Subject: AGM/VRLA Batteries
From: Joel Markwell <joeldm@mi*.co*>
To: Techdiver <techdiver@aquanaut.com>
Is anyone using AGM/VRLA batteries in scooters or lights?

Absorbent Glass Matt/Valve Regulated Lead-Acid batteries are said to have
longer run times, better reliability and less outgassing than standard
lead-acid batteries. They are also supposed to be capable rapid energy
output on demand and safer to charge and store.

Several manufacturers make AGM/VRLA batteries and many recommend them for
sealed marine use, motorcycle use and they were used in US Military Hummers
and F-16 fighters.

What I don't know is if there are any drawbacks; if the claims of longer
run-time and less hydrogen discharge are true.

Later,

JoeL
