Victron 12V 165Ah AGM Dual Purpose Deep Cycle Battery

Victron 12V 165Ah AGM Dual Purpose Deep Cycle Battery: High Performance Power Solution

The Victron 12V 165Ah AGM Dual Purpose Deep Cycle Battery is engineered for exceptional performance in demanding applications, offering a robust solution for high current discharge needs such as inverters, thrusters, and winches. This battery is part of Victron’s renowned VRLA AGM range, known for its reliability and longevity.

Key Features:

1. VRLA Technology:

   • Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA): Sealed design ensures no maintenance is required, with gases escaping only through safety valves in case of overcharging or cell failure. This eliminates the need for regular maintenance and topping up.

2. AGM Technology:

   • Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM): The electrolyte is absorbed into a glass-fibre mat between the plates, enhancing the battery’s ability to handle high currents. AGM batteries are preferred for applications requiring short bursts of high current, outperforming gel batteries in this regard.

3. Low Self-Discharge:

   • Lead Calcium Grids: These grids and high purity materials reduce self-discharge rates to less than 2% per month at 20°C. The self-discharge rate doubles with every 10°C increase in temperature, allowing for long-term storage without significant loss of charge.

4. Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery:

   • Victron AGM batteries are designed to recover efficiently from deep discharges, maintaining their performance and longevity even after extended use. However, it is important to avoid repeated deep discharges to prolong the battery's service life.

5. Long Service Life:

   • Design Life: The battery is designed to last 7-10 years, offering reliable performance for many years under normal operating conditions.

Technical Specifications:

• Voltage: 12V
• Capacity: 165Ah
• Cycle Life: Designed for 7-10 years of use
• Self-Discharge Rate: <2% per month at 20°C
• Discharge Characteristics: Rated capacity based on a 20-hour discharge at 0.05C. Effective capacity decreases with higher discharge currents, especially under constant power loads such as inverters.

Performance and Usage:

• High Current Applications: Ideal for high current discharge applications like inverters, thrusters, and winches.
• Deep Cycle Performance: Designed to handle deep discharges while maintaining excellent recovery characteristics.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including marine, RV, off-grid, and industrial systems.

Benefits:

• Maintenance-Free Operation: The sealed VRLA design ensures no maintenance is required, reducing long-term upkeep and enhancing reliability.
• Reliable Power Supply: The low self-discharge rate and high recovery capability ensure a consistent power supply, even after prolonged periods of inactivity or deep discharge.
• Durability and Longevity: With a robust construction and advanced technology, this battery provides long-term reliability, making it a cost-effective choice for demanding applications.

Additional Considerations:

• Temperature Management: The self-discharge rate increases with temperature, so it is recommended to store the battery in a cool environment to maximize its lifespan.
• Charging Practices: Avoid deep and prolonged discharges to maintain the battery’s health. Regular monitoring and maintenance of the charging system can help extend the battery’s service life.
