Description
12V marine lead-calcium battery for starting engines and providing a small amount of auxiliary power to all onboard accessories.
12V combination battery for starting and auxiliary power:
- Sealed
- Maintenance-free
- With charge status indicator
- Very low self-discharge
- Compact: 40% more compact and 25% lighter than traditional batteries.
- Ready to use
- Known for its reliability
- Designed with an electrolyte reservoir known for its longevity
- Handle integrated into the lid.
Specially designed to meet the demands of the marine environment, the VETUS 12 V mixed-use battery is:
- A combination battery capable of handling both constant low-power loads and short bursts of high power, such as when using a bow thruster.
- Serving as both a service battery and a starting battery, it powers up the engine while also providing enough energy to run all onboard accessories.
Thanks to the vent valve and lead-calcium plates, water consumption is minimal, so there is no need to refill it—hence the absence of a fill cap.
For the same size and weight, the VETUS 12 V combination battery makes your battery bank significantly more powerful. However, it is recommended to use a trickle charger during winter storage to prevent deep discharges and thereby preserve the lifespan of your equipment.
Best practices: Use a circuit breaker during periods of inactivity and be sure to keep your battery properly charged using a shore power charger or a suitable portable charger. Storing the battery in a dry place, protected from freezing temperatures and extreme heat, will help extend its service life.
