VIPOW 12V 7.0Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 12V/7Ah 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 improved 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. They 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 decreases to: • 91% after 3 months • 82% after 6 months • 64% after 9 months Choosing a Gel Battery Size isn't everything. Consider the battery's capacity – it shouldn't exceed 110% or fall below 90% of the recommended capacity for your device. The output voltage should also be very close to the recommended value (+/-0.2 V). Applications of Gel Batteries Gel batteries are used in motorcycles, golf carts, lawnmowers, emergency power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, electric toys, and in vehicles with numerous electrical devices (e.g., campers) to power electronics, not for starting. Choosing a Charger for a Gel Battery For proper function and to avoid damage, the charger must have appropriately matched current and voltage. These values vary during different charging stages, so choose an automatic charger that adjusts current and voltage and shuts off when fully charged. NOTE! The charger is not included.
