Optima RedTop RT S 2.1 AGM lead-acid battery 6V 50Ah

The OPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 is a revolutionary 6-volt high-performance AGM battery that, thanks to the patented SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®, combines the starting power of a starter battery with the cycle durability of a supply battery. With a nominal voltage of 6 V and a capacity of 38 Ah, it is the ultimate solution for classic vehicles and special applications that have been retrofitted with modern, high-current consumers. Its extreme vibration resistance and absolutely maintenance-free, leak-proof design make it the first choice for the most demanding 6-volt applications.Highlights at a glance6-volt dual-purpose functionality: Offers starting power and cycle durability for classic vehicles with high energy requirements.SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®: Unique spiral cell design for extreme vibration resistance and longer service life.High cycle durability: Ideal for vintage cars with modern hi-fi systems or additional lighting.Absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof: The sealed AGM design allows installation in almost any position and protects valuable original materials.Fast recharge: Absorbs charge considerably more quickly than conventional 6-volt batteries.Maximum performance for classic vehicles with modern requirementsThe OPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 was purpose-built for the special requirements of 6-volt vehicles that need more than just starting current. It is the ideal choice for vintage cars, hot rods, and tractors equipped with powerful stereo systems, navigation systems, electric fans or other modern consumers. It reliably provides the high current to start the engine and then powers the additional equipment when stationary without losing performance.Superior SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is the unique SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®. Instead of flat lead plates, high-purity lead spirals are used which are wrapped with a glass fibre fleece (AGM). This compact and extremely robust design minimises internal resistance, resulting in superior starting power, faster charging and unmatched vibration resistance. This technology makes the YellowTop the perfect hybrid solution for demanding 6-volt systems.Built for the most demanding conditionsThe OPTIMA YellowTop is designed for tough use. Its sealed construction not only prevents acid leakage—which is especially important in valuable vintage cars to avoid damage to paint and bodywork—but also evaporation. This makes it absolutely maintenance-free. The up to 15 times higher vibration resistance compared to conventional batteries ensures that vibrations in older vehicles do not harm the battery. Features  ModelOPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 TechnologyAGM Spiralcell Nominal voltage (V)6 Capacity (Ah)38 Cold start current EN (A)460 Dimensions (L x W x H in mm)254 x 90 x 206 ConnectionSAE car pole Weight (kg)approx. 8.9  FAQs on the OPTIMA YellowTop 6V batteryWhat is the main advantage of SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY® in a classic car?In classic vehicles, spiral cell technology offers two decisive advantages: Firstly, extreme vibration resistance, which is very useful in older chassis. Secondly, it is completely leak-proof, which protects valuable paint and bodywork from acid damage—a common problem with old wet batteries.What is the difference between the 6V YellowTop and the 6V RedTop?YellowTop (6V): A dual-purpose battery (starting and supply). It is ideal for 6-volt vehicles with additional electrical consumers such as a powerful music system, as it can handle deep discharges. RedTop (6V): A pure high-performance starter battery. It is the right choice if starting is the main load and no significant consumers are operated when stationary.Do I need a special charger for this 6V AGM battery?Yes, it is very important to use a modern, microprocessor-controlled charger that is suitable for both 6 volt and AGM technology. Old, unregulated 6-volt chargers can damage the battery through overvoltage.How should this lead-acid battery be disposed of?Lead-acid batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge to any dealer who sells new batteries or to municipal recycling centres to ensure proper disposal.

The ULTRALIFE URB1270 is a state-of-the-art lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) designed specifically as a more powerful drop-in replacement for conventional 12V 7Ah or 7.2Ah lead-acid batteries (SLA). It utilises the standard housing of common lead-acid batteries, but thanks to lithium technology, offers a drastic reduction in weight, a constant voltage level, and up to 10 times longer cycle life. An integrated battery management system (BMS) provides maximum safety and automatically protects the cells.Highlights at a glance1:1 lead-gel replacement: Fits exactly into the holders and housing dimensions of common 12V 7Ah/7.2Ah lead-acid batteries (such as Yuasa NP7-12).Extreme cycle stability: Offers over 2000 charge cycles at 100% depth of discharge (for comparison: lead-acid batteries often achieve only 300-500 cycles).Ultralight: Weighs only approx. 1.06 kg, less than half the weight of a comparable lead-acid battery (approx. 2.5 kg), ideal for portable devices.Integrated BMS: The built-in Battery Management System monitors every cell and protects against overcharging, deep discharge, and short circuit.Safe chemistry: Lithium iron phosphate technology (LiFePO4) is considered the safest lithium variant, is thermally stable and non-combustible.Constant performance: Maintains a voltage of approx. 12.8 V almost constant up to nearly complete discharge, while lead-acid batteries lose voltage continuously.Ideal for medical technology & roboticsThe URB1270 is the perfect choice for applications where weight and lifespan are critical factors. It is commonly used in medical trolleys, mobile measuring devices, robots, electric scooters (scooters) or high-quality children's toys. As it has no memory effect and does not sulphate even when partially discharged (unlike lead-acid batteries), it requires much less maintenance and is significantly more reliable in long-term use. Features ModelULTRALIFE URB1270 (LiFePO4 SLA replacement) ApplicationUPS, medical technology, industry, robots (1:1 lead-acid replacement) TechnologyLithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) with integrated BMS Voltage12.8 V (Nominal) - operating range 10V - 14.4V Capacity7.6 Ah (Comparable to 7-9 Ah lead-acid) / 97 Wh Max. discharge currentapprox. 10 A (continous) / integrated BMS protection Dimensions (L x W x H in mm)151 x 65 x 93 (standard size as 12V 7.2Ah) Terminal arrangementStandard (Suitable for standard connection cables) TerminalFaston 6.3mm (F2) - flat connector Base railN (Flat base) Special features>2000 cycles, very light, BMS (protection against over-/undervoltage) Weight (kg)approx. 1.0 (vs. 2.5 kg for lead-acid)  FAQs about the Ultralife URB1270Can I continue to use my lead-acid charger?This is the most important question when switching to lithium. In principle yes, but: The URB1270 is designed to be compatible with many standard lead-acid chargers (AGM/Gel) as long as the charge cutoff voltage is between 13.6 V and 14.8 V and no desulfation function (high voltage pulses) is active. For optimum performance and service life, however, we strongly recommend a dedicated LiFePO4 charger (CCCV characteristic).Can I connect the battery in series (24V)?According to the Ultralife data sheet, the URB1270 is often approved for a series connection (up to 2 batteries = 24V) or parallel connection. Please be sure to check the current data sheet for your specific production batch, as BMS specifications may vary. Both batteries must be fully charged before connecting them together.Is the higher price worth it compared to lead?If you use the battery cyclically (charge/discharge daily), then yes. A lead-acid battery often has to be replaced every 1-2 years. The Ultralife lithium battery often lasts 5-8 years or longer with the same use. Over its lifetime, it is therefore often more cost-effective, and you save a lot of weight as well.
