RITAR HR12-18W (12V18W) is a High-Rate Valve Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery designed for heavy-load discharge applications. It has an 8-year design life in float service and uses strong grids, thick plates, and specially designed active materials to provide lower internal resistance, lower self-discharge, high power output, and extended service life.
