In comparison to flooded batteries, AGMs offer increased levels of reliability and versatility – with no free acid, they can be mounted in any orientation and are better able to handle vibration. A sturdy, anodized aluminium frame allows modules to be easily roof-mounted with a variety of standard mounting systems. If these were LifePo then I'd probs do a full to empty test and then calculate from that but reading that I shouldn't do full to empty even for testing in Lead, I know that going down to 0 regularly will knacker them bit is that true even for testing? This 12V 130Ah (C20) heavy duty leisure battery, with its sealed calcium construction, excellent longevity and robust, built in carry handle is ideal for use as an electric fencing battery. All very strange behaviour and not sure if it needs some sort of firmware update or just that I've not set a parameter correctly, having said that cannot find any setting for absorption so wondering if that's somehow been missed in the firmware etc.

So whether you're retrofitting solar, or want a full kit for your entire system, we've got you covered. Energy Bull batteries are suitable for motorhomes, caravans, boats, solar panels, signal systems and electric wheelchairs. It arrived the day after it was mean to, I think was down to the company contacting Yodel and getting them to get there act together. Thanks again, I have tried 5 set to Flooded before and again and it does the same but is worse as it locks most the settings, tried it both with its default settings and then again with settings that could be altered etc.and so of course isn't even putting any charge in the battery, if I increase the float then it will put a charge in but very slowly and the behaviour of the inverter/charger seems to then be flip flopping between charge at 0-2A but then gets the odd spike of 5-7-A but then immediately starts to use the battery on discharge again only briefly and then repeats. Early on, it’s easy to overlook how many solar panels you will need, but you could end up without enough space on your roof to effectively recharge your batteries. These superior AGM batteries can deliver over 1300 cycle due to its lead carbon design which makes this battery popular with high performance applications. With a 5-year warranty on most products, and fair and fast repair policies, Victron Energy is a brand that can be relied upon for products and systems that stand the test of time.

The only things that limit the discharge time are heavy consumers, like camping kettles, electric heaters etc. First use was great, charged it up agai noticed to green indicator had totally disappeared even when fully charged. at around 21% charged but of course then carries on very slowly charging at this trickle charge rate of around 1A, Trouble is at around 1A that will take 130 hours (or 100hrs to get from the 30ish AHs its reached to fully charge or at least get as high as it can.Please ensure your charging method can accommodate AGM batteries as charging at non AGM charge settings can adversely affect the life of the battery. I didn't see anything for absorption settings in first post so that points to a parameter not being set correctly.

So far just using the generic advice on sites that say 12v lead acid leisure batteries are normally completely flat at 11v and 50% at 12. Our 130 Ah leisure battery delivers exceptional performance up to 25% higher than standard leisure batteries, with high-quality active materials and vibration resistance to provide a smooth power source without compromise. IF NECESSARY WE ARE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH COLLECTIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE IF REQUIRED VIA COURIERS WHOM ACCEPT BATTERIES. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.Considering this battery has a CCA rating, my thoughts are the plates are thinner and spaced close together and I'll wager the Peukerts's number is 1. Please note that the capacity reduction will be even faster in case of a constant power load, such as an inverter. I'm going mad but at least it seems I now know the issue after getting the shunt monitor as according to the shunt the battery only gets to about 30ah's before the AIO ramps down to the <2amp charge mark, any ideas?

The rated capacity of Victron AGM and Gel Deep Cycle batteries refers to 20 hour discharge, in other words: a discharge current of 0,05 C.Whether you want to power 230V appliances off-grid, recharge via shore hookup or simply recharge whilst driving, there are a number of different solutions available. Keep sources of ignition- such as flames, sparks, electrical equipment, hot objects and mobile phones- well away from batteries that are being charged, have recently been charged, or are being moved. After installing the shunt battery monitor, I discharged by battery down to 44v as that seems the lowest I can go and then set my shunt to 0% battery and set the battery capacity Ah's to the 130Ah. Fitted as original equipment by many leading UK and European motorhome builders, Energy Bull batteries are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for 2 years. The Adventurer SFL series is a great quality flooded maintenance-free lead-acid collection from Leoch, one of the largest multi-range battery manufacturers in the world.
