From their web site I see you are right. They are valve regulated sealed
lead acid batteries.

They must be junk. The amazing thing is that they charge and release
significant power. Doing the numbers on their amp hours, if they were
reconditioned to 50% (as the battery re conditioner says he might be able
to do), 10 of them would store less power than four T 105s. Four of them
would cost around $100 bucks over the cost of the reconditioning process.
The decision (to me) seems a "no brainer," but it is up to the customer now
that the facts have been given to him.
