The AGM/"Gel"/SLA/MF are interchangeable if you have the same specs,
and there must be one somewhere......usually some Chinese type which is OK
if you top it up once a month or leave it on charge...but the price is
right.
I prefer the non MF or non Screwed, since a lot of Sealed batteries
are still WET, and they do loose some water if your in a hurry charging
them.
Most ppl call WET SEALED Gel/AGM and other names, but they are still
WET on the manufacturers Specs., so "regular refillable ones" are an asset.
A lot of MF batts are made that way for public safety, since a lot
of ppl don't realize the possible hazards despite all the sticker postings
on them.
A reliable source for aftermakets and availability would be:

|>
|>www.discover-energy.com

|>www.storedenergysolutions.com
..............the there's google, where these battery matches would come in
quantity purchased with no warranty if purchased "wholesale"....
