Maximum performance for demanding traction applications

The Sonnenschein GF 06 180 V is the specialist for mobile, electrically powered 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 a variety of small electric vehicles. Wherever machines have to work reliably and maintenance-free for many hours a 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 makes the battery not only absolutely leak-proof and maintenance-free, but also ensures excellent cycle stability and very low self-discharge. Unlike conventional wet batteries, acid stratification is prevented, which significantly extends the service life in heavy cycle operation.

Developed for longevity and cost-effectiveness

The GF-V series was developed for maximum cost-effectiveness and minimal downtime in professional use. The high cycle life reduces the need for premature replacement, thereby lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your fleet. The absolute maintenance-free design eliminates the time and cost of regular water topping up and ensures maximum occupational safety.

FAQs about the Sonnenschein GF 06 180 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 a longer period of time. It is extremely cycle-resistant, meaning it can be regularly deeply discharged and recharged, as is the case with daily use in, for example, cleaning machines. This distinguishes it from a starter battery.

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

The crucial advantage is absolute maintenance freedom. For a fleet of cleaning machines or lifting platforms, the time-consuming and error-prone checking and refilling of water is no longer necessary. In addition, the 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 currents flow here. C20 (discharge over 20 hours) is a common comparative value, where the rated capacity is higher.

How must 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 to any dealer who sells new batteries or to municipal recycling centres to ensure proper disposal.
