Vetus Marine batteries are designed for use in the boat. The batteries are therefore designed for the varying use as well as seasonal fluctuations where the battery will most often be unused for periods.

Vetus offers 3 types of batteries

The SMF (Sealed Maintenance Free) series is most often used as a starter battery

• Sealed and maintenance free
• Lids which internally re-generate any gas that occurs during use or charging
• Construction based on use of lead-calcium plates which reduce water usage
• Is equipped with a ‘magic eye’ which indicates the state of charge
• Manufactured in the EU

AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) series which is used as a consumable battery and starter battery

• Sealed VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) and maintenance free(does not contain any free electrolyte)
• Electrolyte is absorbed by glass fibre mat separators between battery plates
• Leakage-free even when the battery is dropped and the casing
  is damaged
• Battery can even be shipped by airfreight
• Manufactured in the EU

DCB (Deep Cycle Battery) which is extremely suitable for electric propulsion and use where deep cyclic discharges occur

• This type of deep cycle battery is ideal for applications such as electric propulsion.
  The VEDC110TC is a “Deep Cycle / Semi-traction” battery featuring two different connections. One set of conventional tapered battery clamp connections and one set of threaded connection (5/16“) for cable lugs.
• Thicker plates inside the battery allow deeper discharging (up to 75%) compared to conventional batteries and can be used for cyclic applications. Because of this, the battery is very suitable for electric boating where the battery is discharged over a longer period of time. The VEDC110TC battery is based on a Sealed Maintenance Free battery, so the same
  battery chargers are applicable.
