How do you recharge a car gel battery left connected 8 months in an off road vehicle?
Gel batteries for vehicles are not inteded to be left for an extended period of time without at least a tricle charge. The best way to see if it is still any good is to put it on a charger that produces 1/1000th of the batteries amp rating and leave it there for 48 hours. this extremely slow charge will keep the battery from exploding and can re-excite the battery's chemical reaction.
What is the best battery to use for a car not used very much?
A Gel-Cell battery would be good, but even better would be to put a constant float charger/maintainer like the ones they sell at Advance Auto or even harbor freight tools for 20 bucks or so.
What is gel battery?
Batteries contain something called electrolyte. In things like car batteries the electrolyte is often a liquid, which can be messy since liquids can leak. A gel battery is simply a battery using a gelled electrolyte.

How do you charge a maintenance free battery on 2001 limited pt cruiser?
For a maintenance free battery, you need an automatic charger, I recommend one that has a switch for gel batteries as they tend to be more gentle in 'gel' mode, also use the slowest trickle charge option. Also look for the feature 'maintenance mode' or float charging, as these really help the battery. You just plug in overnight, and can turn off at your leisure with these types, and usually have a light so you know for sure they are ready. The idea is to reduce the internal gassing of the battery, which in a maintenance free battery, you cant top up the water, so you need to be much more careful.
I want to add sulfuric acid or electrolytes to gel motorcycle battery. what do i use?
Adding sulfuric acid or electrolytes to a gel motorcycle battery is not recommended. Gel batteries are sealed and do not require electrolytes or additional acid. If your gel battery is not functioning properly, it may need to be replaced. Additionally, adding sulfuric acid or electrolytes to a gel battery can be dangerous and cause the battery to overheat or explode. If you are having trouble with your gel battery, it is best to take it to a battery specialist for inspection and/or replacement.
Do sealed dry charged battery need water?
You answered your own question. Sealed dry or gel type battery need no maintenance other than keeping a full charge on them
If you have a 123 Watt 7 amp solar panel working on charging a 12 volt 225 amp hour gel battery how long will it take the solar panel to charge the gel batter?
You need to provide many more details. So assuming that the panel voltage is reasonable, the panel is clean, it is sunny and the panel is pointed at the sun. Then it will take about 225/7 hours to charge the battery. About 300 hrs. But in fact charging is only about 85% efficient (charge at 14 V get energy out at 12V or so). This ups the charge time to maybe 350 hrs or so. Charging can be improved by inserting a MPPT charger between the battery and the panel. This bit of electronics decouples the battery voltage and the panel voltage allowing the panel to be operated at its' most efficient voltage. That might knock off 15% of charge time bringing you back to 300 sunny hours.
Do you put distilled water in a gel battery?
No,, distilled water is not used in a gel battery. The sulfuric acid is mixed with silica fume rather than distilled water. This is what makes the gel.
Why wont 2005 v star not start battery is fully charged?
YOU HAVE TO TURN IT ON Actually, I learned this past week that if it is a gel type battery, you can get a false positive on the battery, so it looks like it is fully charged but actually is not. You can take the battery to your dealer to see if he can charge it or you need a new one.
Is a Gel battery charged differently from a Wet battery?
No. They are charged the same way.
Does letting the battery go dead ruin the battery at all?
Yes... unless it is a high quality gel battery (and then, yes). The lead from the plates drops off. Without seed lead on the plates, recharging the battery does not reform the lead on the plates. Thus, every time one of the many plates in the battery is barren of lead, the battery will not fully charge that plate. If it happens frequently enough, all the plates will not accrue lead and thus will not hold a charge.
