FLOATING:

Support permanent, known as maintenance. It is a tension to keep a battery to be sure it is charged when in use.

The inverter is a typical use of a floating battery.

Charging a battery float must be managed by ultramodern Chargers or specialized integrated circuits.

FR (Flame Retardant), V0:

Acronym FR, or V0 inscribed on the battery. Battery resistant, resistant to heat for use in demanding conditions. The battery complies with UL1778 specifications. Example NP7-12 ENY7-12 FR

VALVE Regulated:

Safety in the event of degassing of the lead battery valve seal. VRLA batteries; are pressurized and are equipped with a valve: when the pressure becomes too much for reasons of overload or temperature high, gases escape.

LEAD ACID BATTERY:

Battery consisting of an Assembly of accumulators lead-sulphuric acid connected in series in order to obtain the voltage desired, and combined in the same housing. There batteries lead whose voltage is: 2V, 4V, 6V, 8V, 12V

VRLA:

Initial VALVE Regulated LEAD ACID Battery - battery lead acid aregulation of gases through valve

Found in the family VRLA 2 technology of lead battery: AGM and GEL

AGM :

"Absorbed Glass Mat"; battery lead with the electrolyte technology is absorbed and locked in blotters fiberglass (boro-silicate), placed between the electrodes.

Ni-Cd:

The name of the rechargeable battery using the oxyhydroxide nickel and cadmium as electrodes. The nickel-cadmium battery or Ni-Cd is an element of 1.2V. (Click here to see comparative NiCd - NiMh - Li - Ion) 

Ni-Mh:

Metallic nickel-hydride battery or NiMH batteries (from the English nickel-metal hydride battery) is a rechargeable electric battery using metal hydride (compound for storing hydrogen) and the electrode nickel oxyhydroxide.
