A gel battery is a type of lead-acid battery that uses a gelified electrolyte, which is a mixture of sulfuric acid and silica fume. This gel-like substance immobilizes the electrolyte, reducing the risk of leaks and spills. Gel batteries are known for their robust construction, making them highly resistant to vibrations and extreme temperatures. They are maintenance-free, as they do not require watering, and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Gel batteries are commonly used in deep-cycle applications such as renewable energy systems, backup power supplies, electric vehicles, and marine and recreational vehicles due to their reliability, safety, and ability to provide consistent power over long periods.
