Victron GEL battery 60 - 265Ah
These GEL accumulators offer the best durability during discharge and a longer overall lifespan. The batteries meet European CE and American UL specifications in flame-retardant ABS enclosures and come with Victron Energy's worldwide 2-year warranty.
Please note: for batteries over 66Ah, an additional €35 shipping charge applies!
Sealed (VRLA) Gel batteries
In these, the electrolyte is immobilized as a gel. Compared to AGM batteries, the Victron Gel battery generally has a longer lifespan, both in "float" and "cycling" use. A VRLA GEL battery has a lifespan of 12 years.
Battery discharge characteristics
The nominal capacity of Victron "Deep Cycle" batteries refers to a 20-hour discharge (a discharge current of 0.05C). The nominal capacity of Victron Tubular Plate Long Life batteries refers to a 10-hour discharge. The effective capacity decreases as the discharge current increases (see Table 1).
