Lead-acid batteries use a dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte, while gel batteries incorporate silicon dioxide into the lead-acid electrolyte. This modification wraps the electrolyte in silicon dioxide and enhances adsorption in the AGM separator, improving cycle life.
- Temperature Ranges: The operational range for lead-acid batteries is 20℃ to 45℃, whereas gel batteries can function from -40℃ to 50℃. Gel batteries demonstrate superior discharge performance at extreme temperatures.

Here we had a test:
2. Characteristics of Real Gel Batteries: True gel batteries have an electrolyte that transitions between liquid and solid states. The colloid electrolyte should permeate the entire battery. Many market offerings labeled as gel batteries do not meet these criteria.
3. Service Life: Lead-acid batteries typically have a lifespan of 5-6 years, while gel batteries can last between 10-12 years, offering longer service and better reliability.
