Though you can find GEL's in that size Let me talk about three kinds of battereies
Standard Lead Acid (IE GC-2 flooded wet) are fairly forgiving of charge irregularities but
AGM are even less finicky eaters Especially LIfeline you can charge them and FAST.
GEL's however you need to really baby them They charge slower you charge them at the same rate you'd charge Flooded (30% C/20) they die quickly..
I would recommend against GEL cells.
That said OPTIMA among others sometimes advertise their AGMs as GELs
