Sla Batteries For Lawn Equipment

As spring is in full swing and the summer months quickly approach

, your attention may be turning to taking care of your lawn and landscaping. When the weather is nice and you have the free time, lawn and garden work can actually be enjoyable. It can be enjoyable, that is, if you have the right tools at your disposal. Having a quality lawnmower can drastically reduce the sweat and strain associated with push-mowing a yard. And having a riding mower can reduce mowing a lawn to little more than a leisurely ride in the breeze. Weed trimmers, edgers, hedge cutters, and other modern conveniences in the area of lawn care and landscaping can reduce the time and effort once synonymous with working outdoors.

As gasoline continues its rise in price, with no drastic price reductions in the near future, many people are turning to electric-powered lawn care devices to use around the house. These devices typically come in one of two configurations. Some have a cord that plugs into a wall outlet and draws directly from the electricity of the house or building. But cords can get in the way while you are trying to work and can significantly limit the range of the tools, basically keeping you tethered to the house. That's why most people opt for the second options, which is a battery-powered device. These devices are lighter than their gas-powered counterparts and make starting and using the machine much simpler. However, as with any battery-powered device, the battery will eventually fail, whether from improper charging or simply a large amount of use. For this reason, you should be aware of the types of batteries you are dealing with with these devices in case you need to replace them. So here is a rundown of the various SLA batteries for lawn eqipment.

Of course, riding lawnmowers typically use gas engines. But they do need a battery if they have a turn-key ignition system. These batteries are basically a smaller version of a car battery, and they are, in fact, sealed lead acid batteries, meaning they require no maintenance. When these batteries fail, which typically happens when the key is left on in storage, they can rarely be revived completely, just like a car battery. Luckily, these batteries are not as expensive as car batteries in general and can be purchased and installed with little trouble.

Weed trimmers are where battery power has really become popular. These devices also use sealed lead acid batteries, although they are quite a bit smaller than those found in lawnmowers. These batteries are typically 12 volts and usually around 7-10 amps. Although higher amperage would allow you to use the device for a longer period of time without having to recharge the battery, the added weight and bulk of the battery in this case would make using the device less than ideal. These batteries allow for an instant-on starting system with no priming the gas, choking the engine, or yanking the pull-start cord.

Many edgers, hedge cutters, and other devices have moved to this same battery configuration. Some, however, take batteries that also fit in power tools. So make sure you know the type of battery you need before you go out and buy an SLA battery automatically.
