The GEL Battery 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 is a GEL battery of compact size but with great performance.

 

Characteristics of the GEL Battery 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12

The 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery does not require maintenance, as it is a sealed monoblock battery, so it can be installed indoors with poor 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 Ultracell UCG-98-12 12V 98Ah 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 shape of the 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery makes it easy to transport and handle. 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-98-12 12V 98Ah 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 that are taken as a habit it can significantly shorten its lifespan.

The Ultracell UCG-98-12 12V 98Ah GEL Battery is, like many of the batteries of its type and category, a 12V voltage, sealed monobloc and deep cycle GEL battery. The 12V are given because it has 6 cells that provide 2V of voltage each and are internally connected in series.

These types of batteries are called monobloc because the cells that provide the 12V go in a single block, unlike other types of batteries where several cells are needed to form 12V. It is sealed because it is of the VRLA type and does not require any maintenance, therefore we cannot access the interior of the battery as it happens with open lead acid batteries.

This peculiarity allows us to use the battery without problem in places without ventilation, since it does not emit gases and in delicate environments. As additional features, it is deep cycle, so it can better cope with deeper discharges. As a curiosity, with 80% downloads its number of cycles is approximately 600, while with 50% downloads we double the number of cycles up to 1200. It is a figure that we do not recommend going over if we want to keep a good number of cycles of life for our GEL Battery 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12.

Among the characteristics of the 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery we can list the following:

- Dimensions of 306 x 170 x 208 (214 including the connection terminal) mm.

- Approximate weight of 27 kg

- Capacity in C100: 98Ah.

- 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 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 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 the investment to long term is profitable.

The Ultracell UCG-98-12 12V 98Ah GEL Battery, from the world's leading manufacturer Ultracell, is a guarantee of durability and good performance. However, we must also remember the importance of using a suitable charger for this VRLA battery technology, which requires a lower charging voltage and respecting the charging intensity, which we do not recommend exceeding 10-15A for this battery model. On the other hand, if we use it in a solar installation, an appropriate charge regulator must be used, properly configured for the characteristics of the Ultracell UCG-98-12 12V 98Ah GEL Battery.

 

Common uses of the 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery

The 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery is a battery for any use such as small solar installations, lighting, signaling, auxiliary battery for caravans, etc. 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. In relation to the rest of the uses, what we have to keep in mind is that the 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery must remain charged most of the time, since its useful life is reduced if we have a low charge.

 

Installation of the GEL Battery 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12

The 12V 98Ah Ultracell UCG-98-12 GEL Battery must work in a vertical position, that is, with the terminals at the top. It can be laid down, but we insist that when it is in operation, the battery is internally designed to facilitate the recombination of gases and for its internal recirculation, it is conditioned if the battery is not installed in the appropriate position.

To extend the maximum duration of the Ultracell UCG-98-12 12V 98Ah GEL Battery, keep it in a cool and dry place, do not put it outdoors and make sure that it remains in an optimal state of charge most of the time.
