During the production of Orema sealed lead acid batteries, a plate short-circuit test is conducted. This test is an essential step in the VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid) battery manufacturing process. The purpose of the test is to detect any potential short circuits within the battery plates. To perform the test, a series of inspections and measurements are carried out. The battery plates, which consist of positive and negative lead grids coated with active materials, are carefully examined for any physical defects or abnormalities. Each plate is inspected to ensure there are no loose or damaged components that could cause a short circuit. In the event of a short circuit, appropriate corrective actions are taken to rectify the issue before proceeding with the battery assembly. Identifying and addressing plate short circuits ensures the overall performance and safety of Orema VRLA batteries, as they can lead to reduced capacity, increased self-discharge, and even thermal runaway.
