After re-reading the Duratrax Ice specs, it may charge a gel cell. Maybe someone else will weigh in.

I don't recall any mention of it in my manual. If it does that would be nice. I'm about to get set up with gel cells.

Never thought of that. Good idea. They are just lawn mower/motorcycle type batteries aren't they?
