Is this safe for SLA "Sealed Lead Acid" batteries?

Sealed led-acid is charged the same as vented wet cells. Yes it is safe when operated as directed.

You should NOT use a automobile or motorcycle charger that is specific to Lead/Acid batteries! They can cause damage to the batteries because they charge in a different way than a specific Lifepo4 Lithium Charger. They often have a Desulfinate feature or over voltage "Quick Charging" feature... both of which will damage the Antigravity Battery. Lead Acid charges in many case will overcharge a lithium battery ending up in damage which is not covered under warranty.

The photo appears to be a familiar Lead Acid Battery. If so, these batteries are usually charged when offered for purchase, but not always to 100%. All batteries have a degree of leakage which is normal, and does not mean that the battery is defective if received a volt or two lower than its rated value ....IF... a quick recharge will bring it back to its amp/hr rating under a load test.BTW, shippers should be aware of the hazards and restrictions involving the shipment of some types of charged batteries, especially by Aircraft.

it should I'm using a similar battery pack as long as its 48 volts I'm not sure how long you'll get out of the lithium batteries but it'll work better than a lead acid battery

I've seen this question before and found one particular answer/response very helpful- the charging system of the vehicle you are putting it in used to charge a lead acid battery did it not? I use a solar NOCO trickle charger on mine. NOCO Battery Life BLSOLAR5 5 Watt Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer

As long as it does not have a battery conditioning circuit for lead acid, it should. Battery tender branded chargers will work (as long as they dont have that feature)

Tom, the controller onlt supports Sealed lead acid (agm), Gel, and Flooded. Many companies state that the Lithiums can be a direct replacement for sealed lead acid, however, some of this batteries require a smart charger that cuts all the current into the battery once it's full rather than floating it. Therefore we cannot guarantee that is going to safely charge the battery.

yes . i use mine often on all types of lead acid batteries, mostly associated with boating, fishing needs including deep cycle and maintenance free batteries. i purchased this same charger earlier and was so pleased i got another one for a different location. both have always worked very well !

you can use 3 -12v 10ah sla batteries in series or 1-36v lithium(which are kind of pricey)

I bought these to hold batteries for an electric conversion. They are plenty strong for that. I estimate the SLA battery pack comes in at about 15 lbs, and they could hold more.

I had to find my owners manual, but straight from the owners manual "contains a sealed, non-spillable, lead acid battery. Must be disposed of properly"

Ive never had issues with the acid pack leaking when ordering batteries. It appears to be pretty secure in the package.

The battery in these packs are sealed lead acid AGM (absorbed glass mat). I've replaced the battery in another unit and it wasn't that hard. If you have the pack that looks exactly like the one in the picture here, it's battery is 3.875W X 5.875L X 3.75 H and is rated as 18 amp-hour. With that info you can go to dealers like "Battery plus" or "batteryspec.com" and match up another. When I changed out the battery in another unit, I added some padding as was on the original which cushion the battery keeping it from rubbing on the housing as it's carried or rattling slightly. The battery alone should only cost ~1/2 the price of a whole new pack, so it will save you some (but cost you the time to do it).

Yes, it uses a 'standard' and available sealed lead acid battery. I forget the size but I do know it is a 6V battery. A Batteries Plus store would have it, or even an Ebay seller. You would need to open the product to get the amp hour (AH) rating and also the terminal size. I have opened mine up and know this to be true.

Pretty sure it is sealed lead acid. It would be lighter if one of the others.

Follows battery voltage and the lead-acid discharge curve is very different from lithium. I would not expect it to work very well for that application.

Don't know Fred. Go by the specs. If it says 24V 2 Amps for lead acid batteries, well...why would it not work?Your only concern should be about the type of connector. Good luck
