Victron 12V/66Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery

Victron 12V/66Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery

Victron 12V/66Ah Gel Deep Cycle closed type photovoltaic deep discharge battery from Victron Energy. Deep Cycle batteries are designed to withstand repeated discharge/charge cycles gradually using almost all of the battery's capacity.

It's about GEL battery, a feature that gives superiority to a self-discharge rate (discharges little) and is more resistant to higher ambient temperatures. It has a longer life and a huge resistance to plate corrosion.

Sealed (VRLA) GEL
The GEL range of models offers the best deep cycle durability and overall longest life. Here the electrolyte is immobilized as a gel. Gel batteries generally have a longer life and better cycle capacity than AGM batteries.

VRLA technology
VRLA stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, meaning the batteries are sealed. The gas will escape through the safety valves only in case of overload or cell failure. VRLA batteries are maintenance free for life.

Low Self Discharge
Due to the use of lead calcium grids and high purity materials, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for long periods of time without recharging. The self-discharge rate is less than 2% per month at 20°C. Self-discharge doubles for every 10°C increase in temperature. Victron VRLA batteries can therefore be stored for up to a year without recharging if kept in cool conditions.
The AGM series batteries have very low internal resistance, making them particularly suitable for high current discharge applications such as inverters, thrusters and winches.

Excellent deep discharge recovery
Victron VRLA batteries have excellent discharge recovery, even after deep or prolonged discharge. However, repeated deep and prolonged discharge has a very negative effect on the life of all lead acid batteries, Victron batteries are no exception.

Technology: flat GEL plate
Terminals: copper
Nominal capacity: 20 hours. Discharge at 25°C
Float design life: 12 years at 20°C
Cycle life: 500 cycles at 80% discharge. 750 cycles at 50% discharge. 1800 cycles at 30% discharge.

The use of high-purity materials and lead-calcium grids ensure that AGM and GEL batteries have a particularly low self-discharge, so that they cannot be left standing for long periods of time without charging.

The batteries are CE and UL compliant in fireproof ABS containers and come with a 2-year Victron worldwide warranty.
