Gel Battery Rebel Power 12 V / 24 AhGel 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 electrolyte in the form of gel. 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 batteryOne of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type has the longest life, as it can operate for even over a decade if used properly. Importantly, gel batteries also exhibit greater resistance to variable and extreme weather conditions. Automatic discharge (25°C)Gel batteries can be stored for many months even without charging. Their capacity decreases to: - 91% after 3 months - 82% after 6 months - 64% after 9 months Choosing a gel batteryThe appropriate size is not everything. When choosing a battery, you need to pay attention to its capacity – it should not be greater than 110% and not less than 90% of the capacity recommended for the device you plan to power. The output voltage is also important, and its value must be very close to the recommended one (+/-0.2 V). Applications of gel batteriesGel batteries are used in motorcycles, golf carts, or lawnmowers. They are also used in UPS, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, or electric toys. Furthermore, these batteries can be found in cars that have a large number of electrical devices, e.g., 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 an appropriately adjusted current and voltage. These values will vary in different charging stages, so it is advisable to choose an automatic charger that will not only adjust the appropriate current and voltage but will also turn off when the battery is fully charged.
