Rebel gel battery 6V 1.3Ah

Rebel Power 6 V / 1.3 Ah gel battery Gel batteries have become an alternative to classic lead-acid batteries. Unlike the latter, gel models are maintenance-free batteries. This means they do not require electrolyte refilling. Their advantages include a sealed housing and electrolyte in gel form. This guarantees no leakage, allowing the battery to be stored in any position and making it more shock-resistant. Gel battery durability One of the greatest advantages of gel batteries is their lifespan. Among those available on the market, this type has the longest life, as properly used it can last even several years. Importantly, gel batteries also have greater resistance to variable and extreme weather conditions. Self-discharge (25°C) Gel batteries can be stored without charging for many months. Their capacity drops to: – 91% after 3 months – 82% after 6 months – 64% after 9 months Gel battery selection Proper dimensions are not everything. When choosing a battery, pay attention to its capacity – it should not be more than 110% nor 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). Applications of gel batteries Gel batteries are used in motorcycles, golf carts, and lawn mowers. They are also used in backup power supplies, photovoltaic installations, alarm systems, and electric toys. Moreover, these batteries can be found in vehicles with many electrical devices, e.g., campers. They serve not for vehicle starting but for powering electronic equipment.
