Gel Cell Batteries

Gel cell batteries are a type of sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is turned into a gel, preventing spillage and allowing for maintenance-free operation. They consist of lead plates immersed in a gel-like acid. This design makes them durable, vibration-resistant, and suitable for deep cycling, meaning they can be discharged and recharged many times. Commonly used in backup power systems, wheelchairs, and solar energy storage, gel cells are reliable, safe, and ideal for applications where upright position or portability is important. Their sealed nature reduces acid fumes and maintenance requirements.
