Maximum performance for demanding traction applications

The Sonnenschein GF 12 110 V is the specialist for mobile, electrically driven machines and vehicles. Its main areas of application are industrial floor cleaning machines, electric lifting and working platforms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), electric pallet trucks and golf carts. Wherever machines need to work reliably and maintenance-free every day, this battery provides the necessary energy.

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 life and very low self-discharge. In contrast to conventional wet batteries, acid stratification is prevented, which significantly increases the service life in demanding cycle use.

Engineered for longevity and cost efficiency

The GF-V series has been designed for maximum cost-effectiveness and minimal downtime in professional use. The high cycle life reduces the need for premature replacement and thus lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) for your fleet. Total maintenance-free operation eliminates the time and expense of regular water refilling and ensures the highest work safety.

FAQs about the Sonnenschein GF 12 110 V lead-gel battery

What does "traction battery" mean?

A traction battery (or drive battery) is specially designed to supply electric motors with energy over an extended period. It is extremely cycle resistant, meaning it can be deeply discharged and recharged repeatedly, which is typically required in daily use such as cleaning machines. This distinguishes it from a starter battery.

What is the main advantage of Dryfit® Gel technology in traction applications?

The decisive advantage is total maintenance freedom. With a fleet of cleaning machines or lifting platforms, the time-consuming and failure-prone checking and topping up of water is eliminated. In addition, these batteries are leak-proof and more robust against vibrations, which increases operational safety in mobile use.

What do the capacity specifications C5 and C20 mean?

The capacity of a battery depends on how quickly it is discharged. The C-rate indicates the discharge current. C5 (discharge over 5 hours) is the standard for traction applications, as high current flows are involved. C20 (discharge over 20 hours) is a common comparison value, and the nominal capacity is higher.

How must this lead battery be disposed of?

Lead batteries contain environmentally hazardous substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge at any dealer who sells new batteries or at municipal recycling centres to ensure proper recycling.
