Gelled batteries do OK for emergency lighting and alarm purposes where they might have a .0001% duty cycle. They live a long life with correct maintenance voltage
But like a Hungarian movie actress. One false move and they slash their wrist.
The best gel battery ever made was a Sonnenschein. And compared to even a spiral cell AGM they were inferior for anything other than work as outlined in the topmost paragraph.
I surely would stand on my head trying to chuck the gelled batteries for an AGM replacement. Charger performance would serve fine.
