Victron Energy 12V/230Ah AGM Super Cycle (M8) cyclic / solar battery
Reliable power supply for solar panels and cyclic use
This AGM technology, 12-volt, 230 Ah capacity battery is specifically designed for cyclic and solar systems. An ideal choice for solar systems, caravans, RVs, boats, camping, off-grid systems, alarms, security equipment, pumps, and other devices requiring reliable, durable power supply.
Advantages of AGM “Super Cycle” technology
The so-called “Super Cycle” design provides outstanding cycle life and better deep discharge tolerance compared to traditional sealed lead-acid batteries. Thanks to AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, the electrolyte is bound in a glass fiber mat, allowing for sealed, maintenance-free, and safe operation.
- Increased cycle life under deep discharge
- Construction suitable for faster charging
- Extremely low self-discharge
- Completely sealed, spill-proof design
- No need for distilled water refilling
Main technical specifications
The 12 V, 230 Ah capacity provides ample reserve for longer operating times, especially in solar systems and in places where grid power is not available or is limited. The M8 connectors provide stable, low-resistance, high-current connections.
- Nominal voltage: 12 V
- Nominal capacity: 230 Ah (C20 environment)
- Technology: AGM (sealed, maintenance-free)
- Usage: cyclic, solar, backup, and off-grid systems
- Connector: M8 threaded pole
Application areas
This cyclic, solar-optimized battery fits excellently into various energy storage systems where reliability, lifespan, and safety are primary considerations.
- Solar systems (off-grid, hybrid, backup power)
- Caravan, RV, camper onboard battery
- Electrical systems of sailing and motor boats
- Uninterruptible power supply, backup power source
- Off-grid supply for remote locations, weekend homes
- Security, alarm, and remote monitoring systems
Why is it a good choice as a solar battery?
In solar energy systems, the battery undergoes daily charge and discharge cycles. The AGM solution with “Super Cycle” construction is made with an internal plate structure and material usage that better withstands frequent and deeper discharges. This is particularly important in solar systems where the amount of available sunlight varies.
- Excellent deep discharge tolerance, providing more usable capacity.
- High cycle count, longer lifespan in solar applications.
- Fast and efficient charging combined with solar charge controller.
User-friendly, safe operation
Due to the sealed AGM construction, the battery requires no maintenance, no acid level checks, or water refilling. Gas generation is minimal, and under normal operation, it does not require a ventilated battery space. The spill-proof design and robust case provide increased safety in moving vehicles, boats, and mobile systems.
- Maintenance-free, hassle-free operation
- Spill-proof, can be used even in tilted positions
- Vibration and shock-resistant construction
- Safe use near living spaces with proper ventilation
Proper charging and operation
For optimal lifespan, it is advisable to use a charger or solar charge controller specifically adjustable for sealed AGM type batteries. This ensures the correct charging voltage, temperature compensation, and maintenance charging.
- Use a quality, AGM-compatible charger or solar charge controller.
- Avoid prolonged deep discharges (near 0% state of charge).
- Regularly check the condition of cables and terminals.
- Ensure proper ventilation at the installation site.
Ideal choice for the long term
If you are looking for a long-lasting, reliable solar battery that can handle daily cyclic loads and provide stable power to your consumers, this 12 V / 230 Ah capacity AGM-based solution is an excellent investment. It provides a durable, safe, and maintenance-free power source for solar panels, mobile systems, and off-grid applications alike.
