VIPOW 12V 1.3Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 12V/1.3Ah Gel Battery Gel batteries have become 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 leaks, 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, exhibiting greater resistance to fluctuating and extreme weather conditions. Automatic Discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored for months without charging. Their capacity decreases to: 91% after 3 months, 82% after 6 months, 64% after 9 months. Selecting 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 (+/-0.2 V). 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 be found in vehicles with many electrical devices (e.g., campers), powering electronics rather than starting the engine. Choose the Right Charger for Your Gel Battery For optimal performance and to prevent damage, the charger must have appropriately matched current and voltage. These values vary during charging; an automatic charger will adjust current and voltage and shut off when the battery is fully charged. NOTE! The charger is not included.
