Victron 12V\/220Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery (M8) - BAT412201085: New 12V\/220Ah Absorbent Glass Mat batteries equipped with Victron Energy's VRLA technology. Hermetically sealed, low self-discharge batteries that allow storage for long periods of time without compromising performance.<\/p>\n
The AGM range has a very low internal resistance, which makes it particularly suitable for high-current discharge applications such as inverters or thrusters, as well as for starting motors in vehicles such as caravans and golf carts or household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.<\/p>\n
In these batteries, the electrolyte is absorbed into a glass fibre mat between the plates by capillary action. AGM batteries are more suitable for short-term delivery of very high currents (engine starting) than gel batteries.<\/p>\n
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\u00b0C. The self-discharge rate doubles for every 10\u00b0C temperature increase. Therefore, Victron AGM batteries can be stored for up to one year without recharging, if kept in the right humidity and temperature conditions.<\/p>\n
Victron batteries have exceptional discharge recovery, even after deep or prolonged discharge. Victron Energy AGM batteries have excellent recovery capability. Typically, deep or prolonged discharges shorten the life of lead\/acid batteries. Victron Energy AGM batteries do not suffer from this phenomenon.<\/p>\n
The nominal capacity of Victron AGM and Gel Deep Cycle batteries is 20 hours of discharge at 25\u00ba, i.e. a discharge current of 0.05 C. It should be noted that the effective capacity of these batteries decreases with increasing discharge current. The reduction in charge capacity will be even faster in case of a constant energy load, such as an inverter.<\/p>\n
