AGM VRLA TECHNOLOGY

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.
