Exide Tubular Gel Solar Battery Overview

Gel Tubular Energy Storage Designed for Solar Cycling

Exide Tubular Gel Solar Battery combines the mechanical characteristics of tubular positive plates with the convenience of maintenance-free gel-electrolyte technology.

The range uses Exide Torr Tubular positive plates together with immobilised gel electrolyte manufactured for solar battery applications.

Gel immobilisation addresses electrolyte stratification and supports operation under partial-state-of-charge conditions frequently encountered in solar energy systems.

The battery architecture is designed for repetitive deep-cycle duty where charging availability depends on changing solar-energy conditions.

Enhanced behaviour during asymmetrical charge and discharge cycles makes the range suitable for applications where daily energy generation and consumption patterns vary.

A low recharge factor supports faster recovery of discharged capacity when charging energy becomes available.

Gel construction removes the routine requirement for electrolyte water topping and provides a sealed battery format for solar applications.

SOLATRON configurations include both compact 12V batteries and higher-capacity 2V cells for compatible solar storage architectures.
