The battery of the GEL series is intended, among other things, for: powering
photovoltaic systems or vehicles where the battery is exposed to shocks and
charging from impulse sources, e.g. solar regulators. Thanks to the design based
on gel electrolyte, the GEL battery is ideal for cyclic operation even with deep
discharges. It achieves several times more discharge cycles compared to
batteries made with AGM technology. The designed service life is up to 12 years
with balancing operation at 25 °C. - A GEL battery has a similar structure to an
AGM battery, except that in a gel battery the electrolyte is stored in the form
of a gel paste. Due to this design, it is characterized by better resistance to
electrolyte leakage than AGM batteries - Automatic sealing system. When the
pressure inside the accumulator is too high, the valves open, causing the
resulting gas to be safely vented outside the case, preventing damage. This
happens when the battery is overcharged - The battery case is made of ABS
material, the cells are made of copper - What devices are powered by GEL
batteries? - Emergency power systems (UPS, converters) - Telecommunication
systems - CCTV systems - Alarm and fire systems - Backup and emergency lighting
systems - Wind and solar power plants - Powering power tools - Supplying medical
devices - Electric vehicles (motorcycles, quad bikes, scooters) - Mobility
vehicles (wheelchairs, golf carts, forklifts, industrial vehicles) - Water
vehicles (motorboats, boats) - Garden vehicles (mowers, etc.) - Caravans Why use
a GEL battery? - Very long service life (up to 12 years) and low self-discharge
- Ability to work in a balanced and cyclical system - Maintenance-free ? no need
to top up or replace the electrolyte - Safe use (no electrolyte leakage,
pressure valves) Technical parameters: - Nominal voltage: 12V - Nominal
