Rated at C20 capacity, it suits installations where reliable deep discharge performance and long service life are required without the need for regular electrolyte maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e220Ah capacity rated at C20, providing a consistent and predictable discharge curve for system sizing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGel electrolyte construction eliminates free liquid, making the battery spill-proof and suitable for installation in confined or non-ventilated enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep cycle design supports repeated charge and discharge cycles, making it appropriate for daily solar cycling applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed, valve-regulated (VRLA) construction requires no topping up with distilled water and no equalisation charging under normal conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V nominal voltage allows flexible series and parallel configuration for 24V or 48V battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Victron MPPT charge controllers and MultiPlus\/Quattro inverter-chargers when set to the appropriate gel charge profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGel batteries use a silica-based gelled electrolyte rather than liquid acid. This immobilises the electrolyte, which reduces stratification, lowers self-discharge rates compared to flooded lead-acid, and allows the battery to be mounted in orientations other than upright. For solar and off-grid installations where the battery may sit unused for extended periods, the lower self-discharge characteristic is a practical advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep cycle rating means the battery is built to tolerate regular discharge to a significant depth of discharge (DoD), unlike standby or UPS batteries which are optimised for float operation and shallow cycling. When used with a correctly configured charge controller or inverter-charger set to a gel charge profile, the battery will deliver consistent performance across its service life. Overcharging is the primary cause of premature gel battery failure, so accurate charge voltage settings are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 62.5 kg, this is a heavy unit. Installation planning should account for structural support, cable routing and safe handling. Terminal connections should be torqued to the manufacturer's specification and protected against accidental short circuit during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAT412201104\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal Voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 220Ah (C20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery Type: Gel Deep Cycle, VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 62.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076037101\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar energy storage in residential, agricultural and remote site installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine house battery banks where spill-proof construction is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and leisure vehicle auxiliary power systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power for telecoms, security and industrial equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24V or 48V battery banks when wired in series with additional 12V units.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron Energy 12V 220Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. Ensure the charge source (MPPT controller, inverter-charger or mains charger) is configured with a gel-specific charge profile before connecting. Do not use charge profiles intended for AGM or flooded batteries, as incorrect voltage settings will shorten battery life. The battery weight of 62.5 kg requires appropriate manual handling precautions and adequate structural support for the installation location. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided in the battery enclosure even though the gel construction significantly reduces outgassing compared to flooded types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855241150798,"sku":"BAT412201104","price":388.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAT412201104_-_12V-220Ah_Gel_Deep_Cycle_Batt..webp?v=1781091717","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-12v-220ah-gel-deep-cycle-battery","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
