Heavy industrial traction applications demand deep-cycle power sources capable of sustained discharge across long shift cycles without risk of electrolyte spillage or ongoing maintenance intervention. The Sonnenschein GF12160V is a 12V 196Ah gel traction block from the GF-V (dryfit? traction block) range, engineered specifically for demanding motive power environments where reliability and cycle life are critical operational requirements.
Built on Sonnenschein's established dryfit? technology, the GF12160V is a VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid) battery in which the electrolyte is permanently immobilised within a gel matrix. This construction eliminates electrolyte stratification, prevents acid spillage in the event of tilt or vibration, and removes the need for water topping-up throughout the service life of the battery. The design is rated to 700 deep cycles, making it well suited to regular charge? Discharge duty. The sealed, maintenance-free architecture reduces total cost of ownership in fleet and industrial settings.
The GF12160V measures 518mm (L) × 274mm (W) × 238mm (H) and weighs 62.5kg. It is fitted with a Type 1 terminal configuration, polarity code 4, and hold-down type B00. No direct cross-reference codes are listed for this unit; operators should verify fitment against the original equipment specification or existing battery compartment dimensions before ordering.
This product is part of the Sonnenschein GF-V range. Related 6V variants available from PartsForMachines include the GF06160V1 (6V 160Ah), GF06180V (6V 180Ah), and GF06240V (6V 240Ah), enabling flexible series or parallel configurations to suit specific voltage and capacity requirements across a range of industrial vehicles and platforms.
The GF12160V is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Suitable applications include automated guided vehicles (AGVs), mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), ride-on cleaning machines, walk-behind pallet trucks, and electric vehicles.
