Gel batteries (AGM)
Gel AGM 6V, 12V and other batteries
AGM 6V and 12V batteries are maintenance-free rechargeable cells, distinguished by trouble-free operation even under extreme conditions. AGM gel batteries are an excellent choice for both buffer backup power and cyclic power supply. The online store offers gel batteries with varying capacities from 12V 9Ah to 12V 100Ah, 12V 150Ah or 12V 200Ah AGM batteries.
Gel AGM (VRLA) battery - key information and advantages.
Gel AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are a type of VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery with a gel electrolyte (a mixture of sulfuric acid and silica) instead of the traditional liquid electrolyte. Below we have outlined the most important information about the AGM gel battery.
The AGM technology is distinguished by its excellent charge acceptance capability.
- Up to four times longer service life compared to traditional batteries.
- Very fast charging and high resistance to deep discharge.
- Valve-regulated VRLA recombination system and sealed housing.
- Eliminated electrolyte loss phenomenon during operation.
Efficient gel batteries with AGM technology are commonly used to power electrical and electronic devices and electric vehicles (including aerial lifts, scooters or wheelchairs and golf carts). They can be used for both cyclic and buffer operation.
Gel AGM batteries are also used as main components of UPS systems and emergency power supply for video surveillance, access control or SSWiN alarm installations. Maintenance-free AGM gel batteries are also used as storage batteries for photovoltaics or energy storage in solar installations. The products are also common equipment for campers, where they are also used to store energy from a mobile solar system.
Gel AGM batteries for buffer and cyclic operation
The versatile nature of AGM gel batteries makes the cells suitable for both buffer and cyclic operation.
Buffer operation of the AGM battery - in this case, the gel battery is used as an emergency power supply or emergency power source. It is constantly hooked up to the charger to minimize the risk of running out of energy in the emergency battery and to ensure continuous operation of the device or system (such as a cash register, monitoring system or UPS).
Cyclic operation of the AGM battery - in contrast to buffer operation, the AGM gel battery is connected to the charger only when a recharge is needed or there is a possibility of connection to the power supply. In this model, batteries typically work in equipment such as cleaning and garden machinery or electric vehicles.

AGM battery chargers - how to charge a gel battery?
Most manufacturers recommend a constant-voltage method with current limitation for charging AGM-type gel batteries. Among the devices that implement the charging process in this model are modern automatic chargers EST. Smart chargers for AGM gel batteries are also available in our offer.
