What is Gel AGM Battery
 
 

Gel AGM Battery use different technology compared to lead acid batteries. It uses a fibre Boron-Silicate glass separator which absorbs the electrolyte. Gel AGM Batterys are spill proof.During the charging of Gel AGM Battery, Hydrogen and Oxygen is generated, and due to the presence of small catalysts the hydrogen and oxygen combines to form water. The recombining results in nearly zero water loss and wears out heat generation too.The charging techniques and voltages used for charging AGM batteries are similar to standard batteries.

 

Benefits of Gel AGM Battery
 

They have a high-power output
Because of the way that they are designed, the Gel AGM Battery have minimal internal resistance. This, therefore, enables them to provide sufficient bursts of power when necessary, such as when one needs to start a battery. Due to this feature, these batteries respond better to loading than any other battery on the market.

 

They have a longer lifespan
Gel AGM Battery have a longer lifespan than traditional flooded batteries. Moreover, not only do they serve for a more extended period when they perform the same tasks, but they also last longer when they are not in active use. This is because self-discharging is minimized in these batteries, unlike other types of batteries, which is a huge problem. This ensures that one does not have to keep charging them after an extended period of inactivity.

 

They are durable
These Gel AGM Battery were originally designed to serve the aircraft industry. This means that they have a sturdy design, one that can handle conditions of intense vibrations, just like those in military and commercial aircraft. Because of this property, they are a favorite for high-end motorcycle riders and race car drivers. The sandwich construction method adopted in their design ensures that their internal components do not fall apart. Moreover, they are invulnerable to the subsequent wear and tear that may result from frequent and continuous vibrations. Furthermore, they can withstand extreme temperature variations.

 

They are unlikely to build up sulfation
Sulfation is the property of lead-acid batteries, where there is a gradual accumulation of lead sulfate crystals in the cells. In most cases, it is the cause of failure in lead-acid batteries. Sulfation mostly occurs when the battery is not fully charged, and thus the crystals continuously build up on the plates. When this process goes out of hand, it prevents the efficient conversion of chemical to electrical energy. Therefore, for other types of lead-acid batteries, it is essential to charge them every six months to prevent sulfation. However, in Gel AGM Battery, sulfation is significantly reduced. Therefore, they can be stored for extended periods without needing a recharge.

 

Application of Gel AGM Battery

Electrochemical Reactions in Gel AGM Battery

Charging Process

The battery, in general, receives an external voltage supply at the charging electrodes. This results in electrons being transferred from the positive plate to the negative one, producing hydrogen ions (H+) at the negative and sulfate ions (SO4^2-) at the positive plate.

Discharging process

At this stage, when a device or load is connected to the battery, all the reactions reverse back. Therefore, during discharging, electrons flow from the negative plate towards the positive, and therefore, current flows, thus energizing a connected device. The cycle repeats itself up to the time its capacity has been depleted.

Voltage Stability

Due to their stable voltage, AGM batteries provide power steadily in the course of their discharge cycle. This makes them preferable to use in applications where switch-on and switch-off operations in the supply voltage are critical.

Deep Discharge Tolerance

With the capability of allowing a deeper discharge compared to other conventional lead-acid batteries, the AGM batteries find even more applications in applications working with frequent deep discharges, such as those found in renewable systems.

 

Gel AGM Battery Components

Electrode sheets
Electrode sheets are metal foils (known as current collectors) coated with a paste that contains materials like graphite, iron, carbon, and lithium agents. Two types are manufactured: anodes are made of copper and carry the negative current, and cathodes are made of aluminum and carry the positive current.

Separator sheets

Separator sheets are made of a porous material (typically polyolefin) that allows them to bath in liquid electrolyte. They are inserted between electrode sheets to create a physical barrier that prevents short circuits.

Liquid electrolyte

Liquid electrolyte is poured into cells and absorbed by the separator sheets. It allows the electric current to go through the separators.

Cell casings

Cell casings are typically made of nickel-plated steel, as the nickel plating prevents the steel from reacting with the electrolyte. Casings can also be made of aluminum for the same reason.

 

How to Choose Gel AGM Battery

 

 

Power Requirements of Application
One of the first things to consider is the power requirements of the application. AGM gel batteries come in different capacities, usually measured in ampere-hours (Ah). Capacity refers to the amount of energy that the battery can store and deliver over a specific period of time. To determine the right size, you need to calculate the total energy consumption of the device or equipment. This can be done by adding up the power requirements of each device and estimating the time of use.

 

Physical Size of the Battery
Another important factor to consider is the physical size of the battery. AGM gel batteries come in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit different applications. It is crucial to ensure that the battery can physically fit in the designated space without any issues. Also, consider the weight of the battery, especially if it is to be installed in a mobile application such as an RV or boat.

 

Compatibility
In addition, the charging system and compatibility with the AGM gel battery must be considered. AGM gel batteries require specific charging configurations to ensure proper charging and prevent overcharging or undercharging. It is recommended to consult with the battery manufacturer or an expert to determine compatibility with your charging system.

 

Size
When choosing the right size AGM gel battery, it is important to keep in mind the intended use and specific requirements of the application. By considering factors such as power requirements, physical size, and compatibility with charging systems, you can ensure you choose the right size battery for your needs.

 

 
Process of Gel AGM Battery
 
01/

Mixing the Electrode Materials
The first step in electrode manufacturing is the precise mixing of electrode materials. This process blends crucial components, such as lithium compounds and conductive additives, to form a homogeneous mixture. Achieving the perfect blend ensures the electrode's performance and overall battery efficiency.

02/

Formation of Slurry
Once the materials are mixed, a conductive binder is introduced to create a slurry. This slurry-like substance facilitates the coating process during the next stage. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and conductivity of the electrode.

03/

Coating onto Current Collectors
The slurry is then evenly coated onto current collectors, typically made of copper or aluminum foil. A controlled application ensures uniformity, thickness, and optimal adhesion of the electrode material. This coating process forms the foundation of the electrode's structure.

04/

Drying and Calendaring
After coating, the foils are subjected to a drying process to remove solvents and moisture. This step ensures the integrity of the electrode structure and prevents potential defects. Subsequently, calendaring machines apply pressure to adjust the physical properties of the electrodes, enhancing their mechanical stability.

05/

Cleaning and Cutting
Once the electrodes are finished, they undergo a cleaning process to remove any residual impurities or contaminants. Then, they are meticulously cut into narrow strips, preparing them for the subsequent stages of the battery production line.

06/

Vacuum Oven Treatment
Finally, the cut electrodes are sent to a vacuum oven for thorough drying. The controlled environment within the vacuum oven removes any remaining moisture, ensuring the electrodes' optimal performance and quality.

 

How to Maintain Gel AGM Battery
 

 

1

Check the Electrolyte Level
One of the most important aspects of lead-acid battery maintenance is checking the electrolyte level regularly. The electrolyte level should be checked every 1-3 months, depending on the battery's usage and the environmental conditions. The electrolyte level should be above the top of the plates but below the level of the vent caps.Distilled water needs to be added to raise the sodium content if it is too low. Never add tap water or any other type of water, as this can cause the battery to degrade more quickly.

 
2

Keep the Battery Clean
Another important aspect of lead-acid battery maintenance is keeping the battery clean. The battery's terminals may become clogged with dirt and detritus, which shortens the battery's lifetime and makes the battery discharge more rapidly.To clean the battery, use a wire brush or a battery cleaner spray to remove any dirt or corrosion on the terminals. When cleansing the battery, make sure to put on mitts and safety goggles to prevent coming into touch with the electrolyte.

 
3

Charge the Battery Regularly
Even when not in use, lead-acid batteries need to be charged on a frequent basis. If a battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it can cause sulfation, which is a buildup of lead sulfate crystals on the plates. The volume and efficiency of the battery may be affected.To prevent sulfation, charge the battery regularly, especially if it is not being used frequently. Use an adapter made for lead-acid batteries and charge the battery according to the manufacturer's directions.

 
4

Store the Battery Properly
It's crucial to maintain your lead-acid battery correctly if you need to keep it for a long time. The cell needs to be kept in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and sunshine. Make sure the battery is completely charged and unplugged from any equipment or gadgets before putting it away.

 
5

Monitor the Battery's Performance
Finally, it's important to monitor the battery's performance regularly. This can be done by checking the voltage and specific gravity of the electrolyte using a voltmeter and a hydrometer, respectively. If the battery's performance is decreasing or it is not holding a charge, it may be time to replace the battery.

FAQ

 

Q: What is an AGM and GEL battery?

A: In AGM batteries, the electrolyte is trapped in a sponge-like mat of woven glass fibre separator material; in a GEL battery, the electrolyte is mixed with a silicate additive which immobilizes (changes) the electrolyte into a GEL-like material consistency.

Q: How do you charge an AGM GEL battery?

A: Select 12 volts to match the voltage of your AGM battery. Connect the charger to your car battery posts. Again, check the indicator lights and make sure they're set to AGM or Absorbed. Start the charger and wait two to eight hours to fully charge your AGM battery.

Q: What happens if you charge an AGM battery with gel charger?

A: Using the gel setting to charge an AGM battery will not fully charge and over time will actually damage your AGM battery. Lower is better - A low amp charger (1 to 10 amps) is always the best choice for charging any lead acid battery.

Q: Why do AGM batteries fail so often?

A: For AGM batteries, it is important to avoid long-term storage without routine charging, discharge currents exceeding the maximum allowable current, and discharge depths exceeding 50%. These situations may cause the battery not holding charge.

Q: How to tell if battery is AGM or gel?

A: How To Recognize AGM and Gel Batteries? The AGM lead-acid batteries will be labeled as AGM, or Absorbed Glass Mat, or dry cell, sealed regulated valve, non-spillable, or valve-regulated on the label. On the other hand, the gel-filled lead-acid batteries come with a Geld filled' label on the battery.

Q: Do AGM batteries need a special charger?

A: First, look for a charger that has a specific setting for AGM. It's best to avoid chargers that claim to charge any battery with one algorithm. Most "one size fits all" products typically only do a mediocre job at best when they try to account for everything under one umbrella.

Q: Can you jumpstart an AGM battery?

A: As mentioned above, jump starting AGM batteries is very straightforward. That said, our Booster PAC and Jump-N-Carry traditional jump starters use AGM batteries in them and are legendary for their power and durability. Whether jumping flooded batteries or AGM, they answer the call day after day, year after year.

Q: Is it okay to use a trickle charger on an AGM battery?

A: Never use a ``trickle'' charger on an AGM battery. Even if they are very low amp voltage can rise to dangerous levels. Wet cells can tolerate overvoltage but AGM batteries cannot. For long storage periods, it is much safer to disconnect the battery.

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad AGM battery?

A: If it is defective, you might identify discoloration, bulging in the case, a broken terminal, or a ruptured case. Such damages can cause a short circuit, which would later lead to the melting of the cells. In worst-case scenarios, your battery could explode while you are driving.

Q: What is the lifespan of an AGM battery?

A: About seven years
AGM batteries last about seven years and are ideal for vehicles with start-stop technology. Lithium Battery Lifespan. Ideal for electric cars and golf carts, lithium batteries have a wide lifespan range - as low as eight up to twenty years or between 100,000 and 200,000 miles.

Q: What happens if you use a regular battery instead of AGM?

A: Replacing an AGM with an EFB or conventional battery would be like using the wrong spare part. The battery life is shortened, and the performance of the Start-Stop and comfort functions of the vehicle are not guaranteed. Therefore, replace AGM only with AGM!

Q: Which is better, an AGM or gel battery?

A: AGM Batteries have a lower internal resistance that allows for much faster charging and better performance under heavy load conditions. AGM Batteries will most likely also perform better than GEL in colder operating conditions, and AGM is often less expensive as an option for getting reliable power.Gel batteries are sealed units, so unlike fluid-based batteries you cannot access the cells. The best way to fix and restore a gel battery is to discharge it as much as possible and then charge the battery slowly.

Q: Is it bad to leave an AGM battery on the charger?

A: That's why they're less commonly used in situations that require high cranking amperes (i.e. to start a boat), and more often in deep cycle uses when steady, reliable power is needed (i.e. to power a motorized wheelchair). Overcharging an AGM battery can lead to reduced battery life.

Q: What does AMG stand for in batteries?

A: Absorbent glass mat
AGM means absorbent glass mat and refers to the fine glass fiber separator between the positive and negative plates that helps absorb all the battery acid. AGM Batteries are advanced lead-acid batteries.

Q: How to tell if a battery is AGM?

A: This is a special type of glass material that acts as a sponge, soaking up any extra water in the battery. You can tell if your product has an AGM by looking for "AGM" on the label, or by using the model number to look it up on the manufacturer's website. If you're not sure where to look, ask us!

Q: How do I keep my AGM battery healthy?

A: Always charge AGM batteries whenever possible. Deep or prolonged discharging leads to sulfation and shortens battery life. Be sure the positive and negative battery terminals never touch; otherwise, this could result in a fire or explosion. Protect batteries from heat and cold as much as possible.

Q: What are the weakness of AGM batteries?

A: These AGM batteries, compared to flooded batteries, have a low tolerance to overcharging and high voltages. If they are subjected to these conditions, it shortens their life span.Unlike a flooded-cell battery, an AGM can be immediately damaged by overheating the electrolyte. Once the water boils from the electrolyte through a pressure sensitive venting valve, it can't be replaced.

Q: Do I need a different charger for AGM batteries?

A: AGM batteries do not require a special or specific charger to be used. All you will require is a special charging mechanism that puts out the required voltage to charge your battery. Therefore, you will require a smart charger as with it, and you will be able to fully charge your battery.

Q: What can damage a gel battery?

A: This liquid does make it spill-proof, like our AGM batteries, but the gel is fragile, and can be easily burned if used in high amperage situations. Things like quick charging, high discharge, or other intense situations are all likely to cause serious damage to a gel battery, making it fail even if it's barely used.

Q: What kills AGM batteries?

A: AGM batteries are 12 volts, like all car batteries, and can handle some higher voltage, but only up to a certain point. If a car alternator charges an AGM battery with a voltage higher than 15 volts, it can damage an AGM.
