Leoch DJW6-5.0 6v replacement sealed lead-acid battery.
Replacement Leoch DJW6-5.0 battery, rechargeable 6v sealed lead AGM batteries, often found in industrial scales and weighing machines.
The battery pack is a sealed, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, with an absorbed glass mat or AGM design. It is widely used in scales and weighing machines in industrial and commercial factories, hospitals, and veterinary surgeries.
It is best to keep this battery from running too low. Try to keep it at a reasonable charge level. It's much better to charge it more often than to let it discharge. When the cells are in a state of discharge or partial discharge, they start to degrade, which will, in the end, shorten the battery's life. Also, if not being used, recharge every six weeks to keep the cells fresh.
With this in mind, could you ensure the charge level is maintained? Many of these weighing scales will be permanently attached to the mains. You may only know there is an issue once you use it in a more portable situation. Generally, this kind of application will enable a longer overall lifespan. If not, please keep this in mind. Use at most 50% of the capacity to prolong usable energy. If you have noticed they are not lasting as long as they used to, consider replacing them sooner rather than waiting until it's too late, as it could reflect on the business.
