OULITE VALVE REGULATED SEALED GEL BATTERY

Gel batteries are valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries that do not release corrosive gas. At present, Gel batteries have the highest cycle rate of all our deep cycle batteries which makes them attractive for solar power systems.

VRLA batteries recombine the oxygen (O) produced at the positive plates with the hydrogen (H) from the negative plates – creating water, and therefore preventing water loss and oxidation.

Gel batteries keep the electrolyte suspended in a gel-like paste. Like AGM batteries, Gels do not require a battery tray as they are considered non-spillable. Though it’s still recommend an upright position unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer.

Gel batteries also recover exceptionally well from deep discharges. To get the most out of Gels it is still best to charge them up as soon as possible. The cycle life of Gel batteries by far exceeds that of Flooded or AGM batteries if properly treated.

Gel batteries are long lasting rechargeable batteries ideal for use in solar power systems, particularly where low maintenance is desired/required. The extra investment will pay off over the lifespan of the battery.
