The GF12050VG is one of the Sonnenschein references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue.
A GEL battery is the choice when cycle resistance and safety matter most: no gases, no liquid and thousands of partial discharges in its lifetime.
