Quick answer.
Gel battery can take more discharges and deeper rate of discharge.

I get an energizer gel battery for R750 but no warrenty.
Where are they stolen from Craig?
For that price they are either second hand having been removed from some powerbank at half-life or they fell off the back of a truck. Normal price should be about R1900.00
After a quick Google search here is some good info on these batteries..........
The Energizer (105AH – 12V) Maintenance Free Batteries.
These batteries are designed for backup/marine use only - not for daily SOLAR OFF-GRID charging/discarging
Deltec batteries never need water. Antimony-free plates cut electrolyte loss from gassing. Special liquid-gas separator keeps electrolyte inside.
No filler caps - so no electrolyte contamination, overwatering or damage in use.
Unique wrought lead-calcium grid design means less internal corrosion and efficient current conductivity for more power and longer life. It also cuts gassing, resists overcharge, heat and thermal runaway.
Generous electrolyte reserve, factory checked for purity and specific gravity, is sealed in to last the service life of the battery.

Paul is correct. Way too cheap to be new. Unless you have special contacts. Who stole them.
