Questions and answers
Can one person lift this battery?
10.66 kg is the listed weight. For larger batteries, a second pair of hands makes fitting safer.
Can I keep the Deka 8GU1 on a shelf before fitting?
It is a good idea. All batteries lose some charge on the shelf, so a top-up before fitting helps.
About the technology: gel
Silica powder turns the acid in a gel cell into a firm jelly. Solar storage benefits from gel's patience with repeated cycling. Pick charging gear that offers a proper gel profile.

Fitting and everyday care
Powerchairs used from morning to night cycle their batteries hard every day. If the chair is going into storage, charge fully first and top up every few weeks. Range that drops sharply over a few weeks usually points to worn batteries.
