Installation and maintenance tips

A boat moored with a solar panel keeps its battery topped up slowly. Add temperature compensation if the batteries live in a room that swings from hot to cold. A battery that rests noticeably lower than its neighbours may pull the whole bank down.

The gel technology explained

Gel batteries are sealed and valve-regulated, much like AGM. Hours-long gentle drains, such as lighting or pumps, suit gel well. Store gel batteries charged and topped up every few months.
