Battery - 12V/165Ah Gel Deep Cycle Batt.

Powerful and maintenance-free GEL battery for boats, solar systems, and off-grid installations.

Victron 12V 165Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery is a robust deep-cycle battery designed for systems where the battery is frequently discharged and recharged. GEL technology provides high operational reliability, low self-discharge, and a long lifespan, making the battery ideal for energy storage in marine and solar installations.

The electrolyte is bound in gel, which means the battery is completely sealed and maintenance-free. This provides better resistance to vibrations and a lower risk of acid spills compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.

⚡ Advantages

• 165Ah capacity at 12V

• Deep-cycle design for many charging cycles

• Maintenance-free GEL battery

• Low self-discharge during storage

• Suitable for solar and energy storage systems

• Robust construction for marine and mobile installations

GEL batteries are particularly well-suited for installations where the battery is regularly deeply discharged, e.g., in solar power systems or on boats.

⛵ Suitable for

• Sailboats and motorboats

• RVs and vans

• Off-grid solar systems

• Backup power and energy storage

• Marine energy systems

📊 Specifications

Dimensions and weight vary slightly depending on the model revision, but typically range around 485×172×240 mm and approximately 48 kg.

🔋 Advantages of GEL batteries

GEL batteries differ from traditional lead-acid batteries in that the electrolyte is bound in gel. This offers several practical advantages:

• No risk of acid spills

• Can be mounted in multiple positions

• Better resistance to vibrations

• Good performance during deep discharges
