Description
The Victron 12V 160Ah Lead Carbon battery is a sealed lead-acid battery whose negative plate active material is replaced by a lead carbon composite. This reduces sulphation and improves charge acceptance, giving better partial state-of-charge performance, more cycles and higher efficiency than a conventional VRLA battery.
The chemistry suits marine and off-grid installations that are not always returned to a full charge, such as boats relying on solar or wind at anchor. A lower charge voltage improves efficiency and reduces corrosion of the positive plate. This larger block is rated at 160Ah at the 20-hour rate (150Ah at C10, 138Ah at C5), making it suitable for substantial house banks.
Victron testing confirms at least 500 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, around 1000 cycles at 60% and 1400 at 40%, so shallower cycling considerably extends life. Charge with a Victron charger set to the recommended lead carbon voltages.
PRODUCT DETAILS
