Compatible Replacement Battery

This nickel-zinc battery is built as a direct replacement for Gama Sonic solar lighting fixtures using part number GS12_8V60. It delivers 12.8 volts and 3000 milliamp-hours of capacity, matching the original electrical specifications. The pack includes a fully decoded chip so the fixture recognises it immediately. Installers can follow widely available online videos for a straightforward swap.

Capacity and Runtime

The 38.40 watt-hour rating provides enough stored energy for typical overnight illumination cycles in compatible solar fixtures. Performance scales with the solar panel input and the fixture's power draw, so run-time will vary by installation. The chemistry supports repeated daily charge and discharge without the memory effect seen in older nickel-cadmium packs. Extremely long winter nights or heavily shaded panels may exceed the available reserve.

Nickel-Zinc Chemistry

Nickel-zinc cells operate at a higher voltage per cell than nickel-metal-hydride, allowing the 12.8 volt nominal output in a compact 212.80 by 73.60 by 30.00 millimetre form factor. The chemistry is incompatible with chargers designed for lead-acid or lithium-ion profiles, so the original solar controller must be used. Buyers whose fixtures require a different voltage or connector type cannot use this pack.

Questions about this item

Will this 12.8V 3000mAh nickel-zinc pack fit the same compartment as my original Gama Sonic GS12_8V60 battery?

Yes, it matches the original dimensions of 212.80 x 73.60 x 30.00 mm and weighs 797.0 g, so it occupies the same space in compatible Gama Sonic solar lighting fixtures.

How can I confirm the battery is delivering the rated 38.40 Wh after installation?

Let the fixture run through two or three full charge and discharge cycles; the integrated decoded chip then reports capacity the same way the original battery did.

Does the package include a charger or only the single 12.8V 3000mAh cell?

Only the replacement battery cell is supplied, protected by shock-absorbing foam; a compatible charger must be sourced separately.
