A wide range of applications uses gel batteries today, including solar systems, marine trolling, electric vehicles, sailboats, UPS (Uninterrupted Power Systems), and emergency lighting. This is the reason that the gel battery market is rapidly growing around the world. Moreover, gel batteries offer numerous advantages such as easy maintenance, long service lives, flexible designs, spill-proofing, vibration resistance, and minimal corrosion, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. The gel batteries are therefore in high demand in the market due to their high efficiency. However, the batteries should be charged at a slower rate and removed immediately after charging to avoid overheating and extend their life.
At AAGE International, we recommend Gel Batteries for most outdoor application requirements. As a general practice, we always indulge in introducing advanced and latest technology to the market and our Gel battery sales have seen many upgrades in design, capacity, and operating ranges. The flexibility it offers under any deciding factor, like ventilation limitation, harsh temperatures, etc., clearly has more advantages than other types, and therefore, most places use it.
Gel batteries operate on chemical reactions in their electrolyte, making them the most maintenance-free. There is no need to open valves and fill them with distilled water as the regulated valves automatically allow the gasses to recombine and form water. They have almost negligible fumes produced in them; hence, these kinds of batteries are installed in hospitals and public places where safety is the top priority. Gel batteries offer a multitude of charging options but due care needs to be given while selecting them as they charge in a low voltage range.
Factors that make Gel Batteries Superior:
- Deep Cycle Applications: Gel batteries are most suitable for deep cycle applications because they can discharge more and recharge more often.
- Zero maintenance: As the battery consists of a gel-like substance rather than liquid, taking care of the batteries is not necessary.
- Ergonomic Designs: As there is no leakage out of gel batteries, they can be installed both vertically and horizontally.
- Robust Construction: Gel batteries have a non-conductive outer layer that resists shock, vibration, chemicals, and heat.
- Vibration Resistant: Wet batteries are subject to extreme vibration and other impacts, which is one of their major drawbacks. In contrast, gel batteries absorb vibrations and impacts.
- No Fumes: Gel batteries emit almost negligible fumes. This makes them suitable for many applications where safety is paramount.
Their compatibility with other electronic circuits due to lower corrosion is their ultimate selling point and hence the Gel batteries are preferred in outdoor control panels across any power unit. As the need for clean floors is on the raise for any kind of infrastructure, these spill-proof Gel Batteries are the preferred models. Due to the long life of the battery and the careful charging, the efficiency is slightly curtailed but is compensated for by its long life. We prefer reliability factors in our batteries and hence all the batteries we supply have low permeability by default.
The firm size and upgraded design are duly tested for the integrity of the structure under harsh conditions before deploying them in dispatch. The efficiency is tested for water recombination under different voltage levels for steady output. Alloys that are durable for a long period are used as the source material and the resealing capacity of the valve further enhances the life cycle. The ease of handling is given due importance keeping in mind the floor cleaning activities and the ergonomic design makes it all the easy to move about in even constricted space.
The adaptive character of these Gel batteries to any latest technology makes them unique in recent years for a variety of uses. The cost-effective solution of gel batteries apart from the initial installation charges covers the slow charging and the comparatively low depth of discharge. Generally, Gel batteries are best suited for tropical climates and have a design life of around 12 years adding more advantages.
Because of its low discharge features the depth discharge is comparatively high making it ideal to use for a longer time. Due to high internal resistance, these batteries cannot be used as starters. The colloidal nature of the gel material makes them completely immune to vibrations and hence it can perform well in rough environments. We ensure that the gel batteries we supply fulfill the European Union standards. Lesser weight, zero explosion risk, and cost-effectiveness are salient features that nearly all are preferring in a battery in that a gel battery is a preferred choice for this requirement.
