Is a maintenance free, gel battery, as good as the marketing claims?
No dumb answers please. I report these as abuse.

There are two big advantages of sealed gel batteries vs. liquid acid:
1. Seal gel can't spill, even when turned completely upside down.
2. Sealed gel has a much lower freezing point than liquid acid, so you can leave it outside over the winter with no worries.

that's what it is going to ascertain whilst it is without a load. A vehicle alternator will positioned out 14.5 volts whilst charging a 12 volt battery, if it did no longer have a superior voltage, then it would not take a fee. The power might desire to opposite the chemical technique in the battery so it may shop the ability.

A gel battery can be mounted in any direction. Lead-acid batteries must be kept upright. Also, the gel electrolyte will not spill or evaporate, as it can in a lead-acid battery.

Gel cells are good for maintanance free operations. Lead/acid batteries have more power and are less tempurature sensitive, but much heavier and can leak.
