The AGM range has very low internal resistance making them
particularly suitable for high current discharge applications such as
for inverters, thrusters and winches as well as engine starting.
VRLA technology
VRLA
stands for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, which means that the batteries
are sealed. Gas will escape through the safety valves only in case of
overcharging or cell failure. VRLA batteries are maintenance free for
life.
Sealed (VRLA) AGM Batteries
AGM stands
for Absorbent Glass Mat. In these batteries the electrolyte is absorbed
into a glass-fibre mat between the plates by capillary action. As
explained in our book ‘Energy Unlimited', AGM batteries are more
suitable for short-time delivery of high currents than gel batteries.
Low Self-Discharge
Because
of the use of lead calcium grids and high purity materials, Victron
VRLA batteries can be stored during long periods of time without
recharge. The rate of self-discharge is less than 2% per month at 20°C.
The self-discharge doubles for every increase in temperature by 10°C.
Victron VRLA batteries can therefore be stored for up to a year without recharging, if kept under cool conditions.
Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery
Victron
VRLA batteries have exceptional discharge recovery, even after deep or
prolonged discharge. Nevertheless repeatedly deep and prolonged
discharge has a very negative effect on the service life of all lead
acid batteries, Victron batteries are no exception.

UL94 V-0 RATED FLAME RETARDANT CASING/HOUSING
This product's casing/housing is classed UL94 V-0.
In simple terms, this means that the casing/housing is considered flame
retardant in accordance with the plastics flammability standard.
