165Ah 12V GEL Battery - Victron Energy

Discover the Victron Energy 165Ah 12V GEL battery, ideal for residential solar installations and other applications requiring reliable and sustainable energy. This model, using VRLA technology, is designed for optimal performance and long service life.

VRLA Technology: A Maintenance-Free Solution

VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are sealed batteries where the electrolyte is immobilized in gel form. Thanks to this design, they are completely maintenance-free and can be used in any position, greatly simplifying their use in various contexts, including solar systems and confined spaces.

Enhanced Durability and Cycling Capacity

GEL batteries offer a longer lifespan and better cycling capacity compared to AGM batteries. This means they can withstand a greater number of charge and discharge cycles, which is crucial for solar applications where usage cycles are frequent.

Low Self-Discharge for Extended Storage

With a self-discharge rate of less than 2% per month at 20°C, these batteries can be stored for long periods without needing a recharge. This makes them particularly suitable for regions with significant seasonal variations in sunshine.

Exceptional Recovery After Deep Discharge

Victron GEL batteries stand out for their ability to recover after deep discharge, thus ensuring continuity of service. However, it is important to note that prolonged and frequent discharges can affect the overall lifespan of the battery.

Guaranteed Performance and Safety

Manufactured with high-purity materials and lead-calcium grids, these batteries guarantee stable and safe performance. They comply with CE and UL standards, ensuring safe use.

Easy and Efficient Installation

Equipped with M8 perforated flat copper terminals, the batteries are designed for easy and stable connection. This simplifies installation, even for less experienced users.

Recommended Use

For optimal performance and extended lifespan, it is advisable to use a battery monitor such as the BMV. This device helps to efficiently manage energy and protect the battery from deep discharges.

⚠️This type of battery requires careful attention to usage to benefit from its advertised lifespan.
Many factors can affect their lifespan and render your batteries unusable prematurely (incomplete charge cycles, deep discharges, excessive discharges, high temperatures, etc.).
