Victron Battery AGM 12-240 12V AGM Deep Cycle Batt. 240 Ah (M8)

Victron AGM Battery 240 Ah 12 V VRLA Deep Cycle Battery (M8)

VRLA Technology
VRLA stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, meaning the battery cells are valve-regulated, and gas generated by overcharging or cell failure can escape through a safety valve. They are absolutely maintenance-free.

Sealed (VRLA) AGM Batteries
AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. In this type of battery, the electrolyte is absorbed by capillary action in a mat of fine glass fibers. In our book "Always Power", we noted that AGM batteries are preferably suitable for high current demands.

Sealed (VRLA) Gel Batteries
Here, the electrolyte is bound in a gel of silicates. Gel batteries generally have a longer lifespan and are better suited for cyclic loads.

Low Self-Discharge
Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for long periods without intermediate charging due to the use of lead-calcium grids and high-purity materials. The self-discharge rate is below 2% per month at 20 °C. It doubles with every 10 °C increase in temperature. When stored cool, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for up to one year without intermediate charging.

Excellent Deep Discharge Recovery
Victron VRLA batteries have excellent recovery behavior even after prolonged deep discharge. However, it should be noted that frequent and prolonged deep discharges can lead to irreversible damage, even in Victron batteries.

Battery Discharge Behavior
The nominal capacity of Victron batteries refers to a discharge time of 20 hours, i.e., a discharge current of 0.05 C. The nominal capacity of Victron Tubular Plate Long Life batteries refers to a discharge time of 10 hours. A lower discharge current increases the effective capacity, and conversely, it decreases with a higher discharge current (See Table 1).
