GLOSSARY
What is a GEL battery?
A gel battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
Ɏ is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
Ɏ is completely maintenance-free.
Ɏ uses thixotropic gelled electrolyte.
Ɏ 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).
Ɏ is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position.
However, upside-down installation is not recommend-ed.
Ɏ Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned
periodically.
What is an AGM battery?
An AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
Ɏ is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
Ɏ is completely maintenance-free.*
Ɏ has all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge-like
mass of matted glass fibers.
Ɏ 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).
Ɏ is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position.
However, upside-down installation is not recommended.
Ɏ Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned
periodically.
