Heavier-duty cells provide several benefits to GEL batteries used in mobility scooters:
- Increased Capacity: Heavier-duty cells allow the battery to store more energy, resulting in an extended range for the scooter between charges.
- Enhanced Power Output: They contribute to a higher power output, giving the scooter better acceleration and overall performance.
- Improved Discharge Characteristics: Heavier-duty cells deliver a more consistent and sustained level of power throughout the discharge cycle.
- Longer Cycle Life: The cells can endure a greater number of charge and discharge cycles before their performance declines.
- Better Deep Discharge Resilience: Heavier-duty cells handle deep discharges more effectively, recovering well without significant degradation. This is important because mobility scooters may sometimes experience deep discharges.
- Durability and Resistance to Stress: The cells are more durable and resistant to stress, making them appropriate for applications that involve frequent vibrations, shocks, or other challenging conditions.
- Optimized for High-Load Applications: These cells are engineered to meet the demands of high-load applications, ensuring reliable performance. Mobility scooters may require bursts of power when navigating inclines or rough terrains, making this feature beneficial.
Heavier-duty cells offer similar advantages to those provided by heavier-duty plates in GEL batteries.
