That one is the L16RE-B which is their "renewable energy" battery. My guess on the weight difference is lead if the case is the same physical size. If the size is different, then it's probably lead and electrolyte.
I looked at the renewable energy specs for tojans at one time. much higher cycle life. What I noticed was that for the same weight they are slightly lower AH than the non renewable energy AND the initial SG is lower. T-125 renewable energy has about the same AH as T-105 regular but same weight at T-125 regular.
I'm sure Mex know the tradeoffs, but it looks like to get higher cycle life SG is lower, which if I understand the physical properties would say that for all else being equal, AH would go down.
