Sla Sealed Lead What is the diff. between a SLA battery with normal terminal configuration, and reverse TC...?
...(other than ordering)?
What is the difference between a Sealed Lead Acid battery with normal terminal configuration and one where it is reversed, other than the pos and neg locations being swapped?
If you mean physically, I'd guess the positive plates are a bit different than the negative plates as they're holding lead sulfide most of the time. So they use left-handed plates with the connecting links facing the other way. And the negative plates get the anti-gassing coating since they're naked most of the time. No big deal.
If you mean $$$$-wise. they can probably charge a bit more for the reversed ones as they're less numerous and slower-selling and therefore a bit more expensive to keep in stock.

How to tell the difference between a Wet Cell SLA battery and a Gel Cell SLA battery?
Hello,
I have 2 batteries that say 'Sealed Lead Acid Batteries' and I can't tell if they are Gel Cells or Wet Cells. I have looked at the specifications on the net but I'm still not sure. The Specs don't say Gel Cells but they could be.
How can I make sure?
Thanks,
FFF
normally, wet cells have refill caps on the top of the battery. If they do not have caps to add water, then they would almost have to be gelled (gel) cells.
