6 Volt batteries


Added to MyBoatsGear on 3/6/2010

6 Volt batteriesOur Review

Mastervolt, is one of those companies who is always innovating. The new range of 6-volt AGM batteries let you build a customized bank to suit both voltage and space requirements. You can build a battery bank by connecting the 6-volt batteries in series, to supply 12, 24 or 48-volt systems.

Mastervolt AGM 6 Volt batteries are maintenance-free VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries. The maintenance free batteries can be mounted either vertically, or horizontally.

A typical installation could be to provide 24-volts at 400Ah. All that is needed are four, very compact 6-volt 400Ah cells simply connected in series.

Costs: AGM 6/260 ah £262.00, AGM 6/340 ah £336.00, AGM 6/400 ah £380.00


Mastervolt's Description
Batteries are a crucial part of your energy system. Some even call it the most important component because they store the power you have been acquiring. From our AGM batteries with glass fibre technology and our extremely robust gel batteries for repeated discharging, Mastervolt offers a complete range of batteries suited to any type of use. You are guaranteed optimum reliability and the best price/performance ratio on the market and, naturally, a reservoir for an independent power supply.

Mastervolt AGM 6 Volt batteries are the ideal solution for moderate cyclic applications such electric propulsion and service batteries for marine, mobile and stationary applications. With these batteries it is easy to configure a 12V, 24V or 48 V battery bank with a nominal capacity ranging from 200Ah up to 400Ah.

Using 12V battery blocks for such capacities will often lead to miswiring as these batteries must be connected in a complicated combined parallel / serial configuration. When not installed properly, voltage imbalances within such battery bank are expected, resulting in premature failure premature failure of the batteries. By using 6Volt batteries instead, all batteries can be simply connected in a serial configuration.

Due to its dimensions Mastervolt 6V AGM require less floor space compared to battery banks that exist of 2V cells or 12V blocks. That makes the Mastervolt 6V AGM batteries ideal for storage under the deck chairs.

Mastervolt AGM 6 Volt batteries are maintenance-free VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries.

This means that special battery cases or external ventilation is usually unnecessary as natural ventilation will suffice. A sealed system means that each and every battery is maintenance-free. Gas formed during charging is transformed to water by means of re-combination, so that you never need to top up the battery with water. The batteries perform in very warm or cold conditions, as well as after idle periods such as during winter storage.

Overall, the AGM batteries are perfect for moderate cyclic use on any application. This durable energy source gives you the power to be independent!
