495124 - Miller 12V Dry Charge Utility Battery

Industrial Grade 12V Utility Battery (Dry)

The Miller Electric 12V Light Utility Battery (SKU: MIL495124) is a specialized replacement component designed for the rigorous demands of industrial environments. Classified as a dry-charged lead-acid battery, this unit is supplied without electrolyte, a critical feature for MRO inventory management. By shipping and storing the battery in a dry state, the chemical degradation process is effectively paused, allowing for an indefinite shelf life prior to activation. This ensures that maintenance teams can stock critical spares without the risk of sulfation or self-discharge that plagues pre-filled batteries during long-term storage.

Engineered for light utility applications, specifically within the context of engine-driven welding generators and associated industrial machinery, this battery provides reliable cranking power once activated. The casing is constructed from high-impact materials capable of withstanding the significant vibration and thermal cycling common in welding operations. It features standard terminal configurations compatible with OEM wiring harnesses, ensuring a seamless integration into existing equipment maintenance schedules.

Activation and Safety: As a dry unit, this battery requires the separate procurement and addition of specific gravity sulfuric acid electrolyte before it can be charged and put into service. This separation of chemical components enhances safety during shipping and handling. MRO professionals should ensure that activation is performed in a well-ventilated area wearing appropriate PPE. Once filled and charged, the battery delivers consistent 12V output, meeting the starting requirements of compatible Miller power sources.
