Victron Energy AGM 38Ah 12-Volt Super Cycle Battery (M5)

Super Cycle Batteries Victron Energy are based on the latest findings from the electrochemistry of batteries and thus offers significantly more cycles and a high resistance to deep discharge. The use of a Super Cycle battery is recommended if an occasional discharge of 100% (deep discharge) or a more frequent discharge up to 60-80% is expected. Victron's AGM Super Cycle batteries contain the latest innovations from current developments in the electrochemistry of batteries. The paste on the positive plates does not soften so quickly, even if the battery has been discharged by 100% several times. In addition, the battery chemistry has been supplemented with some additives that significantly reduce sulphation in the event of a deep discharge. Bottom line, the Ultra Deep Cycle batteries create significantly more cycles through these technical innovations and thus reach a higher age. Exceptional performance with repeated deep discharge Tests have shown that the Super Cycle battery is still powerful even after at least three hundred 100% deep discharges. During the test, the batteries were discharged daily to 10.8 V with I = 0.2 C20. They were then left in the discharged state for two hours and then recharged with I = 0.2 C20. Most batteries will be damaged if left 100 times for two hours in discharge, but not the Victron 12V 230Ah Super Cycle battery.
