Based on my search on PriceCheck, the top 12V 200AH gel batteries are: The 12V 200AH Gel Battery Sunertec is available for R5,999 from a few different retailers. It's a top-selling long-lasting gel battery. The Allgrand 12V 200AH Gel Battery Deep Cycle Battery can be found for R5,800. Allgrand is a well-known brand and this battery is ideal for solar/off-grid use requiring deep cycling. The Gel-vrla-battery STB-6GFM200 12V 200AH 10HR is priced at R5,096. It has a long 10 hour rating which means it can provide power for a long time. I hope this gives you a good idea of pricing for some high-quality 12V 200AH gel batteries! Let me know if you need any other information.
The typical lifespan of a high-quality 12V 200AH gel battery is 3 to 5 years. The Sunertec and Allgrand batteries I mentioned earlier are both excellent options known for their long lifespan. Gel batteries last longer than standard flooded lead-acid batteries as they are more resistant to spilling and damage from movement. Both of these brands use thick glossy plates which help minimize corrosion to maximise the number of charge/discharge cycles. The Allgrand battery in particular is designed for deep cycling in solar/off-grid applications, so it should provide several years of reliable service. I hope this helps provide some insight into what you can expect from a 12V 200AH gel battery! Let me know if you need any other details.
