Many people dont know that gel batteries are also a type of lead-acid batteries. Gel batteries are an improved version of ordinary lead-acid batteries. In traditional lead-acid batteries, the electrolyte is liquid, but in gel batteries, the electrolyte exists in a gel state. This gel-state electrolyte is made of substances such as silicate or silica gel, which can make the electrolyte more stable and reduce the risk of electrolyte loss and leakage. Its performance is better than that of valve-regulated sealed lead-acid batteries. It has strong adaptability to ambient temperature (high and low temperature), strong long-term discharge capability, strong cycle discharge capability, strong deep discharge and high current discharge capability. Gel battery manufacturer Radiance will show you the service life and advantages of 12V 200ah gel battery.

There are two measures for the life of the battery. One is the life of float charge, that is, under the standard temperature and continuous float charge state, the maximum capacity that the battery can discharge is not less than 80% of the rated capacity; the other is the 80% depth The number of cycles of charge and discharge, that is, the number of times that a full-capacity gel battery can be recycled after discharging 80% of its rated capacity and then fully charged.
Gel battery is a kind of cold-resistant battery. Ordinary batteries generally have low charging efficiency below 0 degrees Celsius, and cannot be charged and discharged normally below minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the battery life will also drop seriously. The emergence of gel batteries is to overcome the low temperature resistance of ordinary lead-acid batteries. The electrolyte of the colloidal battery is gel-like or water-based colloid. Although the battery life will still be affected in the cold winter, its working efficiency will be much higher than that of ordinary basic lead-acid batteries in cold weather from minus to minus 15°C.
Gel batteries have a longer life than traditional lead-acid batteries and can be used for a longer period of time.
The self-discharge rate of gel batteries is lower than that of traditional lead-acid batteries, and can maintain a charged state for a longer period of time.
The gel state electrolyte inside the gel battery can reduce the vibration and shock inside the battery, making the battery more durable.
Gel batteries can store more electrical energy in the same volume.
Post time: Apr-07-If the 2C cells are as well matched (unlikely) as the 12V cell , the it is the same, otherwise without an active Charge balancer, the weakest cell will age the fastest with runaway over/under charge with much lower MTBF.
If they are matched same or better, then it is the same energy storage.
Note Amperehours (Ah) is a unit of capacity and not current ; when multiplied with Volts the result is Watthours which is a unit of energy and not power.
12V lead acid battery is built with 6x 2V cells in series.

You'd use individual cells if...
you need a different voltage than 12V, that requires a number of cells in series that is not a multiple of 6
long term maintenance is more important than low number of parts, for example you can use extra hardware to balance the cells to make sure the cell with lowest capacity does not overcharge/overdischarge and die, you can also monitor each cell and replace the ones that go bad instead of replacing a complete battery, etc.
reliability: say you have 12 cells.
You can make 2x 12V batteries of 6 cells each, and wire the batteries in parallel.
You can also wire the cells in parallel (making 2V cells with twice the capacity) then wire these combined cells in series.
In both cases you get 12V and capacity is twice the Ah rating of the cells.
In the first case, the weakest cell of each battery will die first. When one cell dies in a battery, the whole battery becomes unusable, so this means when the two weakest cells die, both batteries are unusable, and the whole system dies.
In the second case, the weakest cells will also die first, but they will probably not be wired in parallel. So, two of your parallel 2V cell bunches will only run on one cell, which means the capacity of the whole system will be halved, but it will still be usable until you replace the dead cells.
Those 2V 200Ah are different technology, they have thicker plates. They also have more cycles, they are made for professional use. You will hardly get them on free market, the company will give the guarantee only if proper mounted (by them). They are not filled with acid, it is poured in-situ, they are expensive.
On the other hand you have a consumer battery 12V 200Ah, but it can't compare in quality, duty, clcles...
