General Purpose Batteries
General purpose batteries are rechargeable energy storage devices designed to deliver reliable direct current (DC) power across a wide range of applications. RSP Supply offers general purpose batteries in 12V, 6V, and 4V configurations from trusted manufacturers such as BB Batteries and PowerSonic. These batteries are commonly used in backup power systems, emergency lighting, communication equipment, and other standby power applications.
Most general purpose batteries fall under the category of secondary (rechargeable) batteries, meaning they can be discharged and recharged multiple times. Among rechargeable battery technologies, lead-acid batteries remain one of the most widely used. General purpose batteries are typically sealed lead-acid designs, also referred to as VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) or SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries. Their sealed construction allows for maintenance-free operation and flexible installation in various orientations. General purpose VRLA batteries are engineered to provide consistent performance and dependable service life when used within their specified electrical and environmental limits.
