Overview Mastervolt maintenance-free batteries • 12 V AGM batteries: sealed batteries with glass fibre technique. For cyclic application. These batteries are extremely suitable for use in solar and back up power applications. • 12 V gel batteries: sealed batteries with electrolyte in a gel substance. For intensive cyclic application. Mastervolt batteries can be shipped by air freight, ‘non-hazardous’ declaration available on request.
Yo u r b a t t e r y a s a p o w e r s o u r c e Different types of battery - in terms of the thickness and number Acid content increases in the lower part of the battery, locally of plates per cell - correspond to different applications. The intensifying plate corrosion, and decreases in the upper part, maximum current that can be delivered is determined by the reducing total plate surface. The number of times that a battery can be significantly reducing the life span.
