Technical FAQs 4

Can a BMS be used with a battery pack?

The information above refers to manufactured battery packs with a supplied BMS. Besides those, there are also companies selling seperate BMS-es intended to be used with self built lithium batteries. These are typically used when manufactured batteries with integrated BMSes don't meet the requirement of the application, or to save costs.

Are gel batteries better than AGM batteries?

Gel batteries have a thick electrolyte and are less vibration resistant than AGM batteries. AGM batteries are of higher quality and are able to achieve optimum capacity at all temperatures, AGM batteries are well suited for all high amperage needs and have a very low self-discharge rate.

Do gel batteries need maintenance?

Gel batteries require almost no maintenance, while AGM batteries require regular inspection and maintenance.

Are gel batteries better than colloidal batteries?

Gel batteries are relatively less powerful and are mainly suited for lower amperage currents. The cost of AGM batteries is lower than that of colloidal batteries, mainly due to the difference in electrolyte, which is more expensive for colloidal batteries.
