A gel battery has the same design and functionality as a traditional lead-acid battery. The two batteries differ because solar gel batteries also contain silica in the electrolyte, which creates a gel-like substance. The gel electrolyte prevents the solar gel batteries from emitting as many fumes as the traditional battery. A gel battery is also easy to install in various positions because of its stability.
All solar gel batteries are deep-cycle batteries, which are different from automotive batteries you see in vehicles, also known as starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries. Automotive batteries use very thin lead plates to produce a burst of energy. That surge helps the battery start your car quickly but would cause serious problems if hooked up to solar panels for home use.
On the other hand, deep-cycle batteries use thicker lead plates to create energy more evenly and slowly. They last longer than SLI batteries, and you can wire them together easily to create a battery bank. This feature makes deep-cycle batteries ideal for solar panel installations.
Advantages of Solar Gel Batteries
One of the advantages of solar gel batteries is they require little to no maintenance. Replacing the liquid in these batteries with gel means you don't have to worry about leaks or other maintenance issues that could arise with lead-acid batteries.
Another benefit of deep-cycle gel batteries is how flexible you can be with where to install them. Not only can they be placed in any position without the fear of leaking or the need for maintenance access, but they are also resistant to heavy vibrations and other substantial impacts, making them ideal for remote home solar energy systems.
Solar Gel Battery Disadvantages
While their reliability and versatility are significant pluses, solar gel batteries come at a price, particularly steeper than standard wet cell batteries. Additionally, while deep-cycle gel batteries are resistant to burning out from a too-deep discharge, they do require close monitoring while charging. Leaving solar gel batteries to charge even after they've reached capacity could cause voids with the electrolyte, something you cannot fix.
Unfortunately, like all batteries, deep-cycle gel batteries can only withstand certain temperatures, so storing them in an area that gets too hot too frequently will shorten their lifespan.
