Gel (GFT) Technology:

Gel technology has a number of advantages over the equivalent AGM battery range, particularly for telecommunication applications such as:

• Increased durability and deep cycle ability for heavy demand
• Full recovery from deep discharge even when battery is not immediately charged (PSOC)
• Suitable for unstable main power, tolerates AC ripple well
• High tolerance to discharge when a full charge has not been achieved (high cyclic rate)
• Improved cycle life — Limiting design protects the positive plates
• Superior performance with longer discharges
• Operates cooler — gel technology provides better thermal transfer
• Wider operating temperature range when compared to AGM
