Technology inside the Sonnenschein GF12050V
Within the Sonnenschein catalogue, the GF12050V is the 55 Ah model designed for this application.
GEL technology fixes the acid in a solid gel. That removes maintenance and leaks and gives very long cycle life, in exchange for slightly slower recharging and lower peak current than an AGM.
How to make it last longer
Follow the manufacturer's charging regime and do not interrupt full charging cycles. Replace the complete set at once and watch the operating temperature in hot warehouses.

The Sonnenschein GF12050V comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. If it fails through a defect within the warranty period, we replace it at no cost to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Sonnenschein GF12050V a GEL battery? What is GEL used for?
Yes: in the GF12050V the electrolyte is gelled. It is a sealed lead-acid GEL battery. Designed for cyclic use (solar installations, motorhomes, electric wheelchairs, motorcycles), it tolerates deep discharges very well. Charge it only with a GEL-specific smart charger; its voltage limit is below that of an AGM.
What are the measurements of the GF12050V model?
It measures 275×175×190 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height; that is the European L3 case size. Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close.
