Gel Batteries

MAINTENANCE-FREE, SEALED BATTERY SYSTEM USING
RECOMBINATION TECHNOLOGY

Gel batteries offer reliable cold cranking (starting power) and maximum power supply with a superior cycling performance. The robust construction ensures the battery will continue to work through the most extreme conditions with a high resistance to vibration.

They are exceptionally clean and safe to handle. The battery acid is fixed using gel, making the Gel battery completely leak proof, permitting the battery to be inclined to an angle of 180º. Gel batteries incorporate gas recombination technology, ensuring neither gas nor acid vapours are able to escape, making Gel completely maintenance free.

A slow self-discharge rate, plus its capability of recovery after deep discharge, makes a Gel battery ideally suited for seasonal or infrequent use.

THE RECOMBINATION PRINCIPLE

In the Gel sealed battery system, the gases produced during charging are recombined back into water within the cells. This means that exceptionally clean and safe handling is guaranteed, because neither gases nor acid vapours are able to escape outside. The Gel battery is therefore completely maintenance-free.

APPLICATIONS
  • Cars & light vans
  • Commercial vehicles
  • Public utility vehicles
  • Emergency & special vehicles (Police, fire, ambulances, rescue, etc…..)
  • Refrigerated vehicles
  • Construction machinery
  • Solar applications
  • Marine (sailing boats, motorised yachts, motor boats, etc….)
  • Leisure vehicles (caravans, mobile homes, etc…..)

MORE CYCLES – LONGER LIFE

MORE USABLE CAPACITY

Gel allows 100% discharge.

MINIMAL SELF-DISCHARGE

Due to its extremely low self-discharge, the Gel still has over 80% of its nominal capacity after a storage time of six months – even after two years it still retains over 60%.

NOTE: GEL batteries are compatible with ADVERC BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
