Hi Bob,
What is your take on the Schumacher SEM-1562A battery Maintainer for gel
cell batteries. I have two 17 amp gel cells from B&C in my RV-4. Wired to
your spec's and NO electrical problems at all!
Best regards, Bruce Bell, RV-4 N23BB, 75 hours.

That series of maintainers are among those I've
tested for entirely adequate performance for both
charging (slow) and leaving hooked up forever
in the maintenance mode. At $20 or so at Walmart,
it's the best value out there right now.

"Gel" batteries are flooded batteries with some
jello added to the electrolyte to make it less
likely to leak. They're still a lead-acid device
that operates on the same chemistry as their
flooded ancestors and recombinant gas descendants.
The 1562 battery charger/maintainer offers
satisfactory performance for servicing your
batteries. You asked about a "gel" battery.
There are a lot folks that erroneously call
a sealed, vented, lead-acid, recombinant-gas
battery a "gel cell". I'm guessing that the
battery you're referring to is not a gel cell.
Gel batteries are still made and they're
preferred for deep cycle, spill-resistant
applications like wheel chairs. But they
make up a very small percentage of the
lead-acid battery market.
