It turns out that Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries are not infact all that well sealed. You can perform maintenance on them much the same as you would any other wet cell battery, such as car batteries. In this instructable I will show you how to do this. What you will need: -Distilled water -Small straight screwdriver -superglue or hot glue
Sealed lead acid batteries, especially those with gel based batteries, have the possibility of acid seeping out and causing corrosion to the materials in the surrounding areas, including the case. As such, batteries with cracked cases should always be replaced immediately.
Although an SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Battery does not leak acid directly, there is a risk that its life-cycle and capabilities will be reduced if the battery ages. Acid may eventually start seeping out and cause corrosion to the surrounding materials, especially with gel based batteries.
Check Electrolyte Levels: Ensure levels are above the plates; add distilled water if necessary. Clean Terminals: Remove corrosion with a mixture of baking soda and water. Inspect Connections: Ensure all connections are tight and free from corrosion. Chart: Maintenance Tasks for Lead-Acid Batteries How can I restore a lead-acid battery?
