• Genuine Deep-Cycle Performance: Designed for deep and regular discharge operations without capacity loss.
• Absolutely Maintenance-Free and Leak-Proof: Sealed construction allows installation in any position and indoors.
• Maximum Operational Safety: Extremely robust and reliable, ideal for daily, intensive use.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for electric wheelchairs, solar systems, cleaning machines and boats.

Maximum Performance for Demanding Cyclic Applications

The MK MU-1SLDG was specifically developed for tough, cyclic daily use. Its main area of use is in demanding rehab technology, where it supplies powerful electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters with lasting and reliable energy. As a storage battery in off-grid solar systems and in autonomous power supply, it proves its reliability. In addition, it is an excellent energy source for industrial cleaning machines, lifts and marine applications.

Advanced and Proven Gel Technology

Unlike conventional wet or AGM batteries, in a gel battery the electrolyte is thickened in a silica gel. This completely prevents any leakage and eliminates the need for topping up water. The gel technology offers excellent resistance to vibrations, very low self-discharge and above all an outstanding tolerance to deep discharges. This makes it the safest and most durable choice for intensive supply applications.

Focus on Longevity and Cost-Effectiveness

The MK Gel Battery is an investment in longevity and operational safety. Its ability to withstand hundreds of deep charge and discharge cycles reduces the necessity for premature replacement and therefore significantly lowers the total operating costs of your equipment. The high-quality workmanship and the use of high-purity materials ensure consistent power delivery and reliable performance throughout its long service life.

FAQs about the MK Gel Battery MU-1SLDG

What does "Deep Cycle" mean?

"Deep Cycle" means that the battery is designed to regularly deliver a large proportion of its stored energy (deep discharge) and then be fully recharged, without quickly losing capacity. This is essential for supply applications, in contrast to starter batteries, which only deliver high currents for short periods.

What is the main difference between gel and AGM batteries?

Both are maintenance-free nonwoven batteries. However, in gel batteries, the electrolyte is thickened like a gel, whilst in AGM batteries it is incorporated in a glass fibre mat in liquid form. Gel batteries generally offer even higher cycle stability and better tolerance to deep discharges, making them the premium solution for the most demanding supply applications.

Which charger do I need for this gel battery?

You need a modern, microprocessor-controlled charger with a special charging profile for gel batteries. The charging voltage for gel batteries is usually slightly lower than for AGM or wet batteries. Using the wrong charger can significantly shorten the battery's service life.

Can I connect two of these batteries in series to get 24V?

Yes, that is a very common application, especially in electric mobility, wheelchairs or for 24V solar systems. To ensure optimum performance and lifespan, you should always use two identical batteries (same model, same capacity) that ideally come from the same production batch and have the same charge level.

How should this lead-acid battery be disposed of?

Lead-acid batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of in household waste. You can return your old battery to any retailer that sells new batteries, or to local recycling centres, free of charge to ensure proper recycling.
