Gel Batteries

Gel batteries are frequently chosen in remote, automated power systems where a long, maintenance-free life is vital.

Unlike conventional lead-acid batteries, which can leak acid if damaged, gel batteries are classed as non-hazardous, and thus are considerably easier to transport - you can't take a conventional lead-acid battery in a plane for example! Gel batteries recover well from deep discharge, and can stand repeated charging cycles.
