GBS12-85 BB Battery 12V85AH for Golf carts, Telecommunications facilities, Alternative energy, Power supply networks and the energy industry, Street lighting and traffic signals
The Zelus GBS series GBS12-85 is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) gel battery. Its nominal voltage is 12 V, its nominal capacity is 85 Ah at the 1-hour rate, its weight is 29.5 kg, and its standard terminal type is I2. Gelled electrolyte fills the battery so heat conducts easily to the case, and gelled electrolyte immobilizes the acid and prevents stratification. The battery is maintenance free (no water addition required) and it has a low self-discharge rate, less than 2% capacity loss per month, so it holds capacity well in standby and intermittent duty. Precise distribution of valve opening and closing pressure is critical to battery (cycle) life, and the reinforcing rib design maintains structural integrity. GBS offers long cycle life and lasting performance at high temperatures. Typical uses are medical equipment, lawn mowers, golf carts, telecommunications facilities, alternative energy, power supply networks and the energy industry, street lighting and traffic signals, electric vehicles, data processing centers and floor cleaning equipment.

Product details
The GBS12-85 belongs to the Zelus GBS series, a group of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries that use gelled electrolyte. The core technology mixes sulfuric acid with fumed silica to form an immobilized gel, which addresses the electrolyte evaporation, spillage and related corrosion problems common to conventional flooded batteries, and gives the battery greater tolerance of extreme temperatures plus strong resistance to shock and vibration. The series uses a valve-regulated system that safely vents gas produced inside when needed. In construction it resembles a non-sealed wet battery, but the antimony in the lead plates is replaced with calcium, which keeps good mechanical properties while markedly lowering the tendency to gas.
GBS series batteries are offered at 6 V or 12 V overall voltages with capacities from 7 Ah to 225 Ah, and they support horizontal or vertical installation. Under normal operating conditions the expected service life of the series reaches 12 years, and the deep-cycle design delivers a cycle life of up to 2500 cycles, which meets the Eurobat standard for long-life batteries. The GBS12-85 has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a nominal capacity of 85 Ah at the specified discharge rate, weighs about 29.5 kg (65.04 lb), and its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into a variety of equipment.
The main advantage of this battery is the combination of solid lead coating technology and gelled electrolyte, which secures maximum capacity and deep discharge capability. The gel completely fills the interior of the battery and helps heat conduct evenly to the case, improving lasting performance in high-temperature environments. Gelling the electrolyte effectively prevents acid stratification and keeps performance steady. The battery is fully maintenance free and needs no periodic water addition. Its self-discharge rate is extremely low, less than 2% capacity loss per month, which suits long standby or intermittent use. In addition, the special valve provides precise control of opening and closing pressure, which is essential for optimizing internal gas management and extending battery cycle life.
Thanks to its reliability and durability, the GBS series suits uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, fire and security alarm systems, emergency lighting and monitoring systems, telecommunications facilities and various medical equipment, and it is also widely used for street lighting, traffic signals, golf carts and floor cleaning equipment. In renewable energy fields such as solar photovoltaic plants and wind power systems, its long cycle life, high-temperature tolerance and maintenance-free advantages come fully into play, providing stable and lasting power support for communication equipment backup or off-grid solar energy storage.
