Frequently asked questions
Is the Sonnenschein GF06160V1 a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?
Yes: in the GF06160V1 the electrolyte is gelled. It is a sealed lead-acid GEL battery. Take care when charging: it requires a smart charger with a GEL mode, because it accepts a lower charge voltage than an AGM. Designed for cyclic use (solar installations, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles), it tolerates deep discharges very well.
What are the measurements of the GF06160V1 model?
Its dimensions are 246×192×275 mm, also written 246x192x275 mm; the height already includes the terminals. Check the room available in your device, because a single millimetre too much can stop the clamp from closing.
Sonnenschein GF06160V1 or Sonnenschein GF06180V: which one to choose?
Same case and same technology as the GF06160V1: an alternative by size, not an official equivalent. Compared with the GF06160V1 it has 4 Ah more. It costs 12,65 € more. If the polarity matches and your equipment had a similar capacity, it works as a replacement; if in doubt, ask us with your model.
