Gel battery
A Gel battery is a type of sealed lead-acid battery that uses silica to turn its electrolyte into a gel-like substance. This gel prevents the liquid from spilling and allows the battery to be mounted in various positions. It offers advantages such as maintenance-free operation, better resistance to vibration and shock, and improved safety. Gel batteries are commonly used in marine, solar, and backup power applications because of their durability and reliability. They typically have a longer lifespan and perform well in deep cycling, making them a popular choice for continuous and demanding use.
