Gautam Solar has launched its new gel battery for domestic and international markets. This addresses the need for energy storage solutions for solar power plants, telecom & rural electrification, the Delhi-based company said in a release.
With recent instances of lithium batteries catching fire, there is a need for safer energy storage devices. Gautam Solar’s gel batteries are cost -effective, thermally stable, long lasting and sealed maintenance free with no topping up ever required, the release noted.
The company expects its gel batteries will give a strong and better alternative in the energy storage space where Lithium Battery and Tubular Lead Acid batteries are currently being used.
Global gel battery market
With an estimated value of $2.07 billion in 2021, the global gel battery market is expected to swell by 2027. Tubular gel batteries offer incredible advantages over standard batteries when paired with Solar PV systems. Gel batteries are extremely durable, lightweight, and can endure extreme temperature fluctuations, which make these an ideal choice for the renewable sector. Gel batteries contain of gelled electrolytes, which minimizes the risk of evaporation, spillage, and use-related corrosion, the release said.
Meeting the growing demand
Gautam Solar intends to reap these benefits for the domestic and international energy storage market, which has been witnessing an upward trend, especially due to the increasing costs of petroleum products. Their new gel battery would be a commercially-viable energy storage device for solar energy production. Because these batteries don’t have as much weight as standard batteries, and don’t require any re-filling of acid/water, the transportation in India and exports wouldn’t be a hassle.
Unique features
Gautam Solar’s Gel Battery has excellent deep discharge capability, high recharge efficiency, superior cycle life and long shelf life. tubular gel batteries have extensive demand and applications in energy storage and distribution, telecommunication, and electric mobility. The new tubular gel battery comes with a leak-proof design featuring high-grade polymer. Besides requiring no maintenance, the product has been entirely made in India. The company promises excellent battery backup and long service life for its innovative range of batteries.
