What is the difference between the Absolytes AGM technology and gel cells?
To immobilize the electrolyte in a gel cell, the electrolyte is mixed with fumed silica then the cell is filled while the mixture is still liquid. In time, the mixture gels similar to what one observes with “Jello”. In GNB’s Absolyte cells, the electrolyte is absorbed in the glass separators (similar to a sponge).
