A sealed battery is a liquid electrolyte battery equipped with a system to prevent the evaporation of the water contained in the electrolyte, by gas recombination. These batteries do not require maintenance, and are often called VRLA for "Valve Regulated Lead-Acid batteries".

Advantages Disadvantages
Reduces explosive gas production, water loss and leakage. Does not allow maintenance or control.
Requires less maintenance. Imposes a perfectly regulated load according to the temperature to avoid gas losses by excessive pressure.
