Crappy lead-acid LED lamp with brilliantly simple circuitry.

This version of the now classic "intelligent emergency lamp" has the most minimalist circuitry seen yet, and what appears to be an SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery. In one area it has cut cost a bit too much and in another area it is fiendishly clever in using just a single transistor in its active circuitry.
I just had to take the lead acid battery apart to see what was inside. Mainly lead and acid apparently. Quite a lot of lead too - I guess they have to get rid of all that lead somewhere.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of RU-vid's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I guess any diode can be an LED (briefly) given the right circumstances.

That's the cutest little lead acid battery...

I used to work in the battery charger industry. The work used to involve the fitment and maintenance of battery charging equipment in electricity power stations and substations. Sometime in the 1980's the National Grid and regional electricity companies started specifying SLA cells, because they were promised by the battery suppliers a lifespan of 25 years and zero maintenance.

I can't imagine a more pleasant design than little plastic cases filled with sulphuric acid above my head in small cheap devices that may fail with heat. Awesome!

A small but interesting point of chemistry: Sealed lead acid batteries don't use polyester (which would be decomposed by the sulfuric acid) or any other type of plastic to absorb the acid. The only plastic involved is the battery casing, which is typically polypropylene or high density polyethylene, since they are structurally strong and resistant to all acids.

Great, Clive is back to his precise, easy to understand way of speaking. Now I finally understand what made the "intelligent" emergency lamp from 6 days ago special

Safety squints on. I really like those glass mat batteries. Such a simple thing but I find they're much more robust in my possession and on my bike than a regular flooded cell.

battery is an AGM (absorbed glass mat) lead acid. Spill proof and handles vibrations better than most batteries....

This is exactly what my lamp circuitry was like... but mine uses 18650 cell without protection instead. That SLA battery is very common in cheap Chinese flashlight or mosquito racket because they're cheap and don't require protection to charge, they usually just get charged by a capacitor dropper like that but I haven't seen one venting or oozing out electrolytes though.

Sealed LA batteries sometimes have a catalyst foam somewhere in its package to burn the generated O2 and H2 back to water. If you over charge one of these batteries, they will just heat up and dissipate the extra power dumping in them,
