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.
Applications
Applications:
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.
The 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 :
Compared to the flooded battery, the advantages of Gel battery are :
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.
