For SOLAR applications GEL technology is without doubt the right choice.
Completely maintenance free. Spill proof/ leak proof. Multi position. Features utilize the latest European (German) technology.
Applications: Photovoltaic solar power supplies; Street and garden lighting. Telecom cellular/ radio/ repeaters. Small scale off grid to grid tie backup / UPS.
Advantages of Gel Batteries:- Full recovery from deep discharge, even when the battery is not recharged immediately.
- Ideal for repeat cycling daily use.
- Excellent performance over long discharges
- Good tolerance to higher temperature applications
- Improved resistance to freezing
- Suitable where mains power is unstable
- Zero stratification due to immobilized electrolyte
- No equalization charge necessary
- Reduced self-discharge
- Limiting design protects the positive plates to greatly improve cycle life
- Thicker plates for reduced grid corrosion and increased cycle life
- Improved charge acceptance due to low internal resistance
- High resistance to water loss with the right charging set up
- Ultra stable polymer separator with glass mat for increased performance
- High resistance to shorting due to superior mechanical strength of the polymer separator
- Increased tolerance to poor charging parameters
- Can be discharged even when full recharge has not been achieved, without loss of battery capacity
Advantages of AGM Batteries: - Lower initial cost when compared to equivalent power Gel
- Ideal for starting and stationary applications
- Superior performance for shorter duration / higher current discharges
- Smaller size battery can be used for higher rate discharges
