VIPOW 4V 4.9Ah Gel Battery

Vipow 4V/4.9Ah 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 for over a dozen years. They also exhibit greater resistance 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 Proper dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, pay attention to its capacity – it should not be more than 110% or less than 90% of the recommended capacity for your device. The 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 the engine. Gel Battery Charger For a charger to function correctly and not damage the battery, it must have properly selected current and voltage. These values will differ during various charging stages; therefore, it's advisable to choose an automatic charger that adjusts the charging current and voltage and switches off when the battery is fully charged.
