I have a set of gel cells and they are jello compound trapping acid. They are Lead Acid. When these batteries need to be reconditioned this means that some of the gel is probably missing from the plates. I add ALUM, I don't care why I am not suppose to do it, I did it and it works.

Gel cells will start working better if you add electrolyte, or else why would my cells have very large screw off caps right? Add acid if you must I don't.

I never read anything and just added ALUM to the cells, when they are charged the Acid leaves the top in overflow and if need be I will overfill and charge and let them run over till I have what I want.

ALUM BATTERY that was an ACID battery.

Try it, the worst that can happen is that the battery will do alot better. My gel cells were overfilled and set on constant current til the plates are reforming. The ALUM must be heavy and the ACID must be lighter because like I said what runs over is ACID released from the gel.

I recently did this to two 50ah gel cells and two 30ah. They all went up the long slow way that all converted ALUM batteries do this is how I know it worked.
