I did look at the link and read both pages for the standard and gel
batteries. You should do the same ... there is no way that the gel
batteries have both silicone and silicate plates, and the text uses both
interchangeably.
More importantly ... do a Google search like I did for "silicone
batteries". You won't find a single other reference to "silicone"
technology in a battery. Not a one. Now do a search for "silicate
batteries" ... you'll find lots of references to that technology.

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.

Anyone here had any experience with them?
