Gel Type Battery Charging

Note that if you charge your gel battery on agm charging settings you will eventually damage the battery.

Gel type battery charging.

Gel batteries tend to have very narrow charging profiles and can be damaged easily by charging them inappropriately so a setting that is suitable for a gel battery may not be suitable for any non gel battery. For this type of battery the typical absorption voltage range 14 0 to 14 2 volts. A valve regulated lead acid vrla battery commonly known as a sealed lead acid sla battery is a type of lead acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte starved electrolyte absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel. And the presence of a.

For all gel cell batteries ranging from less than 5 ampere hours to over 400 there is a charger here to meet your needs. The batteries are often used in motorcycles wheelchairs and radio communications. Typical float voltage range 13 1 to 13 3 volts. Agm batteries and gel batteries have different charge settings.

As a result using gel or even agm gel settings may not fully charge non gel batteries including optima spiralcell agm batteries. Battery chargers with gel profile will have information either on the unit or in the manual about gel compatibility. Since gel batteries never spill they are sometimes referred to as non spillable batteries dry cell batteries or maintenance free gel batteries. When attempting to charge a gel battery with a lead acid charger you must ensure the peak charging voltage does not exceed 14 7 volts which would result in dried non conductive gel.

Proportioning of the negative and positive plates so that oxygen recombination is facilitated within the cell. Step 1 attach the lead acid battery charger to your gel cell battery connecting the red cable to the positive terminal and the black cable to the negative terminal. As long as your battery charger has settings for gel then you yes can replace your agm battery with with a gel battery.
