Wet Cell (flooded), Gel Cell, and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
are various versions of the lead acid battery.
You may want to consider a Gel-Cell or an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) rather
than a Wet Cell if the application is in a harsher environment or the battery is
not going to receive regular maintenance and charging.
You must put back the energy you use immediately. If you don't the battery
sulfates and that affects performance and longevity.
Sulfation of Batteries starts when specific gravity falls below 1.225 or voltage
measures less than 12.4 (12v Battery) or 6.2 (6 volt battery). Sulfation hardens
the battery plates reducing and eventually destroying the ability of the battery
to generate Volts and Amps.
YOU must think safety when you are working around and with
batteries.
The hydrogen gas that batteries make
when charging is very explosive.
Remember you are messing with corrosive
acid, explosive gases and 100's amps of electrical current.
