EZA 100Ah Gel Auxiliary Battery: reliable leisure energy to power your van every day

Fridge, LED lighting, heating, water pump, USB charger — all these on-board appliances constantly draw on your energy reserve. The EZA 100Ah Gel Auxiliary Battery (ref. 496190) is designed precisely for this intensive, repetitive use. Its gel technology — gelled electrolyte, sealed, maintenance-free — tolerates deep discharges of up to 85% of its capacity, where a standard AGM battery would begin to suffer. It handles between 800 and 1,100 charge/discharge cycles, meaning several years of intensive use in a van. Its very low self-discharge (1 to 3% per month) is a valuable advantage during long periods of inactivity.

Its resistance to low temperatures thanks to gel technology makes it a particularly suitable choice for vans and campervans that winter outdoors or for skiing enthusiasts. Sealed and protected against internal pressure variations, it can be installed upright or on its side depending on your fit-out configuration — a flexibility that is rare at this price. It is supplied with terminals, terminal covers and carry handles, and can be connected in parallel with up to 4 units to double or quadruple your storage capacity. For more demanding installations requiring a larger energy reserve, the EZA 120Ah Gel Auxiliary Battery offers 12 Ah more in a slightly bulkier format. Must be used exclusively with a gel-compatible charger.

How to install the EZA 100Ah Gel Auxiliary Battery?

Install the battery upright or on its side (not on its side face) in a dry, ventilated indoor space. Connect the supplied M6 terminals to the positive and negative posts, respecting the connection direction (positive first, negative last). A circuit breaker between the battery and the installation is strongly recommended to protect your wiring. Use exclusively a gel-compatible charger for recharging.
