-This type of VRLA battery gelatinizes the electrolyte with SiO2 (silicon dioxide) to stabilize it.  While renowned for their exceptional duty cycle life, they are rarely used in campers due to cost, limited charging max similar to flooded((C/5, https://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/datasheets/Motive_T1275-AGM_DS.pdf and https://www.qsl.net/wb3gck/gel-cell.htm)), and sensitivity to overvoltage.  Some sources suggest C/20 is a safer max.((https://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/295747#Comment_295747))

 "Lead crystal" batteries may actually be gel, since they claim the electrolyte is made of SiO2.((http://azimuthsolar.ca/getting-silicon-dioxide-sio2-batteries-charging-instructions/)),((https://www.solarpaneltalk.com/forum/solar/the-pros-and-cons-of-solar-energy/22713-why-are-there-no-lead-crystal-battery-distributors-in-the-usa-or-canada?p=272482#post272482))
