Characteristics Of Gel Battery

Gel batteries belong to a development classification of lead-acid batteries. The method is to add a gelling agent to sulfuric acid to make the sulfuric acid electro-liquid into a colloidal state. Batteries in which the electro-hydraulic is in a gel state are usually called gel batteries. The difference between the gel battery and the conventional lead-acid battery is from the initial understanding of electrolyte gelation to the study of the electrochemical characteristics of the basic structure of the electrolyte, as well as the application and promotion of grids and active materials. Its most important feature is: use a small industrial cost to produce a better quality battery, its discharge curve is straight, the inflection point is high, its energy and power are more than 20% larger than conventional lead-acid batteries, and the lifespan is generally conventional lead. The acid battery is about twice as long, and its high temperature and low temperature characteristics are much better.

From the initial understanding of electrolyte gelation, it has been further developed to the study of the electrochemical characteristics of the electrolyte basic structure, as well as the application and promotion of grids and active materials.

The most important features of gel batteries are as follows:

①: The inside of the colloidal battery is mainly SiO2 porous network structure, there are a large number of tiny gaps, which can make the oxygen generated by the positive electrode of the battery migrate smoothly to the negative electrode plate, which is convenient for the negative electrode to absorb and combine;

②: The gel battery has a large amount of acid, so its capacity is basically the same as that of the AGM battery;

③: The internal resistance of colloidal batteries is relatively large, and generally does not have good high-current discharge characteristics;

④: Heat is easy to diffuse, not easy to heat up, and the probability of thermal runaway is very small;
