Rebel 12V 17Ah Gel Battery

Rebel Power 12V/17Ah Gel Battery Gel batteries are an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free, requiring no electrolyte replenishment. Their sealed casing and gel electrolyte prevent leakage, allowing for any-position storage and increased shock resistance. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Properly used, they can last for over a decade, offering superior resistance to varying and extreme weather conditions. Automatic Discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored for months without charging. Capacity decreases to: * 91% after 3 months * 82% after 6 months * 64% after 9 months Choosing a Gel Battery Proper dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, consider its capacity – it should not exceed 110% or be less than 90% of the recommended capacity for your device. The output voltage must also be very close to the recommended value (+/-0.2V). Gel Battery Applications Gel batteries are used in motorcycles, golf carts, lawnmowers, emergency power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, electric toys, and in vehicles with many electrical devices (e.g., campers) to power electronics, not for starting. Gel Battery Charger For optimal performance and to avoid damage, the charger must have appropriately matched current and voltage. These values vary during different charging stages, so an automatic charger is recommended. It adjusts the current and voltage and switches off once the battery is fully charged.
