Zusammenfassung:This paper reports on the results to date of a birth-to-death trial of selected VRLA batteries operating in 12 V solar powered telecommunications systems in the harsh environment of outback Central Australia. The VRLA batteries in the trial have exhibited performance beyond expectation and appear to exceed the benchmark performance of the vented lead-acid battery traditionally used in this application.
