    Hello.
    I have a 12v 1.2Ah TALVICO gel battery which is not hiding it is approaching the end of its life. It looks like it holds the voltage, but its capacity has dropped significantly - the measurements show that this capacity has dropped to 131mAh.
    I would like to resuscitate him somehow, for this I took off the lid to get to the plugs and it turned out that two of them were sucked in. Somewhere on the forum I read that it is a sign of lack of water, but how much truth is there?
    I am asking my colleagues for help.
    Best regards!

    Only the exchange, by the way, its price (PLN 20-30) is not prohibitive.

    You've seen water in a gel battery because I haven't yet.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    He's not a gel, it's AGM. It is here that we call "gel" for everything that is not "acidic".
    There is no point in taking care of such a baby, replace it with a new one.

    Go out of here and keep your voice low. Both gel and AGM batteries are lead-acid batteries. The only difference is the method of binding the electrolyte so that it does not have the form of overflowing liquid, as in traditional batteries. The new one costs around PLN 20 - it makes no sense to do anything with it, the more so that I do not see the possibility of replenishing the electrolyte - how to re-soak the liquid-binding "mats"?

    Complexes are a threat when you read such curiosities on a technical forum.

    See some subtle differences between "acid" and "acid"? As a moderator, it would be fitting to read comprehensively and have a little more respect for other users. You also didn't discover America with your statement that these batteries are acid batteries. It's like the obvious.

    Buddy, an acid battery is an acid battery. Do you see the difference? A non-acid battery is e.g. an alkaline battery. Not only is it technically completely different, but also chemically.

    How can you read nonsense? If you still have doubts, read the first sentence of this post again.

    So let's stick to this "obviousness" - this is a technical forum and an acid battery, let an acid battery remain - regardless of the consistency of the electrolyte. Because positive and negative advantages have already been processed a quarter of a century ago.

    I don't see the point in explaining the difference to you, and I don't want to argue like that with you. So ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a 12V 1.2Ah TALVICO gel battery that has experienced a significant drop in capacity, measuring only 131mAh. The user seeks advice on reviving the battery, noting that two of the plugs appear to be sunk, which may indicate a lack of water. Responses indicate that the battery is likely an AGM type rather than a true gel battery, and many participants suggest that attempting to revive it is futile due to the low cost of replacement (approximately PLN 20-30). The conversation also touches on the technical distinctions between gel and AGM batteries, emphasizing that both are lead-acid batteries but differ in electrolyte binding methods.
