Charging gel batteries
Gel batteries are a very common DC power source for many portable electrical machines and equipment, as well as toys and vehicles. They play a particularly important role in places where a 230 V power socket is not available. What's more, unlike conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte, gel batteries can operate in any position, but they require a slightly more sophisticated charging process, which takes place in several stages and is carried out using special electronic chargers.
No risk of overcharging
Our gel battery charger ensures that the batteries are charged in a stable manner and that parameters such as voltage and charging current are maintained. By connecting this charger to the battery, you do not have to keep track of charging time, as is the case with conventional transformer chargers. The internal electronics switch to a sustained state of voltage once the appropriate voltage is reached at the battery terminals, without the risk of overcharging the battery.
