MK Battery- 8G24 12V, 73 AH (20HR) Sealed Gel Cell Dual Terminal

The 8G24 12V, 73 AH (20HR) Sealed Gel Cell Dual Terminal battery from MK batteries is a nice battery which can be used for many purposes. It is a gel battery and hence offers many unique benefits.

Buying this battery is a one time cost, as its maintenance costs are almost nil. The battery is placed in a sealed cover construction and hence there will be no problems from corrosion created from the acid fumes and there is also no need to water the battery on a regular basis. In this battery, the electrolytes will never stratify and no equalization of charging is required. As a result, the recharging of the battery will be very fast.

The battery can withstand demands of heavy load as during that phase, the durability and deep cycle ability of the battery increases to a great extent. The stand loss of the battery is less than 2% and hence the damage to the battery will be substantially low during transportation or when it is stored for a long time.

The most important feature of the battery is that it works on gel cells. A gel cell is a recombinant battery where the oxygen produced in the positive plate recombines with the hydrogen of the negative plate.

This recombination produces water and it replaces the moisture in the battery. The battery is free from maintenance, as you will never need to water it again. In a gel cell battery, the gel cell shall never be opened as the cell will lose its pressure and the plates may get poisoned by the outside air and the recombination chemistry will get destroyed. The charging can be done in a fine manner due to the low internal resistance of this type of battery. The battery may get damaged if it is overcharged. Overcharging can cause serious damage because of the sealed design of this particular battery.

The length of the battery is 10.88x6.75x9.25 inches and the weight of the battery is 54 kilograms. It is priced at $215.78.
