Victron 12V 265Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery
VRLA batteries are sealed and maintenance-free, with gas escaping only in cases of overcharging or cell failure. AGM batteries use glass-fiber mats to absorb electrolyte, making them suitable for short-term high current delivery. Gel batteries, on the other hand, immobilize the electrolyte as gel, providing longer service life and better cycle capacity. VRLA batteries have low self-discharge rates, allowing for long-term storage without recharging. They also exhibit exceptional deep discharge recovery. However, repeated deep and prolonged discharge negatively impacts their service life. The rated capacity of VRLA batteries varies depending on discharge time and current. It's important to note that constant power loads, like inverters, can further reduce the effective capacity.
