Abstract :
This paper explores some effects that today´s operating environments have on valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries and gives suggestions for maximizing VRLA battery life in these environments. Specifically, this paper discusses the effects of temperature and float voltage on float current and positive plate and relates these effects to the expected life of the battery
