The Sealed Gel Battery is made by suspending the battery’s electrolyte in silica gel. This gel allows electrons to travel between the two lead plates in the battery.

　　Due to the material and design used to construct gel batteries, they have the following advantages: Leak-proof. Unlike lead batteries, lead batteries contain dangerous liquids that may leak, while gel batteries do not leak acid when tilted or punctured. Since gel batteries are leak-proof, this makes them much safer than lead batteries by preventing potential physical damage and property damage. No additional safety precautions are required. Because the gel battery has a leak-proof function, no additional safety precautions are required when transporting, storing, or transporting the gel battery. Optional positioning Since the gel battery no longer has the risk of acid leakage, the battery can be conveniently placed in tight and hard-to-reach areas in various transportation vehicles. Unlike lead storage batteries, lead storage batteries must always be kept in an upright position to prevent dangerous acid leakage. During the entire service life of the Sealed Maintenance-Free Battery, due to electrolysis, it will emit electrolyte and dissipate the water inside the battery. In order for the battery to work effectively, the lead battery must be checked for electrolyte level and maintain its water content. The design of the gel battery eliminates the emission of gas and recycles its water, so the loss of electrolyte and water is minimal. Therefore, there is no need to check electrolyte levels or maintain moisture, and do not need to perform any necessary maintenance. Operating under extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, gel batteries are very durable under high and low temperature and physical strain. Gel batteries can operate effectively between -40° and 140°F, which is a rare attribute that most other batteries cannot exhibit. Gel batteries can not only withstand changing temperatures but are also resistant to corrosion, vibration, and shock. Slower self-discharge Although all batteries will eventually fail due to the erosion of time and use time, the degradation rate of gel batteries is much slower than that of lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries can self-discharge 1% per day on average, while gel batteries can self-discharge 1-3% per month. Make the gel battery a long-term product worth investing in. Lighter weight Finally, gel batteries are much lighter than standard lead-acid batteries, making them easier to transport, use, and durable.

　　Disadvantages of gel batteries

　　Although gel batteries have many advances and advantages, these advantages naturally come with some disadvantages: Cost One of the main problems people face when buying gel batteries is the price. The price of a gel battery ranges from US$100 to US$500, depending on the quality of the battery and the machine purchased. Lower current gel batteries cannot provide the same power and charging capacity as lead-acid batteries and various other batteries. Therefore, depending on the type of machine, gel batteries cannot be used in certain machines or cannot meet certain performance standards. Another difficulty with the gel charge distribution map is the correct charging of the gel battery. Gel batteries need charging equipment specially designed or adjusted for gel batteries, otherwise, the battery will be seriously damaged. If the charging is incorrect, the battery will expire prematurely and become unusable. What should you buy? Buying a battery depends on choosing the battery type that best suits your application needs. Each battery has its advantages and disadvantages, so it is very important to choose the advantages that promote and improve the performance standards of equipment, machines, or vehicles. For applications with little ventilation, little water, and high temperature, gel batteries are undoubtedly worthwhile. In addition, the gel battery is durable, safe, long-lasting, and maintenance-free. Gel batteries are most commonly used in electric wheelchairs, golf carts, seaplanes, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and even certain car models.
