Gel batteries have become an alternative to traditional lead-acid batteries. Unlike them, gel models are maintenance-free, which means that they do not require replenishment of the electrolyte. Their advantages include a sealed case and gel electrolyte. This ensures trouble-free operation, allows the battery to be stored in any position and offers greater shock resistance.

Gel battery durability
One of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their long service life. Of all the batteries available on the market, this type boasts the longest service life, as they can last up to several years with proper use. Importantly, gel batteries are also more resistant to changing and extreme weather conditions.

Self-discharge (25 °C)
Gel batteries can be stored for many months without 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, 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, which must be very close to the recommended value (+/- 0.2 V).

Gel battery applications
Gel batteries are used in applications such as motorcycles, golf carts and lawn mowers. They are also used in uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic systems, alarms and electric toys. These batteries can also be found in vehicles with a large number of electrical devices, such as caravans. In these cases, they are not used to start the vehicle, but to power electronic devices.

Choose a charger for your gel battery
In order for the charger to work properly and not damage the battery, it must have the correct current and voltage. These values ​​will vary at different stages of charging, so it is worth choosing an automatic charger that not only adjusts the charging current and voltage, but also turns off when the battery is fully charged.
