VIPOW 6V 4.5Ah HQ Gel Battery

Vipow 6V/4.5Ah 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 case and gel-form electrolyte, preventing leakage, allowing storage in any position, and offering better shock resistance. Gel Battery Durability One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type boasts the longest lifespan, lasting up to several decades with proper use. Importantly, gel batteries 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 Appropriate dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, pay attention to its capacity – it should not be more than 110%, nor less than 90% of the capacity recommended for the device you plan to power. The output voltage is also important; its value must also be very close to the recommended one (+/- 0.2 V). Applications of Gel Batteries 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. Furthermore, these batteries can be found in vehicles with a large number of electrical devices, such as campers. In such cases, they are not used for starting the car, but for powering electronic equipment. Choose the Right Charger for Your Gel Battery For a charger to function correctly and not damage the battery, it must have appropriately selected current and voltage. These values will differ in different charging stages, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger that not only adjusts the appropriate charging current and voltage but also switches off when the battery is fully charged. NOTE! The charger is not included in the set.
