Product Number: S2-280GEL
Variations
Deep-cycle stationary applications demand a battery chemistry that can withstand prolonged discharge cycles, high ambient temperatures, and years of continuous float service without electrolyte maintenance. The Rolls S2-280GEL is a 2V, 315Ah (C20) valve-regulated gel battery from the Rolls OPzV range, engineered to meet those requirements in off-grid solar, UPS, and telecommunications installations.
Rolls Battery Engineering builds the OPzV range around immobilised gel electrolyte combined with tubular positive plate technology, manufactured to DIN standards. The die-cast positive grid and proprietary gel formula work in concert to suppress electrolyte stratification and active material shedding, delivering a stable cycle life across a wide operating temperature range. The valve-regulated, sealed construction eliminates acid mist emissions, permitting installation in confined or occupied spaces without specialist ventilation." The S2-280GEL measures 124mm (L) × 206mm (W) × 382mm (H including terminal) and weighs 24kg. Rated capacity is 315Ah at the C20 rate and 280Ah at the C10 rate. Terminal configuration and polarity should be confirmed from the product label prior to installation. No direct cross-reference codes apply to this SKU; compatibility with a specific battery bank or charge controller should be verified against the published datasheet. "The S2-280GEL is one of ten capacity variants in the Rolls 2V GEL OPzV series, ranging from S2-224GEL through to S2-1620GEL, allowing system designers to configure strings for virtually any stationary energy storage requirement." This battery is covered by a 3-year warranty from Rolls Battery Engineering against manufacturing defects. "Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
FS Range With the ever increasing demand placed on batteries in today’s tough markets, reliability is key. Rolls 6V, 8V and 12V models incorporate a new plate design with a larger surface area and higher density paste, providing increased performance for high cycle applications. Powerful and dependable, these popular models provide ample power for floor cleaning equipment, golf cart, electric vehicles, traffic management systems & material handling equipment.

A. The S2-280GEL has a rated capacity of 315Ah at the C20 discharge rate and 280Ah at the C10 discharge rate. The C20 figure is the standard headline capacity used for stationary deep-cycle applications.
A. The S2-280GEL is a 2V monobloc cell, intended for use in series strings to construct 12V, 24V, 48V, or higher-voltage battery banks as required by the system design.
A. The OPzV range uses immobilised gel electrolyte combined with tubular positive plate technology. The positive grid is die-cast and the gel formula is proprietary to Rolls Battery Engineering. The battery is manufactured to DIN standards and is fully valve-regulated and sealed.
A. Terminal polarity should be confirmed directly from the label on the battery prior to installation. Rolls Battery Engineering advises checking the product label rather than relying solely on printed documentation, as label confirmation is the definitive reference for this SKU.
A. Because the S2-280GEL is a sealed, valve-regulated battery, it does not emit acid mist under normal operating conditions and does not require the forced ventilation mandated for flooded cells. However, basic ventilation best practice for battery enclosures should still be observed and local installation regulations consulted.
A. The range spans ten variants: S2-224GEL, S2-280GEL (this product), S2-336GEL, S2-405GEL, S2-486GEL, S2-567GEL, S2-690GEL, S2-920GEL, S2-1150GEL, S2-1380GEL, and S2-1620GEL. All are 2V cells, enabling large-capacity strings to be assembled at the same nominal cell voltage.
A. The S2-280GEL is covered by a 3-year warranty from Rolls Battery Engineering against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims should be raised through PartsForMachines; retain proof of purchase and installation records as these may be required to support a claim.
A. The S2-280GEL is dispatched on a standard parcel service with delivery in 1–3 working days to UK mainland addresses. A 30-day returns policy applies. For remote mainland postcodes, islands, or offshore destinations, delivery surcharges or extended lead times may apply – contact PartsForMachines prior to ordering to confirm.
A. Yes. The OPzV GEL construction — tubular positive plates, immobilised gel electrolyte, and valve-regulated sealed design — is well suited to off-grid and grid-tied solar storage, where batteries experience regular deep discharge and recharge cycles. Always verify compatibility with your charge controller's gel battery profile.
A. The battery measures 124mm (length) × 206mm (width) × 382mm (height including terminal) and weighs 24kg. These dimensions should be verified against your battery enclosure or cabinet specifications before ordering.
