The 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL Battery is a GEL battery that does not require any maintenance.

 

Characteristics of the GEL Battery 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12

The 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL Battery does not require maintenance, as it is a sealed monoblock battery, so it can be installed in indoor places with little ventilation. It is also a battery that, because it is made of ABS, has great resistance to the most demanding external conditions and is very resistant to the sulfuric acid that it stores inside.

The 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL Battery has high quality and durability as well as excellent performance and versatility of use, it is a very competitive battery in the photovoltaic sector and with technical characteristics that are very attractive in comparison with other batteries from well-known manufacturers.

The compact size of the 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL Battery allows it to be transported and handled. Even if it is overturned, it will not spill acid, but it is recommended that it not be overturned during transport or during handling, nor of course, during operation.

To optimize the useful life of the Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL 12V 138Ah Battery, it is also recommended that its discharges not exceed 30%, so it is a battery that, although it does occasionally accept deep discharges that are taken as a habit it can significantly shorten its lifespan.

The GEL Battery 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 is a 12V voltage, GEL type and deep cycle battery. It is 12V, which is the most common voltage measurement, although internally it is made up of 6 cells in series that provide 2V of voltage each.

It is of the VRLA class and more specifically of the GEL type because the manufacturing technology of this battery is the most advanced within the monoblock lead batteries. Its electrolyte is combined with silica powder and has a GEL-like consistency. This does not move and is in contact with the lead plates instead of being liquid, moving with each vibration suffered by the battery.

 

This allows us the following:

- No maintenance throughout its useful life, since the battery is sealed.

- Greater durability, since being deep cycle this technology allows us to exceed 3000 life cycles with slight discharges of less than 30%.

- Easier to transport, due to the fact that the battery does not spill liquid even if it is knocked down.

- Greater resistance to vibrations, so it gives very good results as a service battery in caravans.

- Being able to install it in a place without ventilation or in delicate environments such as power supply for hospital devices and the like.

The 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL Battery, from the manufacturer Ultracell, the world's leading brand in batteries, a guarantee of quality and performance. The importance of using a suitable charger is maximum, since according to the characteristics of this battery we should not exceed 15-20A of maximum charging current and respecting the voltage indicated in the technical data sheet. In the same way that if we use it in a solar installation, a properly configured charge regulator must be used and making sure that the Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL 12V 138Ah Battery has the appropriate charge for its consumption.

Common uses of the GEL Battery 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12

The Ultracell UCG-138-12 12V 138Ah GEL Battery is a battery for many purposes. It is widely applied in small solar installations, lighting, signaling, auxiliary battery for caravans, feeding low consumption in field huts, etc.

On the other hand, it should not be used for applications intended for traction batteries such as wheelchairs, scooters, scooters, or that have to power an electric motor that moves a vehicle in general. To preserve the maximum useful life of the Ultracell UCG-138-12 12V 138Ah GEL Battery, it should not remain discharged for long periods of time.

 

Installation of the GEL Battery 12V 138Ah Ultracell UCG-138-12

The Ultracell UCG-138-12 12V 138Ah GEL Battery must be installed vertically, with the terminals at the top. Although sealed batteries do not leak liquid, they cannot work lying down, since internally it is designed to facilitate gas recombination and its internal recirculation is not correct if the battery is not installed in the indicated position.

To take care of the Ultracell UCG-138-12 GEL 12V 138Ah Battery, extreme temperatures must be avoided, such as outdoors, both in winter and in summer.
