What is the difference between a GEL and an AGM solar battery?

GEL copes better with daily deep cycling and prolonged discharges, so it is preferred in off-grid solar installations; AGM delivers more instant power and is more common in UPS-style backup.

How long does a gel battery last in a solar installation?

It depends mainly on the daily depth of discharge and the temperature. With moderate discharges and properly regulated solar charging, a deep-cycle gel battery delivers far more cycles than a conventional battery.

Do Ritar RA batteries need maintenance?

No. They are sealed VRLA gel batteries: no water topping-up or level checks, just a charge controller correctly configured with a GEL profile.

Can I connect them in series for a 24 or 48V system?

Yes. Blocks of the same model, capacity and age can be wired in series to build 24 or 48V banks, as is standard in medium and large off-grid installations.

RITAR RA batteries

Ritar RA batteries are 12V solar GEL batteries, from 50 to 250 Ah, designed for long-life off-grid photovoltaic installations. Their gelled electrolyte withstands daily deep cycling far better than a conventional starter battery.

They are the stationary battery for solar panels built for country houses, water pumping, rural telecom and stand-alone systems that charge and discharge every day. Sealed, maintenance-free and with very low self-discharge — ideal where nobody is around to check water levels.

There are 28 products.
