Gel Batteries

GEL batteries from Electronicx

In GEL batteries the electrolyte is bound into a gel. The battery is sealed, maintenance-free and copes well with slow, deep discharge. In this category you will find all GEL batteries of our own brand Electronicx:

• Leisure batteries: 12 V, 80 to 140 Ah, for motorhomes, caravans, boats and solar systems, as Caravan, Caravan EXTREME, Marine and Solar Edition.
• Motorcycle batteries: 6 V and 12 V, for motorcycles, scooters, quads and mopeds.
• Backup battery: 12 V, 12 Ah, as a backup battery for the vehicle electrical system. The vehicles it is intended for are listed in the item description.

Sizes of the GEL leisure batteries

The dimensions apply to all editions of the same capacity.

AGM, GEL or LiFePO4?

• AGM: delivers high currents and is suitable both as a starter battery and as a leisure battery. For a long service life it should not be deeply discharged on a regular basis.
• GEL: copes well with slow, deep discharge and is mainly intended as a leisure battery. For high starting currents in a car, AGM is the better choice.
• LiFePO4: lighter than lead batteries of the same capacity and can be discharged more deeply. Charger, DC-DC charger and solar controller need a LiFePO4 charging profile.

How to find the right battery

• By vehicle: Use the vehicle search on this page to select make, model and year. For cars you can also enter the numbers from the German vehicle registration certificate (HSN and TSN).
• By your old battery: In the battery finder on this page you can search by the type or battery number of your old battery, by dimensions and by polarity.
• Dimensions: Length, width and height must fit the battery holder or battery compartment. The dimensions are given for every item.
• Positive terminal: Look at the battery from the front, with the terminals at the front: positive terminal on the right means layout 0, positive terminal on the left means layout 1. With reversed polarity the cables usually do not reach.
• Capacity (Ah): For starter batteries, choose at least the capacity of the old battery. For leisure batteries, the capacity depends on your daily consumption.
• Cold cranking current (CCA): The value in A (EN) should be at least as high as that of the old battery.

Charging correctly

Set your charger, DC-DC charger and solar controller to the GEL charging profile. Too high a charging voltage damages GEL batteries. The permissible charging voltage is given in the item description.

Shipping, statutory warranty and old batteries

Orders received by 14:00 on working days are shipped the same day. Statutory warranty rights apply.

Old batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return them free of charge at municipal collection points or to retailers. In Germany, the Battery Act Implementation Law (BattDG) requires a deposit of EUR 7.50 including VAT on starter batteries if no old battery is returned at the time of purchase.
