Guest Dave the alarm man Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 very nice work, but not that happy about the upended battery (which is still upended in later picture) don't do it any good and more likely to topple out on to engineer. total ****.............. An SLA battery will work in any orientation with out lossing performance or electrolyte leakage *Except* upside down (continuous use) as gas can't vent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpye Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 total ****..............An SLA battery will work in any orientation with out lossing performance or electrolyte leakage You don't look at many batteries then, have seen many (leaking) since these came on to the market (all brands), just the same, but not as bad as the old 'dry' batteries we used to use. You do remember them, don't you? By the way, always worse if standing on an end. Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

arfur mo Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It's hardly going to fall out! it's that silly clumsy moment when something distracts the engineer, like a highly taxing and technical question from the client "1 lump or 2 in the tea" or "plain or milk chocolate biscuits?" etc or perhaps the cables or meter leads snag on it. for whatever reason, it happen's so a cable tie only costing pennies against a few day (or weeks) off work cost's........................ mind you, i did once drop a 2amp on a clients dog after it had a go at my ankles "accidentally" of course regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest Dave the alarm man Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You don't look at many batteries then, they are designed to work in any orientation, ask the manufacturer there are many thing like mopeds, fire alarms, end station & stairlifts that I have seen with my very own eye's which only take their battey end on....... but not as bad as the old 'dry' batteries we used to use. too young for the everyready 6 volt battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooly-bobs Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I thought it was best to fit them with the contacts to the bottom so the electric stuff falls out on demand, also ensures that the last drop of power is squeezed out much the same way as leaving a sauce bottle upside down when nearly empty.........
