Victron AGM Battery 12V/14Ah

The Victron 12V/14Ah AGM battery is a closed battery with a capacity of 14Ah based on VRLA technology. An AGM battery is also called a multi-purpose or dual-purpose battery, and is suitable for both slow discharge and the short-term supply of high currents, for inverters, bow thrusters and winches. The battery connections are made of copper with holes for M6 bolts to ensure good contact. Press cable eyes can be mounted directly on the battery, and battery terminals are not necessary. The batteries meet both European CE and US UL specifications in fire-resistant ABS housings, and come with Victron Energy's global 2-year warranty. AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat. In AGM batteries, the electrolyte is absorbed in a fiberglass mat that is clamped between the plates. In an AGM battery, the charge carriers, hydrogen ions (H2) and sulfate ions (SO4), move more easily between the plates than in a gel battery. VRLA technology VRLA stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid. This means that the batteries are closed. Gas will only escape through a safety valve as a result of incorrect charging and/or broken cells. VRLA batteries are maintenance-free during their entire lifespan. Low self-discharge Due to the use of lead-calcium grids and very pure materials, Victron VRLA batteries can effortlessly handle long periods without charging. The self-discharge is less than 2% per month at a temperature of 20°C. This discharge rate doubles with every temperature increase of 10°C. Victron VRLA batteries can therefore be stored for up to a year without having to be recharged; provided this is done at a relatively low temperature. Exceptional discharge recovery Victron VRLA batteries recover very well, even after deep and prolonged discharges. Nevertheless, repeated deep and prolonged discharge negatively affects the service life of all lead-acid batteries. Victron batteries are no exception to this. Battery discharge characteristics The nominal capacity of Victron 'Deep Cycle' batteries refers to a discharge of 20 hours (a discharge current of 0.05C). The nominal capacity of Victron Tubular Plate Long Life batteries refers to a discharge of 10 hours. The effective capacity decreases as the discharge current increases. Charging current The charging current of a VRLA battery may not exceed 0.2C (20A for a 100 Ah battery). The temperature of a battery will increase by more than 10°C if the charging current exceeds 0.2C and then temperature compensation is necessary.
