Deep cycle applications demand a battery technology capable of sustained, repeated discharge without capacity degradation. The Victron Energy Blue Power GEL Deep Cycle Battery 12V 265Ah (BAT412126101) addresses this requirement through a sealed gel electrolyte design engineered for a design life of 12 years under appropriate operating conditions.
As a VRLA GEL technology, the electrolyte is immobilised in a silica-based gel matrix, eliminating electrolyte stratification and reducing water loss to negligible levels. This construction renders the battery maintenance-free, operable in any orientation, and resistant to the vibration and movement common in marine, off-grid, and industrial installations. The gel chemistry is particularly well suited to slow, deep discharge cycles followed by full recharge – the operating profile typical of solar energy storage, inverter back-up, and marine house battery banks.
The BAT412126101 measures 550 mm – 300 mm – 300 mm (L × W × H) and weighs 73.1 kg, with a rated capacity of 265Ah at the C20 discharge rate. Terminals are threaded M8 inserts. Polarity orientation should be confirmed from the product label prior to installation. No cross-reference part numbers are applicable to this SKU." This product is offered as a single unit; no variants are listed at this time. Comparable GEL deep cycle alternatives available on site include S2-224GEL and S2-280GEL for differing capacity requirements. The BAT412126101 is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. "Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
VRLA AGM: design life 7-10 years VRLA GEL: design life 12 years
The AGM range has very low internal resistance making them particularly suitable for high current discharge applications such as for inverters, thrusters and winches. The GEL model range offers best deep cycle durability and overall longer life. The use of high purity materials and lead calcium grids ensure that for both AGM and GEL products have particularly low self-discharge so that they will not go flat during long periods without charge. Both ranges are supplied with M8 drilled, flat copper terminals ensuring best possible connection contact and eliminating the need for battery terminals. The batteries are compliant with both CE and UL specifications in ABS fireproof containers and come with Victron's 2 year world-wide warranty.
