Description

Victron Energy 12V 220Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery

The GEL model range offers the best deep cycle durability and overall longer life. The use of high-purity materials and lead calcium grids ensures that both AGM and GEL products have particularly low self-discharge so that they will not go flat during long periods without charge. Both ranges are supplied with M8 drilled, flat copper terminals ensuring the best possible connection contact and eliminating the need for battery terminals. The batteries are compliant with both CE and UL specifications in ABS fireproof containers and come with Victron’s 2-year worldwide warranty.

VRLA GEL Batteries have a design life of 12 years.

Rated capacity: 20 hr. discharge at 25°C Float design life: 12 years at 20°C Cycle design life: 500 cycles at 80% discharge 750 cycles at 50% discharge 1800 cycles at 30% discharge

Product Features

Sealed (VRLA) Gel Batteries

Here the electrolyte is immobilized as gel. Gel batteries in general have a longer service life and better cycle capacity than AGM batteries.

Low Self-Discharge

Because of the use of lead calcium grids and high-purity materials, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for long periods without recharge. The rate of self-discharge is less than 2% per month at 20°C. The self-discharge doubles for every increase in temperature by 10°C. Victron VRLA batteries can therefore be stored for up to a year without recharging if kept under cool conditions.

Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery

Victron VRLA batteries have exceptional discharge recovery, even after deep or prolonged discharge. Nevertheless, the repeatedly deep and prolonged discharge has a very negative effect on the service life of all lead acid batteries, and Victron batteries are no exception.

Battery Discharging Characteristics

The rated capacity of Victron AGM and Gel Deep Cycle batteries refers to 20-hour discharge, in other words: a discharge current of 0,05 C
