Car Battery FAQ

If you have one, the battery in your UPS for your PC has a vented lead acid battery as well. Dave

I am pretty sure they are sealed batteries in your ups. I could be wrong though.

The state-of-the-art lead-acid battery is the valve-regulated type (sometimes called "sealed" or maintenance-free), which fixes the acid electrolyte in a gel or in an absorptive fiberglass mat. The advantage of this design is that the battery needs no water additions, can be operated in any position, and can be used in close proximity to people and sensitive equipment. Additional benefits: maintenance-free,sealed no-leak design, higher cranking amps, lower self-discharge, greater vibration resistance, heavy duty, no-corrosion terminals.
