The GEL Battery 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 is a GEL battery of compact size and high performance.

Characteristics of the GEL Battery 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12

The 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 GEL Battery is a GEL electrolyte accumulator, so it is of the sealed type and can be installed indoors or in unventilated spaces.

It offers great resistance to weather conditions and excellent performance. Because it is a compact model, we have a good versatility of use, with technical characteristics that are very attractive compared to other batteries from renowned manufacturers.

The 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 GEL Battery is easy to transport and handle. Even if it is turned upside down, it will not spill acid, but it is recommended that it always remain in a vertical position. To optimize the useful life of the 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 GEL Battery, it is also recommended that its discharges not exceed 30%, so it is a battery that, although it does occasionally accept deep discharges if they are made. routinely will drastically reduce battery life.

The Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery is a 12V voltage, sealed monobloc and deep cycle GEL battery. It offers 12V because it has 6 cells of 2V voltage each and they are internally connected in series. It is of the monobloc type because it provides 12V in a single block, unlike other types where several vessels are needed to form 12V. It is of the sealed VRLA type and does not require any maintenance. Thanks to this quality we can use the battery without problem indoors or in places without ventilation. It is deep cycle, although with deep discharges we will significantly reduce its useful life. At 80% it offers about 600 cycles, while with 50% discharges we double the cycles up to 1200. We do not recommend exceeding this figure if we want to preserve a good useful life for our Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery.

Among other characteristics of the GEL Battery 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 we can list the following:

- Dimensions of 229 x 138 x 208 (including the connection terminal) mm.

- Approximate weight of 17 kg

- Capacity in C20: 55Ah.

- F6 type terminal for screw.

- Absolute limit voltage with discharged battery: 10.8V.

- VRLA battery without maintenance (Valve Regulated Lead Acid).

- GEL technology with acid mixed with silica powder.

- Lead plates with calcium to facilitate the recombination of gases.

The 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 GEL Battery, manufactured in GEL technology, guarantees us the best duration in monobloc batteries and the convenience of forgetting about maintenance. In return, the GEL technology is more expensive than the AGM and especially the open-lead technology, since its advantages are remarkable, mainly in terms of the number of life cycles of the same, so that the long-term investment term is profitable.

The Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery is from a leading global manufacturer like Ultracell, a guarantee of durability and quality. It is imperative to use a suitable charger for this VRLA battery technology, because it requires a lower charging voltage compared to a conventional battery and also to respect the charging intensity, which we do not recommend exceeding 5-10A for this battery model. If we use it in a photovoltaic solar installation, a charge regulator appropriate to its characteristics and properly configured for this Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery must be used.

Common uses of the GEL Battery 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12

The Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery is a battery that we can apply for multiple uses, such as lighting, signaling, small solar installations, auxiliary battery for caravans, etc. Avoid resorting to these batteries for traction applications such as wheelchairs, scooters, scooters, or that have to power an electric motor that moves a vehicle in general.

For other applications, it is always recommended that the Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery should remain charged most of the time because the useful life is progressively reduced the longer the battery remains discharged.

Installation of the GEL Battery 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12

The 12V 55Ah Ultracell UCG-55-12 GEL Battery has to work in a vertical position, with the terminals at the top. It can be tilted or laid down, but when it is in operation, it must remain vertical because internally the battery is designed to facilitate the recombination of gases and their internal recirculation.

The Ultracell UCG-55-12 12V 55Ah GEL Battery must be kept in a cool and dry place, do not put it outdoors and make sure that it is in an optimal state of charge at all times.
