Title: Gel Battery Recommendations?
Post by: webslappy on April 15, 2019, 03:42:44 AM

Looks like I need a new battery. I've had several people mention getting a gel battery but want to make sure I get one that's compatible. Any recommendations?

How much money you got? Har, har! A gel battery will be more expensive than a normal AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery but not as expensive as any with Lithium. Gel is very durable and will not drip even when upside down. I know! We had to salvage an airplane the boss had crashed and the two gel  batteries were upside down for over 24 hours and not a drop came out! Other than small tabs for cover latches being broken the cases were intact and they still worked! Their output were not anywhere near a ni-cad.
