6V AGM Sealed Lead Acid Remington Rerchargeable Lantern Batteries

• 6 Volts
• 4.6 Amp Hours
• Sealed Lead Acid
• Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)
• Spring terminals

Be careful what you use this for as full charge voltage exceeds 6 volts 6.3 to 6.5 volts. It will drop slowly as it is discharged, as all batterys do. But this one starts out at full charge above 6 volts, so incandesant type lanterns will not like the higher voltage and bulbs will burn out quickly. LED type lights will tolerate the slightly higher voltage without issue. This battery is meant for a game feeder, but is useful for other devices that are not very voltage sensitive. Do your homework and check operating voltages of your device before you buy.

I bought this from American Science and Surplus, which is no longer listed as a vendor for it. Although it was black not green and didn't look like the picture, it was a standard rechargeable AGM battery and arrived nearly fully charged at 6.38 volts. It will power lantern for only about half as long as an alkaline cell, but of course it can be recharged hundreds of times. I put it in a Ray-O-Vac lantern and it worked fine, but the bulb burnt out after about 6 or 8 hours of use. Although I don't know how old the bulb was to begin with, any fully charged AGM battery will overdrive the standard bulbs for these lanterns, which are intended for 6.0-volt carbon or alkaline cells, and are actually rated at 4.75 volts. So, even a 6 volts is overpowering it by 56%, and an AGM at 6.4 volts is overpowering by 78%. There really should be a slightly higher-rated bulb for these batteries, but so far I haven't found one. I put in an LED bulb instead, which gives a narrower and slightly dimmer beam but gives much more light per charge (theoretically, about 30 hours).
