Understanding VMAXTANKS Deep Cycle Batteries and Its Characteristics

 VMAXTANKS specializes in manufacturing deep cycle batteries with starting capabilities.  

Their specialty in assigning batteries with unique deep cycle capabilities is most valued in tough applications including solar and alternative energy, electric vehicles, power backup, military, and industrial equipment and machinery.

In short VMAXTANKS batteries are modeled explicitly to satisfy the needs of tough applications and they dominated a lead position in the field of deep cycle batteries.

Having said that, you may ask what is meant by a deep cycle battery and what its characteristics are?   

This article gives some enlightenment about the questions and endeavors to examine its attributes.

Here we go.

A deep cycle battery is a lead battery intended to give sustained power over a long period and run dependably until it is 80% released or more, at which point it should be recharged.

Take note that deep cycle batteries were not made to power most vehicles. Nonetheless, they are regularly utilized for sporting vehicles, boats, and golf carts. It is because these batteries deliver a consistent progression of control throughout a significant period, these batteries are likewise valuable in solar panels and other plug-in electronics.

Now, let us examine its attributes. Remember that the main battery attributes are the battery lifetime, the depth of discharge, and the maintenance requirements of the battery.

1. Battery Lifetime

Over some time, battery capacity reduces because of sulfation of the battery and shedding of active material. The reduction of battery limit relies most firmly upon the interrelationship between the accompanying boundaries:

1.  the depth of discharge of the battery over its life

2.  the charging/releasing system which the battery has encountered

3. its exposure to long periods of low release

4. the normal temperature of the battery over its lifetime

A deep-cycle lead-acid battery must be able to keep a cycle life of more than 1,000 even at more than 50% depth of discharge. Notwithstanding the depth of discharge, the charging system likewise has a significant influence in deciding battery lifetime. 

Overcharging or undercharging the battery brings about either the shedding of active material or the sulfation of the battery, along these lines extraordinarily decreasing battery duration.

The last effect on battery charging connects with the temperature of the battery. Although the limit of a lead-acid battery is diminished at low-temperature activity, high-temperature activity builds the aging pace of the battery.

Steady current release bends for a 550 Ah lead-acid battery at various release rates, with a restricting voltage of 1.85V per cell. Longer release times give higher battery limits.

2. Depth of Discharge and Battery Capacity

The depth of discharge related to the battery limit is a key boundary in the model of a battery bank for a PV framework, as the energy which can be separated from the battery is found by duplicating the battery limit by the depth of discharge.

Batteries are evaluated either as deep-cycle or shallow-cycle batteries. A deep-cycle battery will have a profundity of release more noteworthy than 50% and may go as high as 80%. To accomplish a similar usable limit, a shallow-cycle battery bank should have a bigger limit than a deep-cycle battery bank.

Notwithstanding the profundity of release and evaluated battery limit, the momentary or accessible battery limit is unequivocally impacted by the release pace of the battery and the working temperature of the battery. 

Battery capacity falls by about 1% per degree below about 20°C. However, high temperatures are not ideal for batteries either as these accelerate aging, self-discharge, and electrolyte usage. The graph below shows the impact of battery temperature and discharge rate on the capacity of the battery.

The battery limit falls by around 1% per degree underneath around 20°C. Nonetheless, high temperatures are not great for batteries either as these speed up aging, self-release, and electrolyte use. 

3. Maintenance Requirements 

The production and break of hydrogen and oxygen gas from a battery cause water loss and water should be consistently supplanted in lead corrosive batteries. Different parts of a battery system don't need maintenance as consistently, so water loss can be a huge issue.

If the system is in a remote location, checking water loss can add to costs. Maintenance-free batteries limit the need for regular attention by preventing or reducing the amount of gas that escapes the battery. However, due to the corrosive nature of the electrolyte, all batteries to some extent introduce an additional maintenance component into a PV system.

Assuming that the system is in a far-off area, checking water loss can add to costs. Maintenance-free batteries, like VMAXTANKS batteries, limit the requirement for regular attention by preventing or decreasing how much gas gets away from the battery. Be that as it may, because of the acidic nature of the electrolyte, all batteries somewhat bring an additional maintenance part into a PV system.

In conclusion, VMAXTANKS batteries are known for their unequaled unwavering quality and execution when utilized in boats, savaging engines, power sports, RVs, and much more. Their capacities to convey high currents and outrageous deep cycle capabilities make them fit for gas motors, electric engines, and auxiliary batteries to power electronic equipment on board.

“Have had this battery for about six months works fantastic in my fifth wheel & my 100-watt solar panels had another gel cell. It didn't compare to this Vmax great buy, very happy” - Ron Berry.
