Product advice
Is CG12-22 – 12V 22Ah Advanced Carbon Gel Battery right for you?
The CG12-22 is a 12V 22Ah Advanced Carbon Gel battery, part of the wider VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) family but using a gelled electrolyte rather than the glass mat and liquid acid found in standard AGM batteries. Carbon additives in the gel improve charge acceptance and cyclic performance, giving this battery an edge over standard AGM for certain use patterns.
Compared to AGM, this gel battery offers greater deep-discharge tolerance and a longer cycle life, making it a sensible upgrade recommendation if you're covering longer daily distances on a mid-range pavement scooter or powerchair, or if you've previously found your AGM battery's life shortened by intensive, regular daily use.
Because gel batteries can have different charging requirements to AGM batteries, it's worth checking that your charger is suitable for gel technology before switching, as using the wrong charging profile can shorten the life of either battery type. If you're unsure, check your charger's specification or speak to your supplier before ordering.
Buyer questions
CG12-22 – 12V 22Ah Advanced Carbon Gel Battery FAQs before you enquire
Clear answers to the questions customers usually ask before booking a free home demo.
How is this different from a standard AGM battery?
This battery uses a gelled electrolyte rather than the glass mat and liquid acid found in AGM batteries, with carbon additives that improve charge acceptance and cyclic performance. It offers greater deep-discharge tolerance and a longer cycle life than standard AGM.
Who is this battery best suited to?
It's recommended for heavy daily-use applications, where the battery is regularly discharged and recharged, or for anyone who has experienced shorter-than-expected life from an AGM battery due to intensive use.
Can I use my existing AGM charger with this battery?
Not necessarily. Gel batteries can have different charging requirements to AGM batteries, and using the wrong charging profile can shorten the battery's life. Check your charger's specification or speak to your supplier before switching technologies.
Do I need to buy two of these?
Most mobility scooters and powerchairs run on a 24V system, which typically needs two 12V batteries wired in series. It's worth checking your device's existing battery setup or manual to confirm how many you need.
Is VAT relief available on this battery?
No, mobility batteries are charged at the standard 20% VAT rate and are not eligible for VAT relief, regardless of disability or long-term illness status.
