Size, terminals and hold-down of the Sonnenschein GF12160V

The Sonnenschein GF12160V is made in the 518 × 274 × 238 mm format and weighs 64 kg. It uses AP terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle.

Technology inside the Sonnenschein GF12160V

Within the Sonnenschein catalogue, the GF12160V is the 196 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.
