GEL sealed (Non-Spillable) Batteries requires no addition of water during the life of the battery.
Battery is TRUE DEEP CYCLE can be mounted in any position, requires no maintenance and may be transported by Air or Ground without any special handling regulations.
When a Gel Cell battery is charged no hazardous fumes escape the battery case, gases are processed within the battery itself.

What Are Cold Cranking Amps?
Essentially, Cold Cranking Amps is an industry value to rate a batteries’ ability to start an engine in cold temperatures. The numerical value refers to the number of amps a battery can produce, and sustain for 30 seconds, at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The performance and characteristic of Gel Battery:
- Sealed configuration, colloid electrolyte, and leak-proof.
- No acid mist and pollution to the environment when charging and discharging. It is the environment-friendly products recommended forcefully by our country.
- High capacity: 10-20% higher comparing to that of VRLA.
- Good at charging acceptance
- Low self-discharging and durable for storage.
- Nice ability for resilience after over-discharge and the capacity of high discharge current increases by 30% over VRLA.
- Good performance in the low temperatures, can meet requirements of starting currents in –30℃to -50℃.
- Stable characteristic in high temperatures, can meet requirements of its usage in temperature of 65℃ and even higher.
- Long life span for charging/discharging, cycles up to 800-1500 times.
- Industrial cost per unit capacity is lower than VRLA, yet economic benefits are higher
A battery only requires a little monthly maintenance to perform perfectly. Keep the battery charged to 100%, recharging when the lights dim, the starter sounds weak, or the battery hasn’t been used in more than two weeks. Follow the simple battery storage check list below once a month:
- Check voltage every 3 months (or more frequently if stored at higher temperatures as high temperatures cause higher self-discharge rates)
- Periodically:
- Keep top of battery clean
- Check cables, clamps, and case for obvious damage or loose connections
- Clean terminals and connectors as necessary
- Once activated, the battery is permanently sealed and must never be opened. There is no need to add water to AGM GEL batteries. Adding water to AGM GEL batteries will result in irreparable damage to the battery or the vehicle.
