gel battery is a new type of battery, with a colloidal electrolyte that can be accommodated by the electrolyte. Gel batteries are an improvement on ordinary lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolytes. Colloidal electrolytes are used to replace sulfuric acid electrolytes, which improves safety, storage capacity, discharge performance, and service life compared to ordinary batteries.

Advantages of gel battery

(1) Long lifespan

Gel batteries have a longer service life, usually lasting for 3-5 years or even longer. This is because the gel battery adopts special materials and manufacturing process, and has strong durability and anti-aging ability.

(2) Safe and reliable

Gel batteries use lead-acid battery technology, which makes non liquid electrolytes less prone to leakage, explosion, and other safety hazards such as over discharge and overcharging. This makes gel batteries have high safety and reliability in some special applications.

(3) Good low-temperature performance

Gel batteries can still operate normally in low-temperature environments and have good discharge performance. Therefore, when used in extreme weather conditions, there is no need to worry about the performance of the gel battery being affected.

Several drawbacks to gel batteries

(1) Low energy density

Compared to other battery technologies such as lithium batteries, colloidal batteries have low energy density and cannot provide high range and power output.

(2) Long charging time

Colloidal batteries take a long time to charge, usually taking more than 6 to 8 hours to fully charge. This limits the use of colloidal batteries in certain applications.

(3) High weight

Because colloidal batteries use lead-acid battery technology, they are heavier than other battery technologies such as lithium batteries, which limits the use of colloidal batteries in certain applications where portability is required.

As a new type of battery technology, gel batteries have a wide range of application prospects in some special applications. Although there are some drawbacks of gel batteries, its advantages such as long life, safety, reliability and good low temperature performance make it the first choice of solar lighting towers. With the continuous development of science and technology, it is believed that the performance and characteristics of colloidal batteries will be improved and optimised in the future.
