the batteries which brings all cells up to the
same voltage potential, extends the battery life,
restores capacity and mixes the electrolyte.
This can only be done using the Freedom
Remote Control Panel or a Link Instrument.
Gel Cell Battery Gel Cell Battery
Gel Cell Battery Gel Cell Battery A type of battery that uses a Gel Cell Battery
gelled electrolyte solution. These batteries are
sealed and are virtually maintenance-free. Not
all sealed batteries are the gel cell type.

automotive use, the result of attaching one
battery cable to the body or frame which is
used as a path for completing a circuit in lieu of
a direct wire from a component. This method
is not suitable for connecting the negative
cable of the inverter to ground. Instead, route
the cable directly to the negative terminal of the
battery.
