The Reasons to Use Gel Batteries

E-mail Print PDF

There are some very strong reasons to use Gel Batteries:

  • Gel batteries can give out charge at a higher rate than flooded cells. It is because their lower Peukerts exponent. Deep-cycle Flooded Cells cannot output more than 25% of their rated amp-hour capacity in amps without dropping Available Capacity.
  • There is almost no gas will be produced under normal operating conditions. Unlike flooded cells, gel batteries are fully. You find VRLAs batteries in the bilges of high end. Every boat benefits from it. Gel batteries venting requirements is minimal.
  • Gel batteries have much longer battery life in extreme weather condition.
  • Gel batteries can operate in any orientation and even if a container is broken, a gel battery will not leak.
  • Gel batteries require no maintenance once the charging system has been set up. There are no equalization charges. Electrolyte is not required to replenish. No specific gravity checks, no additional safety gear to carry on board in order to protect you.
  • Gel Batteries have higher charge efficiency. This feature allows you to recharge your batteries with less energy consumption: Flooded cells convert 15-20% of the electrical energy into heat instead of potential power. Gel-cells lose 10-16%. The higher charge efficiency of Gel batteries can contribute to significant savings
  • While flooded cells lose up to 1% per day due to self-discharge, Gel batteries lose 1-3% per month. That means your will required to recharge less frequently.

Gel batteries have a few strong advantages that keep them on the market. They don't typically leak, or produce spills or corrosion. Even if they are cut open, the gel does not flow out of the battery. The batteries are not known to evaporate, which is a constant issue with traditional wet batteries. They have a better resistance to extreme temperature changes, and are more vibration-resistant and shock-resistant than other types of batteries
