The 12v 18-amp (or 17) is used in a lot of different applications; you will find them in smaller mobility scooters and powerchairs, in uninterrupted power sources protecting computer systems, and in things like a lawn mower. They are not all the same, but they share the physical size of this battery range.

The 12v 18 amp size batteries are often valve-regulated lead acid or VRLA, possibly also absorbed glass mat or AGM, meaning they will not leak even if mounted on their side. They are safe for use on public transport and even aeroplanes. However, it would be wise to confirm this with them when booking a flight with the airline, as they are non-hazardous and require no maintenance other than charging.

The charging of sealed lead batteries is essential, they are capable of many shallow charges, that is a small charge to top them up, this technology when installed in a device with constant mains power is capable of lasting years, but when in the hands of manual charges this is reduced, in best practice recharge after every use, do not try to run down the battery, if not being used for long periods then recharge every 5 weeks, this will significantly help you to get the best from your purchase and extend your battery life.
