VIPOW 12V 3.3Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 12V/3.3Ah 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 leaks, allowing for any position storage, and providing greater shock resistance. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Properly used, they can last up to several years. Importantly, gel batteries are also more resistant to varying 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 recommended capacity for the device you plan to power. The output voltage is also important and must be very close to the recommended value (+/- 0.2V). 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 such cases, they are used not to start the car, but to power electronic equipment. Choosing a Charger for a Gel Battery 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 worthwhile to choose an automatic charger that not only adjusts the appropriate charging current and voltage but also switches off when the battery is fully charged.
