Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
This battery is also know as a "gel-cell." This battery is used when very high power is required and is the most powerful type of rechargeable battery on the market today. The Sealed Lead Acid battery is a very versatile battery and performs best at higher temperatures.

The Sealed Lead Acid battery is very heavy! It weighs at least twice as much than any other rechargeable battery on the market. To get the longest life out of this battery, it must always be stored in a charged condition. If you leave in a discharged state it will cause the lead in the battery to interact with acid, causing it to sulfate. One this happens, you cannot recondition the battery. Also, a Sealed Lead Acid battery should NEVER be fully discharged.
