Gel Battery GE100-12 100AH 12V

This battery is manufactured with special separators and silica gel immobilizing the electrolyte inside the battery. The proven silica gel technology can improve battery cycle life and performance at a wider temperature range. The deep discharge cycle life is increased 50% compared with the JYC GP series battery.

• 100Ah 12V GEL Deep-cycle battery
• Designed for use with solar power systems
• 1500+ Cycles @ 30% Depth of Discharge
• 10-Year Design Life

VRLA GEL battery is a valve-regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA ) + Gel electrolyte cell technology battery. This is one kind of lead-acid battery for energy storage.

Gel battery is using the gel as an electrolyte instead of liquid acid. The gel is usually produced by homogeneous dispersion of pyrogenic silica in diluted sulfuric acid. Pyrogenic silica is a kind of powder of very well dispersed SiO, which absorbs more than 10 times of its weight acid liquid to produce a gel. Because of the thixotropic property of gel, the agglomerates are connecting themselves together as a network that keeps the liquid inside and becomes a gel structure after a certain gelling time. The Gel battery has no liquid inside, the electrolytes are in gel form and stand solid between positive and negative plates inside the battery.

The technical features of Gel battery technology :

• Using gel as an electrolyte Plate thickness tolerance is not critical since the high compression of plates group assembly is not necessary
• More electrolytes for better contact with plates and active materials and container walls, it is good for releasing internal heat and cooling battery temperature.
• Using the extra microporous separator which can:
  • Reduce the depolarization of the negative electrode and avoid negative plate sulphation
  • Without any liquid significantly decreases thermal runaway
  • Help to prevent short circuits by dendrite growth between the positive and negative plates during deep discharge
• Better vent valve design to lower gas leaking rate to extend battery lifetime.

Compared to the flooded battery, the advantages of Gel battery are :

• Maintenance-free, no need to add water
• Safe operation since no liquid inside
• Can be installed sideways ( upside-down is not recommended )
• Long cycle life
• Low self-discharge makes shelf life longer.
• Long standby life due to its ability to keep electrolytes inside and steady
• Performance stays high and stable until the end of life
• Tolerance to abuse and heat during operation, good for extreme weather

The advantage of Gel battery in application :

Maintenance-free

When the battery is charging, hydrogen would be absorbed and reversed to the electrolyte by plates. It doesn't need to refill water and balanced charge, which makes it maintenance-free.

Flexible installation

AGM separator keeps electrolyte absorbed in glass mat and still. The battery can be used or positioned in any orientation.

Longer lifespan in extreme weather

Gel cell electrolyte prevents the electrolyte from being evaporated at high temperature or being frozen at low temperature, which keeps the battery in high performance in extreme weather. Extremely safe When excessive gas production by inappropriate charging occurs, safety valves will automatically emit the gas to prevent battery cracked.

Long standby life, Better cycle performance

Anti-corrosion lead-calcium alloy plate provides a longer float charging life. AGM separator can trap electrolytes and prevent active materials on positive plates from dropping at the same time. Moreover, it gives better deep discharge cycle performance.

Longer shelf life

Special lead-calcium alloy plates make lower self-discharge for longer shelf life. High rate performance Low inner resistance allows higher discharging and charging current for better performance in high rate application
