Yuasa RE Series VRLA Batteries

Introducing the RE series batteries from Yuasa. Compact lead-acid batteries that offer low self-discharge rates, can be stored for long periods without permanent loss of capacity. They incorporate the latest oxygen recombination technology and a safe low-pressure venting system. The RE series are extremely high performing VRLA batteries with excellent recovery from deep discharge and can operate in any orientation.

AGM Lead Acid Battery Vs Gel Cell Battery

Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
These batteries contain only enough liquid to keep the specially designed glass mat wet. The glass mat is made to wick the battery electrolytes between the battery plates. If the battery is broken no free liquid leaks out.

AGM batteries are preferred when a larger number of amps are required. The life expectancy remains excellent in most cases if they are not discharged more than 60% between recharges and/or recharged fully every 3-6 months.

Gel Cell
These batteries contain silica type gel, which is a thick paste-like material. It allows the electrons to flow between plates but will not leak in a gel battery if the case is broken.

Gel Cell Batteries don't offer the same power capacity as per the same physical size as AGM batteries. Gel cell batteries excel in slow discharge rates and slightly higher operating temperatures and with excellent deep cycle capability. Recharging these batteries must be done correctly or it will suffer premature failure.
