The Vipow 12 V / 40 Ah gel battery has become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free. This means that they do not require electrolyte topping up. What speaks in their favor is the sealed casing 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 resistant to shocks. Durability of the gel battery One of the greatest advantages of gel batteries is their longevity. Among those available on the market, this type is characterized by the longest lifespan, as, if used properly, it can last even for a dozen years. Importantly, gel batteries also exhibit greater resistance to changing 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. Application of gel batteries Gel batteries are utilized in motorcycles, golf carts, or lawnmowers. They are also used in uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic systems, alarm systems, or electric toys. Moreover, these batteries can be found in cars with a large number of electrical devices, e.g., campers. They serve then not to start the car but to power electronic equipment. Charger for gel battery To ensure that the charger performs its function well and does not damage the battery, it must have appropriately adjusted current and voltage. At different stages of charging, these values will differ from each other, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger that will not only adjust the appropriate charging current and voltage but will also turn off when the battery is fully charged.
