What difference between Acid ,Lead and Gel Battery?
Answer:
Lead Acid batteries come in two types.
Where the acid is liquid this must be kept upright and the levels topped up occasionally with distilled water. This is the type commonly found on cars, trucks and small boats. These can be big capacities.
The gel type has the acid in gel so that it can not fall out of the battery. These tend to be used for back-up lighting and are used in smaller applications with lower current and lower maintenance requirements.
A regular car battery is called a 'lead acid' battery. It has lead plates that sit in an acid. A more modern type of battery is called a 'gel battery'. The acid is a gel, not a liquid, so it doesn't spill out when the battery is tipped. This is a nice thing to have in motorcycles, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, etc., where the vehicle might not always be in the upright position.
Both are lead acid batteries. One has the electrolyte in liquid form, i.e. sulphuric acid/water, the other has a similar electrolyte in a non-flowable gel form.
