VIPOW 12V 33Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 12V/33Ah 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 leakage and making them resistant to shocks and suitable for any position. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Properly used, they can last up to several years. They are also more resistant to variable 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 Consider not only the dimensions but also the capacity – it should be no more than 110% or less than 90% of the recommended capacity for your device. The output voltage should 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 numerous electrical devices (e.g., campers) to power electronics, not for starting. Choosing a Charger for a Gel Battery For optimal performance and to avoid damaging the battery, the charger must have appropriately selected current and voltage. These values vary during different charging stages; therefore, an automatic charger that adjusts current and voltage and switches off when fully charged is recommended. NOTE! The charger is not included.
