The battery:
The Cellpower CPXC55-12HE Lead-Carbon battery is the latest addition to the Intercel / Cellpower product range.
The battery is a 55Ah 12Volt block in the Lead Carbon version.

The advantages of Lead-carbon:
The Lead-Carbon battery is exactly what the name suggests: it's a VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) battery with added carbon. The battery is still an AGM battery with a much longer lifespan. In short, nothing but advantages. The negative plates of this battery are made of lead and carbon.
This improves the penetration of the acid into the plates and also the distribution of this acid.
This gives us the following benefits:

Fast charging
Lower internal resistance
Greater capacity
Less chance of sulphation.

The Cellpower CPXC55-12HE Lead-Carbon battery has a number of interesting advantages over more traditional batteries, namely:

Deeper discharge, up to 80% DoD (depth of discharge)
Extremely high cyclic life – up to 4000 cycles at 50% DoD.
Part load, protection against sulphation
Maintenance-free – VRLA: similar to AGM and GEL
1 on 1 replacement of AGM or GEL

What is important is that you charge the batteries with a GEL charger.
The battery voltage at full/empty is lower than with an AGM battery.

In addition, the battery also has a two-year manufacturer's warranty.

Can I use this battery directly as a replacement for my existing AGM or Gel battery?

Yes – the manufacturer states that this battery is a “1 to 1 replacement for AGM or GEL”.

Which charger can/may I use for this battery?

Because this is a VRLA (AGM/Lead-Carbon) type, you must use a charger suitable for AGM/Gel/VRLA batteries. The manufacturer explicitly states: "It is important that you charge the batteries with a GEL charger."
Please note that the charging profile (voltage, current, temperature compensation) is suitable for this technology.
Charging voltage: for example float / cyclic use 13,5-13,8 V (float) / 14,4-15,0 V (cyclic) according to the technical info.
