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 advantages include a sealed casing and gel-form electrolyte, preventing leakage and making them more resistant to shocks and suitable for any position. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type boasts the longest lifespan, lasting up to several years with proper use. Importantly, gel batteries also exhibit greater resistance to fluctuating and extreme weather conditions. Automatic Discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored for 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 is also important; its value must be very close to the recommended value (+/-0.2 V). Applications of Gel Batteries 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. Furthermore, these batteries can be found in cars with a large number of electrical devices, such as campers. In these cases, they are used not to start the car, but to power electronic equipment. 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 will also switch off when the battery is fully charged.
