Hello,

This may be a really stupid question, but can a gel type marine battery be used in a UPS?

Thanks

I don't think so. Gelcells are different than the sealed lead acid batteries found in UPS's. They have different charging requirements, and will discharge differently than SLAs. Probably best to purchase replacement batteries from the manufacturer...

HTH

Thanks for the info!!
