VIPOW 6V 1.3Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 6V/1.3Ah Gel Battery Gel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free, meaning they do not require electrolyte replenishment. Their sealed casing and gel electrolyte prevent leakage, allowing for storage in any position and greater shock resistance. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Properly used, they can last for several years. They are also more resistant to varying and extreme weather conditions. Automatic Discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored for many months without charging. Their capacity drops to: * 91% after 3 months * 82% after 6 months * 64% after 9 months Choosing a Gel Battery Appropriate dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, pay attention to its capacity – it should not be more than 110% or less than 90% of the capacity recommended for the device you plan to power. 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, and lawnmowers. They are also used in emergency power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, and electric toys. They can also be found in vehicles with a large number of electrical devices, such as campers, where they power electronic equipment, not the engine. Gel Battery Charger For a charger to function properly and not damage the battery, it must have appropriately selected current and voltage. These values will differ during different charging stages, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger that will not only adjust the appropriate charging current and voltage but also switch off when the battery is fully charged.
