Rebel 6V 4.5Ah gel battery

Rebel Power 6 V / 4.5 Ah Gel BatteryGel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free, meaning they do not require electrolyte refilling. Their sealed housing and gel-form electrolyte guarantee no leakage, allowing the battery to be stored in any position and making it more shock-resistant. Gel Battery DurabilityOne of the biggest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among available types, this kind has the longest life, potentially lasting over a decade with proper use. Additionally, gel batteries are more resistant to variable and extreme weather conditions. Self-Discharge (25°C)Gel batteries can be stored without charging for many months. Their capacity decreases to: 91% after 3 months, 82% after 6 months, 64% after 9 months. Gel Battery SelectionProper size is not everything. When choosing a battery, pay attention to its capacity — it should not exceed 110% nor be less than 90% of the recommended capacity for the device you plan to power. Output voltage is also important and must closely match the recommended value (+/-0.2 V). Applications of Gel BatteriesGel batteries are used in motorcycles, golf carts, and lawnmowers. They are also employed in uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, and electric toys. Moreover, these batteries are found in vehicles with many electrical devices, e.g., campers, where they power electronic equipment rather than starting the engine. Gel Battery ChargerTo ensure proper charging without damaging the battery, the charger must have appropriately selected current and voltage. These values vary during charging stages, so it is advisable to choose an automatic charger that adjusts current and voltage accordingly and switches off when the battery is fully charged. WARNING! Charger is not included in the set!
