Thank you @madness_za and @Kalahari Meerkat. your feedback is much appreciated. The reason I asked about the gel battery is because I have a contact who can source them for R 1K (brand new). So if I have to spend a grand every year or R10 K every ten years it wors out to be about the same but not such a big capital outlay in one shot!

Good day, I am a girl with no electrical knowledge and need some help please I have a 1KVA Mercer inverter with a deep cycle batter. The battery lasted for a year, and will now cost me about R4000 to R6000 to replace. I don't have the specs for the Mercer Battery as I have not opened my inverter up yet. Attached is the specs it says on the document however. The Gell battery specs I have been given are as follows. Can I put the gel battery in the inverter: This battery is 12 Volt and has a 100 amp/hours capacity. This Deep cycle battery Specifications - 12 Volt DC - 100Amp Hours - Terminal Type: M6 Net Weight: 25Kg Measurements: 340 x 190 x 270mm (L x B x H)
