VRLA Technology
VRLA is short for Valve Regulated Lead Acid, which means the battery is sealed. Gas will escape through safety valves only in case of overcharging or cell failure
VRLA batteries are maintenance-free.
Sealed (VRLA) Gel Batteries
In this type of battery, the electrolyte is immobilized in the form of a gel. Gel batteries generally have a longer lifespan and better cycling capability than AGM batteries.
Low Self-Discharge
Thanks to the use of lead-calcium grids and high-purity materials, Victron VRLA batteries can be stored for a long time without needing to be recharged. The self-discharge rate is less than 2% per month at 20ºC. Self-discharge doubles for every 10ºC increase in temperature. In cool environments, Victron VRLA batteries can therefore be stored for up to a year without recharging.
Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery
Victron VRLA batteries have exceptional recovery capacity even after deep or prolonged discharge. However, it should be noted that frequent deep or prolonged discharges have a detrimental effect on the lifespan of any lead/acid battery, and Victron batteries are no exception.
/! Warning !\
This type of battery requires careful use to benefit from its advertised lifespan.
Many parameters can affect their lifespan and render your batteries unusable prematurely (incomplete charge cycles, deep discharges, excessive discharges, high temperatures, etc.).
