Product details
The GBS6/XX5B.B. battery belongs to the Zelus GBS series, which is a valve - regulated lead - acid (VRLA) battery using a gelled electrolyte. Its core technology is to mix sulfuric acid with silica ash to form a fixed gel - like electrolyte. This GEL battery design almost completely avoids the common electrolyte evaporation and overflow problems of traditional flooded batteries, thereby effectively preventing subsequent corrosion phenomena. At the same time, the gel technology endows the battery with stronger performance, enabling it to better withstand extreme temperatures, shocks and vibrations. The valve regulation system of the battery can safely discharge the internally generated gas.In terms of structure, it is similar to wet (non - sealed) batteries, but uses calcium instead of antimony in the lead plates. This retains the mechanical strength of the plates, while significantly reducing the gas evolution tendency and improving safety.
The battery has a nominal voltage of 6 volts, with a nominal capacity of 215 ampere - hours (Ah) at the 108 - hour rate. Its capacity ranges from 7 to 225 Ah, which can meet various energy requirements. Its physical dimensions are 244 mm (9.61 inches) in length, 190 mm (7.48 inches) in width, and 275 mm (10.83 inches) in height. The total height is the same, and the weight is approximately 32.8 kg (72.31 lbs).The battery is equipped with standard I3-type terminals, and I4-type terminals are available as an option, providing users with a flexible connection solution. An important installation advantage is that the GBS series batteries support both horizontal and vertical installation positions, offering great convenience for system integration.
In terms of performance, the GBS series batteries are specially designed for deep cycle applications, aiming to provide maximum capacity and discharge cycle life. Under normal operating conditions, its expected float charge service life can reach 12 years, with a cycle life of up to 2500 cycles, meeting the definition of long-life batteries by Eurobat. The fully filled gel electrolyte inside (the battery) not only helps to evenly conduct heat to the shell but also effectively prevents acid stratification, ensuring the stability of performance.The battery is maintenance-free, requiring no water replenishment, and has an extremely low self-discharge rate, with a monthly capacity loss of less than 2%. The specially designed valve has precise on-off pressure control, which is crucial for optimizing the battery's service life during cycling. Additionally, it can maintain long-lasting performance in high-temperature environments.
With these technical parameters and functional details, the GBS6/215B.B. battery has become an ideal power source for numerous critical application scenarios. It is particularly suitable for renewable energy fields such as solar photovoltaic power stations and wind power generation systems, providing reliable support for energy storage.At the same time, it also serves as a backup power guarantee for key infrastructure such as communication equipment, medical devices, fire and safety alarm systems, emergency lighting, and monitoring systems. In public facilities, it is commonly used in street lighting and traffic signal systems. Additionally, this battery is also suitable for mobile electric devices such as golf carts and floor cleaning equipment. Whether requiring long-term float charge backup or frequent deep discharge cycles, the GBS series gel batteries can provide long-lasting, stable, and maintenance-free power solutions.
