Q 1. What is the nominal voltage and capacity of the Rolls S2-486GEL?

A. The S2-486GEL is a 2V nominal valve regulated gel battery with a rated capacity of 551Ah at the C20 rate and 486Ah at the C10 rate.

Q 2. What battery technology does the Rolls S2-486GEL use?

A. It uses OPzV technology, combining an immobilised GEL electrolyte with tubular positive plates. The positive grid is die-cast and the gel compound is based on a patented formula designed to minimise acid stratification and extend deep-cycle service life.

Q 3. What is the polarity orientation of the S2-486GEL?

A. Polarity must be verified directly from the label on the battery prior to installation. PartsForMachines does not confirm polarity remotely for this product; always check the physical label.

Q 4. Is the Rolls S2-486GEL suitable for automotive start-stop applications?

A. No. This is a stationary deep-cycle OPzV gel cell intended for applications such as solar energy storage, UPS, and telecoms. Cold cranking amp and MCA ratings are not applicable. Suitability for start-stop use is not confirmed.

Q 5. Does the S2-486GEL require ventilation or produce gas during normal operation?

A. As a valve regulated (VRLA) gel battery, the S2-486GEL is sealed and recombines internal gases under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated installations. However, adequate ventilation is still advisable as a precaution; consult the Rolls Battery Engineering installation guidelines for specific requirements.

Q 6. What other capacity options are available in the Rolls OPzV GEL range at 2V?

A. The range includes ten variants: S2-224GEL, S2-280GEL, S2-336GEL, S2-405GEL, S2-486GEL, S2-567GEL, S2-690GEL, S2-920GEL, S2-1150GEL, S2-1380GEL, and S2-1620GEL, covering capacities from 224Ah to 1620Ah at C20.

Q 7. What manufacturing standard does the Rolls S2-486GEL conform to?

A. The battery is designed and manufactured in accordance with DIN standards, ensuring dimensional and electrical consistency across the OPzV range.

Q 8. What warranty is provided with the Rolls S2-486GEL?

A. The S2-486GEL carries a 3-year warranty. Cover is subject to correct installation, appropriate charging equipment, and maintenance carried out in accordance with Rolls Battery Engineering recommendations.

Q 9. How is the Rolls S2-486GEL delivered and what is the returns policy?

A. The S2-486GEL is dispatched on a pallet and typically arrives within 3–5 working days to UK mainland addresses. Contact PartsForMachines directly for a delivery quote. A 30-day returns policy applies.

Q 10. What are the physical dimensions and weight of the S2-486GEL?

A. The battery measures 145mm (length) × 206mm (width) × 498mm (height including terminal) and weighs 37kg.
