GLOSSARY
What is a GEL battery?
A gel battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
z
is sealed using special pressure valves and should never
be opened.
z
is completely maintenance-free.*
z
uses thixotropic gelled electrolyte.
z
uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of
hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in a flooded
lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
z
is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually
any position. However, upside-down installation is not
recommend-ed.
Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should
be cleaned periodically.
