VIPOW 12V 7.5Ah Gel Battery

Rebel Power 12V / 7.5Ah Gel Battery Gel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free. This means they do not require electrolyte replenishment. Their advantages include a sealed casing and gel-form electrolyte. This guarantees that it will not leak, allowing the battery to be stored in any position and making it more resistant to shocks. Durability of a Gel Battery One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type is characterized by the longest lifespan; properly used, it can last up to several dozen years. Importantly, gel batteries are also more resistant to variable 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, you need to pay attention to its capacity – it should not be greater than 110%, nor less than 90% of the capacity recommended for the device you plan to power. The output voltage is also important; its value must also 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. Moreover, these batteries can be found in cars with a large number of electrical devices, such as campers. They are then 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 properly selected current and voltage. These values will differ in different stages of charging, 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.
