Cheap kak gate motor batteries VS expensive ones.

[Rickster]

In the past we have bought these cheap gate batteries (R200-250) and they are useless after 1.5-2 years.

Ive got my eye one an RSpro one for R612, so what makes this one better than the cheapie? Both are AGM and same AH.



Also what would the difference between these two be? Datasheets are nearly identical.

Just get a sealed battery, maintenance free, all that really matters.

Is the gate motor charger able to charge that safely?

Its a D5evo.

Buying a lead acid is a waste of time. For a similar amount get yourself a lithium battery.

Ideally you want to charge a lithium battery with a lithium charger, but the one in your gate motor will still do the job just fine.

Those lithium batteries got their own BMS build in to protect and balance the cells. They are drop in replacements.

A bit more than the LA batteries but its totally worth it. Got a BlueNova, Freedom Won and a BSLBATT 2 are in the old ET500 motors and 1 in a D5 Evo
