the recombination reaction occurs. The safety valve controls
the internal pressure of the battery to optimize the efficiency of the recombination reaction and minimize the
possible loss of water.
SEC's CELLYTE 2TLA batteries are manufactured using modem technology in a new battery manufacturing
facility. SEC has been able to draw on a wealth of international experience and knowledge to produce high
quality reliable lead acid batteries. The continuing installation of the most modern production equipment in
the world makes continuous product improvement possible.
* Maintenance.
The battery has been designed and built such that no addition of water is needed for the life of the battery
thus there is no need to add water or take specific gravity readings.
* Safety Valve.
If excess pressure builds up within the battery, the safety valve automatically opens and re closes,
releasing the gas at 1-3 p.s.i. The valve does not allow the ingress of oxygen which is harmful and
reduces the life expectation of the battery.

Catalyst Reduces Float Current
One of the most immediate, observable effects of installing
a catalyst in a VRLA cell is a sudden drop in the float current.
Typically float currents are one half or less when a catalyst is
installed. Adding a catalyst to the cell prevents some of the
oxygen reaching the negative plate and allows the negative
plate to stay polarised. This means that less current needs to
be supplied to the cell from the charging system, manifesting
itself as lower float current, leading to the following benefit :-
