Gelled Electrolyte and
Absorbed Electrolyte Batteries.

Everything you wanted to know...
But were afraid to ask.

        Click on a Question for the Answer...

1. How do we justify the premium price of gel batteries to those unfamiliar with this type of battery?
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of battery designs?
3. Why can't SVR batteries be opened? (What happens if they are?)
4. If calcium grinds don't do well in flooded deep cycle applications... how can Dynacell use calcium grids in gel cells for deep cycle?
5. Why do gel cells have such long cycle life compared to others?
6. Why do our gel cells have such a long shelf life?
7. Does the depth of discharge effect cycle life?
8. Why can't our gel cells be discharged too low?
9. Why does temperature have such a dramatic effect on batteries?
10. What is "acid stratification"? How do our gels prevent it?
11. How safe are SVR batteries? Can they explode?
12. How critical is recharge voltage? Why are SVR batteries so charge-sensitive?
13. How long does it take to recharge a fully discharged gel battery?
14. How can continual undercharging harm a battery?
15. How can we tell if an SVR battery is fully charged?
16. How can you tell if an SVR battery has been damaged by under or over-charging?
17. What is a "Float" charger? What "Float" voltage do we recommend?
18. How do I know if a charger is "Gel Friendly"?
19. Do gel batteries have a "memory" like ni-cad batteries?
20. If an application is outside, with temperature fluctuations, what is a safe charge rate or voltage setting, if a temperature sensing charger is not available?
21. Can an SVR battery be load tested the same as a flooded battery?
22. Why do some gel batteries bulge? Are there any visual signs of a faulty or plugged pressure relief valve?
23. How does a battery recharge? What is happening inside?
