A well-maintained 12V 200Ah GEL battery should provide consistent voltage output. However, common issues include:
- Sulfation Build-Up: Caused by prolonged partial charges, reducing conductivity.
- Aging and Cycle Wear: Repeated charge/discharge cycles cause gradual capacity decline.
- Excessive Discharge: Deep discharges beyond 50% regularly can shorten battery life.
- Loose or Corroded Connections: Poor connections increase resistance, leading to voltage drops.
Regular maintenance, proper charging habits, and monitoring charge cycles can minimize these issues.
