Technical Details of Dyna-Fog 6 V DC Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
Sealed Construction
- SLA batteries unique construction and sealing technique guarantee
that no electrolyte leakage can occur from the terminals or case of any battery. This feature
insures safe, efficient operation of SLA battery in any position.
Electrolyte Suspension System
- All SLA batteries utilize an electrolyte suspension system
consisting of a glass fiber separator material. This suspension system allows maximum life
and service.
Gas Generation
- Batteries have a unique design that effectively controls generation of gas
and allows recombination within the battery over 99% of gas generated during normal usage.
Maintenance Free Operation
- During the expected five years float service life of SLA
batteries, there is no need to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte, or add water. In
fact, there is no provision for these maintenance functions.
Low Pressure Venting System
- SLA batteries are equipped with a safe, low pressure
venting system, which operates at 7 psi to 10 psi, designed to release excess gas and reseal
automatically in the event that gas pressure rises to a level above the normal rate.
Cyclic Service Life
- Depending upon the average depth of discharge, over 1,000
discharge/ recharge cycles can be expected from batteries
Low Self Discharge
- At room temperature, its self-discharge rate of SLA batteries is
approximately 3% of rated capacity per month.
Operating Temperature Range
- SLA batteries may be used over a broad range of ambient
temperatures.
Optional Sealed Lead Acid Battery Available
– Allows extended operation where traps
cannot be maintained on a daily basis. Contact Curtis Dyna-Fog for more information.
Dyna-Fog offers an optional power source that can be used, a rechargeable 6
volt 12 Amp-Hour battery, which allows longer operation time of the Light trap
between charging periods.
Be sure to observe that the battery is installed and connected with the proper
polarity to assure proper operation and prevent damage to the trap.

CAUTION
As DC current is
unidirectional, wire
leads are coded: the
ribbed wire goes to the
(+) and the smooth wire
goes to the (-) polarity.
The plastic housing of
the connectors are also
coded, the tab goes to
the (+) polarity.
Orienting the wires in
the wrong direction will
prevent the unit from
operating properly.
