AGM/GEL battery brands recommendations?

Featured Replies

Im looking for 200ah AGM/Gel batteries for my inverter.

Can someone recommend some good,reliable brands i can buy locally online with high duty cycles.

Also whats the difference between AGM,Gel and AGM Gel batteries?Which are the best?

It depends on your intended load usage and budget, you can get from R3k and all the way up.

You need to compare not just the price but also the battery Life Cycles vs DoD. Anything with less than 500 @ 50% is a “cheapy” and will cost you more in a year or two that the saving you will make buying them (Remember eskom is projecting 18months of pain which means 3 years😜)

Anything with 1000+ @ 50% DOD should last you a few year. Lookup up AllGrand looks promising and not badly prices at about R4400 a pop, if you have the bucks, OmniPower is a nice one too, I think they have 240AH variant too just over 7k each.

Howver, I am no expert all above is just my opinion from my journey thus far and from the esteemed residence experts information sharing readup in this forum and others.

 

Good Luck
