Replacement Leoch DJW6-5 6v battery, rechargeable sealed AGM batteries often found in industrial scales and other weighing machines.

It is better to keep this battery from running down too far. Try to keep a reasonable charge in it. It would be far better to charge more often than to let it become discharged. When the cells are in a state of discharge or partial, they will start to degrade, which will, in the end, shorten the possible life of the battery. 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 it's used in a more portable situation. Generally, this kind of application will enable a longer overall lifespan. If this is not the case, then please keep this in mind. Could you get it back on charge at the end of a working day? You want to use at most 50% of the capacity to prolong the usable energy level. If you have noticed they are not lasting as long as they used to, consider replacing them rather than wait until it's too late and reflects on the business.
