Abstract
In this paper we examine the properties of gauged -balls in two models with different scalar field potentials. The obtained results demonstrate that in the general case gauged -balls possess properties, which differ considerably from those of -balls in the nongauged case with the same forms of the scalar field potential. In particular, it is shown that in some cases the charge of gauged -ball can be bounded from above, whereas it is not so for the corresponding nongauged -ball. Our conclusions are supported both by analytical considerations and numerical calculations.
