Its gel electrolyte construction makes it suitable for installations where battery orientation or ventilation is restricted. Rated at C20 capacity, it is built for repeated deep discharge and recharge cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60Ah capacity rated at C20 discharge rate, providing a reliable baseline for system sizing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGel electrolyte construction eliminates free liquid acid, reducing the risk of spillage and corrosion in confined or tilted installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed, valve-regulated (VRLA) design requires no water topping and produces minimal gas under normal operating conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep cycle rated, meaning the battery is designed to withstand repeated discharge to low state-of-charge levels without premature capacity loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V nominal voltage, compatible with standard 12V charge controllers, inverters and battery monitors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18kg weight provides a compact energy density suitable for mobile, marine and off-grid enclosures.\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 free liquid acid. This immobilises the electrolyte, which means the battery can be mounted in any orientation except inverted, and is less susceptible to vibration damage than flooded lead-acid alternatives. In solar and off-grid applications, where batteries may sit in unventilated enclosures or vehicle-mounted battery boxes, this matters practically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe C20 rating means the 60Ah capacity is measured over a 20-hour discharge period. In practice, drawing higher currents over shorter periods will reduce the available capacity, which is standard behaviour for lead-acid chemistry. When sizing a system, use the C20 figure as the starting point and apply a derating factor for high-current loads. Victron's gel range is designed to work directly with Victron charge controllers and inverter-chargers, which include gel-specific charge profiles to protect cycle life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a VRLA battery, it recombines the gases produced during charging internally under normal conditions. This makes it suitable for use in enclosed spaces, though adequate ventilation is still recommended as a precaution, particularly if the battery may be subject to overcharging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: BAT412550104\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal Voltage: 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 60Ah (C20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemistry: Gel VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 18kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076037149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolar off-grid systems with 12V battery banks requiring deep cycle capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat house battery installations where spillage resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and campervan leisure battery systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUPS and standby power applications in commercial or industrial settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote monitoring stations, telecoms cabinets and other unattended installations.\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 60Ah Gel Deep Cycle Battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis battery should be installed by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator. Ensure the charge source (solar charge controller, inverter-charger or mains charger) is set to the correct gel charge profile. Using an AGM or flooded charge profile risks overcharging, which can permanently damage gel cells. Batteries should be installed in a ventilated location away from heat sources and direct flame. Terminal connections must be torqued correctly and protected against short circuit. For solar PV system installations, use an MCS-accredited installer where required by your DNO or insurer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59854835351886,"sku":"BAT412550104","price":127.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_BAT412550104_-_12V-60Ah_Gel_Deep_Cycle_Batt..webp?v=1781088235","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-12v-60ah-gel-deep-cycle-battery","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
