Stationary battery applications demand electrolyte stability, deep-cycle endurance, and minimal maintenance overhead – requirements that conventional flooded lead-acid technology frequently struggles to meet in demanding commercial or off-grid environments. The Rolls S2-486GEL is a 2V, 551Ah (C20) valve regulated gel battery from the Rolls OPzV range, engineered to address precisely these challenges in a robust, sealed format.
Rolls Battery Engineering combines immobilised GEL electrolyte with tubular positive plate technology in this OPzV design. The positive grid is produced via die-casting, and the gel formulation follows a patented compound designed to reduce acid stratification, suppress gassing, and extend cycle life across the deep-discharge profiles typical of solar, UPS, and telecoms installations. Construction conforms to DIN standards, ensuring dimensional and electrical consistency across the range.
The S2-486GEL measures 145mm × 206mm – 498mm (L × W × H including terminal) and weighs 37kg. Rated capacity is 486Ah at C10 and 551Ah at C20. Cold cranking amp, MCA, and Wh ratings are not applicable to this stationary gel cell. Terminal type and case material should be confirmed on the product label; polarity must also be verified from the label prior to installation. No direct cross-reference codes are confirmed for this unit.
The Rolls OPzV GEL range spans ten capacity variants from 224Ah to 1620Ah (C20), all at 2V nominal: S2-224GEL, S2-280GEL, S2-336GEL, S2-405GEL, S2-486GEL, S2-567GEL, S2-690GEL, S2-920GEL, S2-1150GEL, S2-1380GEL, and S2-1620GEL. This breadth allows system designers to configure battery banks precisely to capacity requirements without over-specifying.
The S2-486GEL is supplied with a 3-year warranty, providing assurance of product integrity under normal stationary service conditions. Warranty terms are subject to correct installation, charging, and maintenance in accordance with Rolls Battery Engineering guidelines.
