GEL Batteries

GEL battery characteristics

 

Gel batteries are one of the most used types of batteries in photovoltaic kits , thanks to their excellent performance and advantages compared to other types of batteries . Gel batteries are characterized by being manufactured with a gelled electrolyte and are completely sealed so they do not release any type of liquid if the battery is tipped over. They are mostly intended for medium and small-sized solar installations that need a long-term battery.

 

GEL batteries belong to the family of lead acid and its great difference with respect to these is the state of the electrolyte that in the case at hand is much more gelled, as the name implies and is less harmful. This implies greater resistance to vibrations and high temperatures as well as less evaporation than in conventional lead acid batteries. It is the most effective batteries in the market with excellent functionality, being the most used for photovoltaic solar installations.

 

Common uses of GEL Batteries

Gel batteries have a good price-quality ratio, they are a bit more expensive than conventional lead-acid batteries but this is compensated for by their high performance and durability guarantee. GEL batteries are those indicated for isolated installations or for applications where the role of the batteries is essential. They are one of the most demanded products for solar installations since they do not require maintenance and it is not necessary to regularly check the acid levels inside.

It is recommended that you keep the Gel battery in its natural position, that is, with the terminals facing up to extend its life and achieve maximum efficiency.

 

GEL Battery Maintenance

 

Gel batteries should be kept in cool and safe places, avoid being exposed to direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Gel batteries are fully sealed and do not require any maintenance, which makes them much safer than other batteries, one of the most preferred features for installations in motorhomes, vans, etc.

Configuration in the charging stages of the GEL Batteries

 

The tensions of charges can be found mostly in the technical data sheets in relation to the manufacturer and the technology that they use, always good to check the charging voltages of the Gel batteries to ensure proper operation. Charging the gel batteries with incorrect voltages can reduce the service life, it is important to always charge them at 100% or never overload and overload the gel batteries.

 

Gel Battery Warranty

 

Gel batteries in Wccsolar are guaranteed for 2 years from the date of purchase. Which can give you complete peace of mind when making any battery connection both in series and in parallel but we always recommend putting a battery equalizer for a better balance and full performance.
