SWL SERIES - SWL2500

SWL Valve Regulated
Lead-Acid Batteries (VRLA)
The SWL range is an enhanced NPL design resulting
in an improved energy to density ratio, giving up to
40% extra discharge capacity. All other attributes and
operational characteristics are the same, thereby
maintaining the benefit of a common mechanical and
electrical design for users of both products.

FEATURES General Specifications

CAUTION
- Avoid short circuit.
- Do not charge in a sealed container.
- Service life and operational characteristics will be
affected by temperature.
- AC Ripple reduces service life.

WARNING!
SWL (Standard) and (FR) battery types SWL1850;
SWL1850-6; SWL2500, must never be installed per-
manently suspended by their handles; they are not
designed for this purpose.
