Brand New 85Ah Sealed Vented Lead Acid Battery

The Technology – Sterling’s high integrity Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries operate as a starved electrolyte system.  The electrolyte is limited to the amount that either is absorbed in the battery plates or wets the fibres in the separator.  The resulting system allows gases produced during overcharge to diffuse from one plate to the other and to be recombined back into the electrolyte.

This recombination creates a closed system, thus reducing the release of gases into the atmosphere under normal discharge conditions.

Since the electrolyte is recycled, there is no need to add water to the batteries.  This reduced maintenance leads to a longer life battery in a clean and compact container that can be installed when flooded batteries are impractical.

Features & Benefits

• Tank formed construction allows for individual plates to be inspected prior to battery assembly, eliminating manufacturing defects.  Plates are fully formed guaranteeing 100% capacity on delivery.

• Sterling’s unique construction and sealing techniques ensures no electrolyte leakage from case or terminals, allowing batteries to be positioned on their side.

• Excellent recovery from deep discharge.

• Low self discharge – approx 3% per month.

• Not restricted for air transport – complies with IATA ICAO special provision A67.

• Impact resistant ABS case and cover.

• Industry standard footprints for easy field replacement.

• Maintenance free.

• 98% recyclable.

Charging: (25°C / 77°F)
Standby use: Float charging voltage 13.50V to 13.80V.

Top up charge: Product in storage (ambient temperature) requires a top up charge every 6 months.  Apply constant voltage at 2.40 volts per cell, initial charging current should be set at less than 0.1 CA for 15 to 20 hours.

Comes with bolts.

Victron pure sinewave output, high peak power and high efficiency in a compact unit. Models range from 250VA to 1200VA with UK socket - other socket outlets available on request

These inverters allow you to power domestic equipment - requiring 230VAC - using 'leisure' or 'automotive' batteries rated at 12V

Bulit in DC fuse in all models but not replaceable in all models - see the manual for further details on which models carry the replaceable fuse.

VE.Direct communication port

The VE.Direct port can be connected to:

• A computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed)

• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook’s and other devices (VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed)

Fully configurable:

• Low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels

• Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels

• Dynamic cut-off: load dependent cut-off level

• Output voltage 210 - 245V

• Frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz

• ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sense level Monitoring:

• In- and output voltage, % load and alarms

Proven reliability

The full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology has proven its reliability over many years. The inverters are short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature. High start-up power Needed to start loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps or electric tools. ECO mode When in ECO mode, the inverter will switch to standby when the load decreases below a preset value (min load: 15W). Once in standby the inverter will switch on for a short period (adjustable, default: every 2,5 seconds). If the load exceeds a preset level, the inverter will remain on.

Remote on/off

A remote on/off switch can be connected to a two pole connector, or between battery plus and the left hand contact of the two pole connector

Fitted with Staubli 4-6mm MC4s - Staubli MC4 Link

Wire size range: 6mm2

Ideally 6mm solar cable max - for bigger units with bigger cable click here

Unit best used for housing 1 x AC RCBos, string fuse holders and fuses up to 32a as opposed to DC Din Mount breakers.

Best practice would be to use this unit with no bigger than 6mm square cable and appropriately sized breakers if you are using it with glands for a water tight fit.  If you are using it in an environment that is already dry and dust free the use of glands may not be necessary.

This is an empty unit, you must add the breakers you need to your cart as well, see related items tab above to see the breakers that fit.  

You will also need suitable cable entry glands - please see related products tab.
