Sealed lead acid battery 6V 3.3Ah VIPOW BAT0205

Sealed lead acid battery 6V 3.3Ah VIPOW
Gel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike them, gel models are maintenance-free batteries. This means that they do not require electrolyte replenishment. Their advantage is the tight case and the electrolyte in gel form. This prevents leakage, so the battery can be held in any position and is more resistant to shocks.

Gel battery durability
One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their durability. Of all the types available on the market, this type is the longest-lasting, as it can last up to twelve years with proper use. 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 the need for charging. Their capacity decreases to:

91% after 3 months
82% after 6 months
64% after 9 months

Choosing a gel battery
Suitable dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, you need to 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. The output voltage is also important and must be very close to the recommended value (+/- 0.2 V).

Gel battery applications
Gel batteries are used, among other things, in motorcycles, golf carts or lawn mowers. They are also used in emergency power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems and electric toys. In addition, these batteries are found in cars with a large number of electrical devices, such as campers. They are then used not to start the car, but to power electronic devices.

Gel battery charger
In order for the charger to work properly 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.
