It's either a marketing term, or it's a clumsy tech writing mistake. I vote the latter.
The description for the regular batteries states that the plates are a silicate compound, not silicone.
The description for the gel batteries jumps back and forth between using silicate and silicone.
The company name is Silicone Batteries, which makes me think they are some marketing/selling outlet that is rebranding stuff they buy elsewhere (probably China) and the company itself may even simply be a Chinese company attempting to put forth a western storefront and they messed up the translations.
I'm not saying that the batteries themselves and the listed specs aren't legitimate, but it's a clumsy presentation.

When I saw a reference to silicone batteries in a flying discussion forum I first thought it had to be a typo or a joke.
