Deka Sealed Gel Cell Batteries
The best battery for remote area solar applications.

solar batteryThe East-Penn Deka line of sealed gel cell batteries are field-proven with tens of thousands of solar installations all over the world. These perform well in cold and hot climates. In cold climates, their capacity loss is minimized due to low temperatures. In hot weather climates, these outlast traditional AGM batteries due to the Deka gel electrolyte formula.

Perfect for maintenance-free applications

The Deka Solar battery series of valve-regulated, gel electrolyte batteries are designed to offer reliable, maintenance-free power for solar energy applications where frequent deep cycles are required and minimum maintenance is desirable.

Applications:

Remote Residential - Communications - Water Pumping - Cathodic Protection - Remote Monitoring - Vaccine Refrigeration - Tower Obstruction Lighting - SCADA - RTU - Wind Power LED Beacons - Wind Generation - DC UPS - and Much More!

Features:

· Minimal maintenance, never needs water
· Shock absorbent thick wall polypropylene cases
· High purity lead calcium-tin alloy grids (patented)
· Classified as non-hazardous, non-restricted for surface transport
8G8D Battery· Safe for air transportation (IATA A-67)
· Non-spillable
· Recombination reaction (recombinant battery) prevents escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in flooded lead-acid batteries
· Great for deep-cycle applications
· May be operated in virtually any position (upside-down is not recommended)

Battery Terminal Review

About Gel Batteries

Gel electrolyte batteries are valve regulated lead-acid. In a gel battery, the electrolyte does not flow like a normal liquid. The electrolyte has the consistency and appearance of petroleum jelly. These are considered "non-spillable".

The "acid-starved" condition of gel and AGM batteries protects the plates during heavy deep-discharges. The gel battery is more starved than an AGM battery, giving more protection to the plate; therefore, it is better suited for super-deep discharge applications.
