Victron 12V 265Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery High-Performance Gel Deep Cycle Battery for Reliable Off-Grid Energy

Advanced VRLA Gel Technology for Superior Cycle Life

The Victron 12V 265Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery is a sealed, maintenance-free deep cycle battery engineered with flat plate GEL technology. Unlike conventional AGM batteries, the immobilised gel electrolyte provides exceptional deep discharge recovery and extended service life, making it ideal for demanding cyclic applications. With a float design life of 12 years at 20C and up to 1800 cycles at 30% depth of discharge, this battery delivers long-term reliability for off-grid solar systems, marine installations, and mobile power setups.

Why Choose Victron Gel Batteries?

Victron’s VRLA gel batteries are built using high-purity materials and lead calcium grids, ensuring very low self-discharge of less than 2% per month at 20C. This means your battery remains ready for use even after extended storage periods. The robust construction, including durable ABS fireproof containers and integrated rope handles, provides safe handling and vibration resistance, critical for mobile and marine environments. Copper M8 terminals ensure secure, low-resistance connections for efficient power transfer.
