The Rebel Power 12 V / 7.5 Ah Gel BatteryGel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free batteries. This means they do not require electrolyte replenishment. What speaks in their favor is the sealed housing and the electrolyte in gel form. This guarantees that it will not leak, allowing the battery to be stored in any position and making it more shock-resistant. Durability of the Gel BatteryOne of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type is characterized by the longest lifespan, as it can operate for even several years if used properly. Importantly, gel batteries also exhibit greater resistance to fluctuating and extreme weather conditions. Automatic discharge (25°C)Gel batteries can be stored for many months without the need for charging. Their capacity decreases to:- 91% after 3 months- 82% after 6 months- 64% after 9 months Selection of Gel BatteryThe right dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, one should also pay attention to its capacity – it should not exceed 110% and should not be less than 90% of the recommended capacity for the device you plan to power. The output voltage is also important, and its value should be close to the recommended one (+/-0.2 V). Applications of Gel BatteriesGel batteries are used, among others, in motorcycles, golf carts, or lawn mowers. They are also used in uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic systems, alarm systems, or electric toys. Furthermore, these batteries may be found in vehicles with a large number of electrical devices, e.g., in campers. They then serve not to start the car but to power electronic equipment. Charger for Gel BatteryFor the charger to perform its function well and not damage the battery, it must have appropriately set current and voltage. At different stages of charging, these values will differ, which is why 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.
