Highlights at a glance

• Superior Dryfit® Gel Technology: Absolutely maintenance-free throughout the entire service life, maximum reliability and leak-proof.
• Extreme longevity: Classified as "Long Life" (12 years and more) according to Eurobat for maximum investment security.
• High cycle stability and deep discharge protection: Offers excellent recovery even after deep discharges.
• Rugged construction: Reinforced, impact-resistant housing for use under demanding conditions.
• Low self-discharge: High shelf life and always ready for immediate use in an emergency.

Maximum supply security for critical infrastructure

The Sonnenschein A512/60 G6 is the specialist for standby parallel operation, where immediate and reliable takeover of power in the event of mains failure is critical. Its main areas of use are uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for computer and server systems, emergency and security lighting systems, fire detection and alarm systems as well as power supply in hospitals and telecommunications systems.

Proven Dryfit® Gel Technology

The Dryfit® gel technology invented and perfected by Sonnenschein binds the electrolyte in a thixotropic silica gel. This not only makes the battery absolutely leak-proof and maintenance-free, but also provides excellent cycle stability and very low self-discharge. The internal gas recombination protects against capacity loss and makes operation especially safe and efficient without the need to top up water.

Developed for longevity and reliability

The A500 series was designed for maximum economy over its entire service life. The extremely long service life of 12 years or more considerably reduces the need for costly and time-consuming battery replacements in permanently installed systems. High manufacturing quality and the use of high-purity materials ensure consistent performance and thus contribute to the high operational reliability of the entire system.

FAQs about the Sonnenschein A512/60 G6 lead-gel battery

What is the main advantage of Dryfit® Gel Technology?

The decisive advantage is the combination of absolute maintenance freedom, highest cycle stability and extreme longevity. Compared to AGM batteries, gel batteries are often even more robust against deep discharges and offer very consistent output over a long period, making them the premium solution for critical standby applications.

What does the classification "Eurobat Long Life" mean?

Eurobat is the association of European battery manufacturers. The "Long Life" classification means that this battery is designed for an expected lifespan of 12 years or more under defined standby conditions (usually 20°C ambient temperature and correct trickle charge).

What is the difference between a standby battery and a starter or solar battery?

A standby battery such as this is optimised for standby parallel operation. It is continuously kept at a constant voltage (trickle charge) and only rarely needs to deliver energy. A starter battery is designed for short-term, high current. A solar battery (cycle battery) is optimised for daily deep discharge and recharge.

How should this lead battery be disposed of?

Lead batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of in household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge at any dealer selling new batteries or at municipal recycling depots to ensure correct recycling.
