The NP18-12B uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. The electrolyte is
retained within a glass fibre separator, helping provide a sealed and reliable battery
construction.
Its Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) design incorporates low-pressure valves
that allow excess gas to escape if necessary while helping the battery recombine gases
during normal operation.
This makes the battery particularly suitable for equipment where a conventional
flooded battery would be inconvenient.
IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
- Recharge only with a charger suitable for a 12V VRLA/AGM lead-acid battery.
- Do not short-circuit the terminals.
- Do not expose the battery to fire, excessive heat or sparks.
- Do not open or dismantle the battery.
- Do not place the battery inside a completely sealed container because VRLA batteries can release gas under abnormal charging conditions.
- Ensure correct polarity when connecting the battery.
- Secure the battery properly during transportation and installation.
- Recycle used lead-acid batteries through an appropriate battery recycling facility.
