Victron Energy AGM 12V 60Ah Deep Cycle Battery

Product Details

Victron Energy 12v 60ah AGM leisure battery BAT412550084

The AGM range has very low internalresistance making them particularly suitable for high currentdischarge applications such as for inverters, thrusters and winches.

VRLA AGM: design life 7-10 years

Features

VRLA technology

VRLA stands for Valve Regulated LeadAcid, which means that the batteries are sealed. Gas will escapethrough the safety valves only in case of overcharging or cellfailure.

VRLA batteries are maintenance free forlife.

Sealed (VRLA) AGM Batteries

AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. Inthese batteries the electrolyte is absorbed into a glass-fibre matbetween the plates by capillary action. As explained in our book‘Energy Unlimited’, AGM batteries are more suitable forshort-time delivery of high currents than gel batteries.

Low Self-Discharge

Because of the use of lead calciumgrids and high purity materials, Victron VRLA batteries can be storedduring long periods of time without recharge. The rate ofself-discharge is less than 2% per month at 20°C. The self-dischargedoubles for every increase in temperature by 10°C.

Victron VRLA batteries can therefore bestored for up to a year without recharging, if kept under coolconditions.

Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery

Victron VRLA batteries have exceptionaldischarge recovery, even after deep or prolonged discharge.

Nevertheless repeatedly deep andprolonged discharge has a very negative effect on the service life ofall lead acid batteries, Victron batteries are no exception.

Battery Discharging Characteristics

The rated capacity of Victron AGM andGel Deep Cycle batteries refers to 20 hour discharge, in other words:a discharge current of 0,05 C. The rated capacity of Victron TubularPlate Long Life batteries refers to 10 hours discharge. The effectivecapacity decreases with increasing discharge current (see table 1).Please note that the capacity reduction will be even faster in caseof a constant power load, such as an inverter.
