VIPOW Gel Battery 6V 4.5Ah

Vipow Gel Battery 6 V / 4.5 Ah Gel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free batteries. This means that they do not require electrolyte replenishment. What speaks in their favor is the sealed housing and the electrolyte in the form of a gel. This guarantees that it will not leak, so the battery can be kept in any position and is more resistant to shocks.
Gel Battery Life One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type has the longest lifespan, because when used properly, it can last even a dozen years. Importantly, gel batteries are also characterized by greater resistance to variable and extreme weather conditions.
Self-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
Selecting a Gel Battery Appropriate dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, you should pay attention to its capacity - it should not be more than 110% or less than 90% of the capacity recommended for the device you plan to power. Also important is the output voltage, the value of which must also be very close to the recommended one (+/- 0.2 V).
Applications of Gel Batteries Gel batteries are used in, among others, motorcycles, golf carts and lawnmowers. They are also used in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), photovoltaic installations, alarm systems and electric toys. What's more, these batteries can be found in cars with a large amount of electrical equipment, e.g. campers. They are then used not to start the car, but to power electronic equipment.
Gel Battery Charger In order for the charger to perform its function well and not damage the battery, it must have properly selected current and voltage. In different stages of charging, these values will differ from each other, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger, which will not only adjust the appropriate charging current and voltage, but also turn off when the battery is fully charged. NOTE! The charger is not part of the set!
