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, offering superior resistance to varying and extreme weather conditions. Automatic Discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored for months without charging. Capacity decreases to: 91% after 3 months, 82% after 6 months, 64% after 9 months. Choosing a Gel Battery Proper dimensions are not everything. Consider capacity – it shouldn't exceed 110% or fall below 90% of the recommended capacity for your device. Output voltage must also be very close to the recommended value (+/- 0.2V). 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 many electrical devices (e.g., campers) to power electronics, not for starting. Gel Battery Charger For optimal performance and to prevent damage, a charger needs appropriate current and voltage settings. These vary during charging stages, so an automatic charger is recommended. It adjusts current and voltage and shuts off when the battery is fully charged.
