The Hidden Cause of VRLA Battery Failure
VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead-Acid) batteries, common in equipment like scissor lifts, floor cleaners, and golf carts, are maintenance-free but highly susceptible to permanent damage from deep discharge. Two behaviours contribute to frequent, early battery failure. First, natural parasitic loads and self-discharge cause batteries in idle machines to slowly over-discharge. Second, operators often use a vehicle until the battery is flat before moving on, leaving the discharged machine to degrade. Even the highest quality VRLA battery can be rendered useless by a single major deep discharge event, leading to rapid degradation, stranded equipment, and costly, premature replacements.
The Low Voltage Alert Solution
The Low Voltage Alert (LVA) is designed to break this cycle of damage and replacement. This monitoring device actively tracks the battery's voltage and provides immediate, critical alerts when the battery needs charging to prevent damage. When the state of charge is acceptable, the LVA provides a non-intrusive flashing green signal. However, if the battery drops below the critical charge threshold, the LVA activates a highly effective, multi-sensory warning system.
Clear Warning & Doubled Battery Life
When a critical charge is required, the LVA emits a loud audible warning tone, flashes red, and displays an illuminated charger plug icon. This universal visual cue ensures that any operator in the vicinity can immediately understand that action is necessary, no special instruction is required. By ensuring that operators return discharged machines for charging rather than abandoning them, the LVA eliminates the primary cause of VRLA battery degradation. Using the LVA enables you to double the useful life of your VRLA batteries, allowing businesses to avoid premature battery replacements and start saving money.
Easy to Understand
With its bright orange and red warning LED's and shrill audible alarm, operators can easily understand what they need to do when they see or hear the alert.
Simple Installation
Connect two wires to power, and the LVA will autodetect the battery voltage. A reverse connection will not damage the LVA.
Fully Classified
The LVA holds both the CE Mark and UKCA Mark, ensuring its safety.
Designed for the toughest environments
All materials of LVA are corrosion-resistant, and the low-profile design prevents damage from battery cables and other hazards. The LVA has been engineered to last the life of the battery.
Inexpensive & Cost-Effective
One major over-discharge event can kill a VRLA battery, which prevents it from delivering a rapid ROI after the first alarm sounds.
Self-powered
The LVA is powered by the battery on which it is installed and uses a minimal amount of energy (less than 3 mA), which won’t reduce performance or battery life and will not trigger the low voltage alert automatically.
