Gel-cell batteries are a maintenance-free alternative to the traditional lead-acid battery. The “gel” is formed by combining lead acid with a silica gel. The “gel” that is formed has solid-like properties, resulting in restricted “gel” fluid movement and the virtual elimination of hazardous and costly battery acid leakage!
Gel-cell batteries have many advantages including:
- Maintenance-free - No need to add water!
- Spill-proof - Eliminates liability and costly repairs resulting from battery acid leakage!
- Durable - Even if the battery is cracked it will still function
- Vibration resistant - Gel provides added support to vibration-sensitive plates
- Reliable even in extreme climates - Ranging from -25° to 120°F (-31°C to 49°C)!
- Superior shelf life - electrolyte cannot evaporate during storage!
- Extended operational life - greater than that of lead acid batteries
- Low operating cost - Eliminates labor-intensive maintenance and corrosion repairs!
