2. VRLA battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

   A 12V VRLA battery, typically used in small uninterruptible power supplies and emergency lamps. A valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) battery, commonly known as a sealed lead–acid (SLA) battery, [1] is a type of lead–acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte ("starved" electrolyte) absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel; proportioning of the negative and ...

3. Battery regenerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_regenerator

   Lead reacts with the acid by taking in two electrons, leaving it negative while also producing lead sulfate. The two chemical processes continue as long as an external circuit is available to allow the electrons to flow back into the positive plates, but reaches equilibrium quickly when the battery is disconnected from the circuit.

4. Battery recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_recycling

   The lead in a lead–acid battery can be recycled. Elemental lead is toxic and should therefore be kept out of the waste stream. Lead–acid batteries collected by an auto parts retailer for recycling. The casing of a lead–acid battery is often made of either polypropylene or ABS, which can also be recycled, although there are significant ...

5. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

   During the 1970s, researchers developed the sealed version or gel battery, which mixes a silica gelling agent into the electrolyte (silica-gel-based lead–acid batteries used in portable radios from the early 1930s were not fully sealed). This converts the formerly liquid interior of the cells into a semi-stiff paste, providing many of the ...

6. Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-Containing_and...

   In the United States, the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act (the Battery Act) (Public law 104-142) [1] was signed into law on May 13, 1996. The purpose of the law was to phase out the use of mercury in batteries and to provide for the efficient and cost-effective collection and recycling, or proper disposal, of used nickel cadmium batteries, small sealed lead-acid ...

7. Recovery effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_effect

   The KiBaM battery model [3] describes the recovery effect for lead-acid batteries and is also a good approximation to the observed effects in Li-ion batteries. [1] [4] In some batteries, the gains from the recovery life can extend battery life by up to 45% by alternating discharging and inactive periods rather than constantly discharging. [5]
