Victron 12V/265Ah GEL Deep Cycle Battery - BAT412126101

Victron 12V/265Ah GEL Deep Cycle Battery - BAT412126101

The GEL range, to which the Victron 12V/265Ah GEL Deep Cycle Battery - BAT412126101 belongs, offers the best deep cycle durability and the longest service life. Due to the use of high purity materials and lead-calcium grids, GEL batteries have a very low self-discharge, allowing long periods of storage without charging. This range has flat copper terminals with M8 bolts, which ensure the best possible contact and eliminate the need for battery terminals. The batteries are CE and UL compliant and their containers are made of fire resistant ABS, and come with the warranty of Victron Energy with worldwide coverage

VRLA technology

VRLA stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, which means that the battery is hermetically sealed. There will be gas leakage at the safety valves only in case of overcharge or component failure.
VRLA batteries do not require any type of maintenance.

Waterproof Gel batteries (VRLA)

In this type of battery, the electrolyte is immobilized in gel form. Gel batteries generally have a longer life and better cycling capacity than AGM batteries.

Victron Battery 12V/265Ah GEL Deep Cycle - BAT412126101: Low self-discharge

Thanks to the use of lead-calcium grids and high purity materials, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for a long time without recharging. The self-discharge rate is less than 2% per month at 20ºC. The self-discharge rate doubles for every 10°C increase in temperature. In a cool environment, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for a long time without recharging.
for one year without having to recharge.

Extraordinary recovery after deep discharge

Victron VRLA batteries have an outstanding recovery capacity even after deep or prolonged discharge. However, it must be emphasized that frequent deep or prolonged discharges have a very negative influence on the lifetime of lead/acid batteries, and Victron batteries are no exception.

Discharge characteristics of the Victron 12V/265Ah GEL Deep Cycle Battery - BAT412126101

The rated capacities of Victron batteries are given for a discharge of 20 hours, i.e. for a discharge current of 0.05C.
The actual capacity decreases in faster discharges with higher intensities.
Capacity reduction will be even faster with constant power devices such as inverters.
Due to their design, gel batteries have a lower actual capacity at high current. In contrast, gel batteries have better float and cycling life.
