The Bright Way Group BW 685 is a 6-volt 8.5Ah sealed lead-acid battery that is brand new and ready to replace your existing battery (regardless of the original manufacturer).

This is a 6-volt (6v) battery. You should ensure that your current battery is a 6v battery. You can combine multiple 6v batteries in series if your equipment needs a higher voltage. (Reference your product's manual for further details.)

The capacity of the battery is measured in amp hours (Ah), and this is a 8.5Ah battery.

The model number of this battery is BW 685. Sealed lead-acid batteries (SLA) come in two variants: either gel or absorbent glass mat — this indicates the material inside the battery itself. This battery is the AGM variant.

This battery has an F1 terminal. (Other terminal options may be available. See the difference between terminals.)

All SLA batteries are maintenance-free, can be used in any orientation, and are leakproof. They are exceedingly safe because they use a valve regulator to safely vent pressure. (You may see SLA batteries also referred to VRLA, valve-regulated lead-acid.) In addition, these batteries have a wide operating temperature, a long service life, and the ability to recover from a deep discharge.
