Our company sells a few thousand batteries (sealed lead acid and gel) per month for use with electronic security products. Different size from a bikes battery - 7ah. However a battery is a battery.
From my experience, the gel batteries are more expensive than the lead acid ones. Therefore are purchased in lesser amounts. The benefit of the gel battery is that is can be used in any position - where the lead acid must remain upright. A battery should never be allowed to discharge below 10V - a low battery cut out can be used to prevent this. Inexpesive part that will greatly improve battery life cycle.
The gel batteries handle low volt discharge better.
Gel batteries are said to be safer to the environment.
The gel batteries are stronger than the lead acid batteries and last longer in our industry.
