The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery is a sealed maintenance-free monobloc GEL technology battery.

 

Characteristics of the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery

The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery is a sealed monobloc type 12V battery because it is made up of 6 2V cells delivering a total voltage of 12V.

In the family of lead batteries, gel is the battery technology that provides the longest useful life, as it supports a greater number of charges and discharges, with the best models reaching 1,200 cycles with 60% discharges.

 

Use of the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery

The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery is a special battery to be used in electric traction, this means that it is indicated for wheelchairs, electric scooters, scooters, golf carts, etc.

Any other brand of battery than MK will not give you satisfactory performance in these applications. MK is a specialist in GEL and AGM batteries for electric mobility devices.

Always charge the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery through a charge regulator or a battery charger to maintain the voltage within adequate levels, consult the battery's technical data sheet to find out if your charger is the right one and the voltage is correct in the float stage. These GEL batteries do not require equalization, so you have to take into account that the battery must not exceed 14.4V in its charging process.

When we use the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery, we always have the doubt of knowing the discharge percentage or the available reserve, just like when we see it on the mobile. In a lead battery, the measurement is not as exact, and we have to take into account several factors so that the figure is close.

If we apply it to a device such as a wheelchair or electric scooter, we can see the remaining energy through a small screen or indicator. We do not recommend leaving the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery in low charge, as we will greatly reduce its life cycles. We advise leaving it charging or connected to the charger when not in use and keeping it charged for long periods of inactivity.

In the event that the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery is charged through a conventional battery charger, this should not exceed 15% of the battery's capacity. For example, if it is a 100Ah battery, the battery charger should not exceed 15Ah of current. With this, we prevent excessive gamification from being generated inside that could cause the deformation of its container.

The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery better withstands deep discharges compared to other AGM or open lead batteries. As it is a sealed battery, it is not necessary to monitor the liquid level of water, as it happens with open lead-acid batteries.

However, it must be taken into account that the batteries must remain in an area with reasonable temperature and humidity climatic conditions. There are specific models that withstand extreme operating conditions; Learn about it, so you can choose the right one.

 

How is the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery

The cells of the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery are reinforced with a grid and special insulation, minimizing evaporation, which is redirected back inside the battery.

For this reason, when a gel battery is in use, the working position of the battery is very important, usually with the terminals at the top. Sometimes it is thought that since it is sealed and will not leak, it does not matter how we place it, but that is not the case.

The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery better withstands shocks and vibrations since the electrolyte is gelled and not in a liquid state as in open lead batteries. It does not emit gases to the outside, since it is hermetically sealed and there is no danger of spilling the electrolyte, which makes it a very safe battery of the highest quality within the group of lead batteries.

 

Battery Capacity GEL MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V

The dimensions and weight of the MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery can be verified in the attached technical sheet and in the technical characteristics. Make sure that the space you have is sufficient to accommodate it. It must also be taken into account that the working position of the battery is vertical, with the terminals at the top.

The MK 8GU1H 31Ah 12V GEL Battery has various charge measurements in Ah. The value of 'C10, C20 or C100' basically indicates the number of hours elapsed at a constant discharge until the battery remains at a certain voltage (10.5V) so that the battery gives its capacity in Ah.

Various tests are done at various time intervals and the manufacturer chooses whether to mark the battery capacity as C10, C20, C100, etc. Make sure that the battery meets the required capacity so that its use is not at the limit of its possibilities and its life cycles are drastically reduced.
