EnerSys Lead Acid Batteries: Proven Performance

The lifespan of EnerSys lead-acid batteries varies based on usage and maintenance. Under typical conditions, they can last between 5 to 10 years. Proper maintenance and operating within recommended parameters can help maximize battery life.

Regular maintenance includes:

• Inspecting for any signs of damage or wear.
• Ensuring the battery is kept clean and dry.
• Checking for and cleaning any corrosion on terminals.
• Verifying that the battery is charged appropriately.

It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific maintenance procedures.​

Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries, such as AGM and gel types, can be installed in various orientations except upside down. However, flooded lead-acid batteries should remain upright to prevent electrolyte leakage.​

Safety measures include:

• Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and safety glasses.
• Avoiding open flames or sparks near the battery, as they can emit hydrogen gas.
• Ensuring proper ventilation in the battery storage area.
• Following proper procedures for charging and discharging.​

Always consult the safety data sheet (SDS) provided by EnerSys for detailed safety information.​

When not in use, EnerSys lead-acid batteries should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment—ideally between 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F). Batteries should be kept fully charged before storage and recharged every 6 months for VRLA or 3 months for Flooded batteries to prevent sulfation and capacity loss. Avoid storing batteries in a discharged state or in extreme temperatures, as this can significantly reduce their lifespan and performance. Always follow the manufacturer’s storage guidelines for the specific battery model.

• VRLA Batteries (AGM or Gel) are sealed, require minimal maintenance, and can be installed in various orientations (except upside down).
• Flooded Batteries require periodic maintenance such as electrolyte level checks and are typically used in environments where long service life and high reliability are essential.

Yes. When integrated with appropriate monitoring and maintenance practices, EnerSys batteries can support compliance with NERC PRC-005-6 and TPL-001-5 standards related to DC supply and battery continuity requirements in utility applications.

While the batteries themselves do not have built-in monitoring, Eagle Eye Power Solutions offers compatible battery monitoring systems, digital hydrometers, and load banks that can be used alongside EnerSys batteries for real-time performance tracking and testing.
