Maximum performance for demanding traction applications

The Sonnenschein GF 12 076 V is the specialist for mobile, electrically driven machines and vehicles. Its main areas of application are industrial floor cleaning machines, electric lifting and work platforms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), electric pallet trucks and golf carts. Wherever machines have to operate 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 makes the battery not only absolutely leak-proof and maintenance-free, but also ensures excellent cycle stability and a very low self-discharge. Unlike conventional wet batteries, acid stratification is prevented, which significantly extends the service life in tough cycle operation.

Developed for durability and economy

The GF-V series has been developed for maximum cost-effectiveness and minimum downtime in professional use. The high cycle life reduces the need for premature replacement and therefore lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your fleet. The absolute maintenance-free operation eliminates the time and cost involved in regular water top-ups and ensures maximum work safety.

FAQs about the Sonnenschein GF 12 076 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, which means it can be regularly deeply discharged and recharged—as is the case in daily use with, for example, cleaning machines. This makes it different from a starter battery.

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

The key advantage is absolute maintenance-free operation. In a fleet of cleaning machines or lifting platforms, there is no need for time-consuming and error-prone checking and topping up of water. The batteries are also leak-proof and more robust against vibration, 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 (discharged over 5 hours) is the standard for traction applications, as this is where high currents flow. C20 (discharged over 20 hours) is a common comparison value where the nominal capacity is higher.

How should this lead battery be disposed of?

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