A.B.S. UL94-HB UL94-V0 OptionalThe differences between AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries and GEL (Gel) batteries can be summarized in the following aspects:
1. Form of Electrolyte
AGM Battery: Uses glass fiber mats to absorb the electrolyte, where the liquid electrolyte is absorbed into the mats and remains in a suspended state. It is liquid but immobilized to prevent leakage.
GEL Battery: Uses silica to turn the electrolyte into a gel-like substance. The electrolyte becomes a gel, which further reduces its mobility, offering better leakage resistance.
2. Durability
AGM Battery: Suitable for high current discharge and fast charging, commonly used in starter batteries or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Due to the higher mobility of the electrolyte, it has high charging and discharging efficiency but has a shorter lifespan after deep discharges.
GEL Battery: Has stronger deep discharge capabilities and a longer lifespan, making it ideal for long-duration power supply systems such as solar energy storage or backup power. It has slightly lower efficiency, especially during high-current discharges.
3. Charging Performance
AGM Battery: Can withstand higher charging currents and charges more quickly, but is not suitable for prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
GEL Battery: More suited for slower charging and generally requires longer charging times but performs better in high temperatures or harsh conditions.
4. Usage Scenarios
AGM Battery: Commonly used in automotive starter batteries, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), and marine batteries.
GEL Battery: More suitable for applications that require longer lifespan, such as solar photovoltaic systems, wind energy storage systems, and telecom backup power.
5. Price
AGM Battery: Generally less expensive, suitable for budget-conscious applications where battery lifespan is not a critical factor.
GEL Battery: Typically more expensive than AGM batteries, but its long lifespan and high durability make it more cost-effective in specific situations.
Summary
If your application requires high discharge currents and fast charging, AGM batteries, especially Sunark's AGM batteries, might be more suitable. Sunark's AGM batteries are designed for excellent performance in high current discharge scenarios, offering faster charging times and greater reliability in demanding environments. Our AGM batteries also provide a cost-effective solution for applications like automotive starters, UPS systems, and marine use, where efficiency and affordability are key.
