Voltage Reading of A New SLA Battery
Voltage Reading of A New SLA Battery
(OP)
I have read in several places that a new SLA battery is shipped completely discharged but there is never any indication of what the voltage reading would be if measured in that state. I assume the battery chemistry would produce some measurable open circuit voltage even if it could not support any meaningful load. Does anyone have some idea what the open circuit voltage would be for a new never charged 12V SLA battery?

I'd not buy SLAs from anyone supplying them "dead".

My apologies for taking up your time.

Flooded non-sealed batteries often come unfilled or "dry charged". They often need to be charged for use and have low cell voltages initially but not SLAs.
Cheers.
