100ah Deep Cycle Battery Gel 12v
100ah Deep Cycle Battery Gel 12v
Firstly this 100ah Deep Cycle Battery is of the Gel type construction or Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA).
Importantly because the battery filled with special gel-type electrolyte it is non-spillable, completely sealed and maintenance free – one of the safest batteries you can find.
Secondly Gel type batteries have a much longer service life compared to standard wet-cell batteries due to less degradation and corrosion inside the battery.
Because of this Gel batteries hold charge very well and have a much lower self-discharge rate.
Finally and importantly, a Gel battery returns 100ah when it is rated at 100ah
Other important benefits of gel batteries include:
- Better recovery from deep discharge
- Wider working temperature range (gel batteries work well even in cold temperatures as low as -10C)
- Their position doesn’t have to be upright all the time
- These batteries have better resistance to shock and vibration
About a Deep Cycle Battery
This means that this battery has been specially designed for applications which involve regular deep discharge. Such applications include using it as a leisure battery in caravans, motorhomes, campervans and boats, or energy storage in lighting systems and various types of off-grid power systems.
This battery is a perfect choice for our solar charging kits due to its excellent solar charge acceptance.
The service life of this battery is more than 5 years, but if treated well the battery can last up to 10 years.
The battery comes packaged in a carton box with a user manual and bolts/washers for terminals.
