The Sonnenschein GF12050V is a 55 Ah, 12 V traction battery for forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and aerial work platforms. Measuring 275 × 175 × 190 mm, it is the direct replacement for forklifts and pallet trucks fitted from the factory with a 55 Ah battery of this format.

  • GEL: excellent resistance to deep discharge and long cycle life.
  • Reinforced plates for repeated deep discharges.
  • Sealed and safe indoors.
  • Direct replacement in size and connections.

What the Sonnenschein GF12050V is for

With 55 Ah, the Sonnenschein GF12050V forms part of the traction sets of forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and aerial work platforms. Follow the manufacturer's charging regime to extend its life. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 20 kg and AP terminals.

Size, terminals and hold-down of the Sonnenschein GF12050V

It has external dimensions of 275 × 175 × 190 mm and weighs 20 kg. It uses AP terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.

What Sonnenschein does differently

Sonnenschein batteries with dryfit® technology have equipped power wheelchairs, cleaning machines and industrial vehicles for decades thanks to their reliability and cycle life. All the Sonnenschein batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

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.

Warranty and coverage

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.

When you get it and how to return it

Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed before 6:00 pm: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for 14 days if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email.

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.

Sonnenschein GF12050V or Sonnenschein GF12050VG: which one to choose?

It has the same dimensions, voltage and technology as the GF12050V, although it is not a manufacturer-approved equivalent. Compared with the GF12050V it has the same Ah and cranking power. It costs 4,60 € more. Check the positive terminal side and the original capacity before ordering; otherwise it is a straight swap.

Sonnenschein GF12050V or Q-battery BATTERY-12GEL-51: which one to choose?

It has the same dimensions, voltage and technology as the GF12050V, although it is not a manufacturer-approved equivalent. Compared with the GF12050V it has 4 Ah less. It costs 70,50 € more. Check the positive terminal side and the original capacity before ordering; otherwise it is a straight swap.
