All about the product
Vipow gel battery 12 V / 55 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 need to replenish electrolytes. In their favor, a tight body and an electrolyte in the form of a gel speak. This ensures that it won't leak, so the battery can be held in any position and is more impact resistant.
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, as it can last for several years if used properly. Importantly, gel batteries are also more resistant to changing and extreme weather conditions.
Automatic discharge (25°C)
Gel batteries can be stored for many months without needing to be recharged. Their capacity is reduced to:
- 91% after 3 months
- 82% after 6 months
- 64% after 9 months
Choosing a gel battery
The right dimensions aren't everything. When choosing a battery, should you pay attention to its capacity? should not be more than 110% or less than 90% of the recommended capacity of the device you plan to power. Also important is the output voltage, which must also be very close to the recommended value (+/- 0.2V).
Use of gel batteries
Gel batteries are used e.g. motorcycles, golf carts and lawn mowers. They are also used in uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic devices, alarm systems and electric toys. In addition, these batteries can be found in vehicles with many electrical devices, such as RVs. 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 the correct current and voltage. At different stages of charging, these values will differ, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger that will not only adjust the appropriate charging current and voltage, but also turn off when the battery is fully charged.
