All Concorde Battery Corporation's Concorde RG® series and D8565 series, Chairman® AGM series, Lifeline® GPL series, and Sun Xtender® PVX series batteries are manufactured utilizing Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology. These Valve Regulated Sealed Lead-Acid (VRSLA) batteries are non-spillable and sealed with the electrolyte absorbed in the glass mat separator material.  They are also known as Valve Regulated Batteries (VRB), Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA),  Sealed Lead Acid Batteries (SLAB) and Recombinant Gas Lead Acid batteries.

 

Concorde’s VRLA have been tested in accordance with the vibration and pressure differential tests found in 49 CFR 173.159(f) and free flowing acid tests under 49 CFR 173.159a, the vibration and pressure differential test under IATA Packing Instruction 872, meet IATA Special provisions A48, A67, A164 & A183, and IMDG Special Provisions 238.1 & 238.2.  The batteries are securely packaged, protected from short circuits and labeled “Non-Spillable”.  Concorde VRLA batteries are exempt from DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and International Maritime Organization (IMO) IMDG Code.
