XTR8-180 Features:

• Sealed Construction
  The unique construction and sealing techniques of a VMAX battery guarantee leak proof operation in any position with no adverse effect to capacity or service life. VMAX battteries are classified as non-spill able, non-hazardous, dry batteries making them NOT restricted for Surface, Maritime and Air Transport.
• Electrolyte Suspension system
  A VMAX charge tank utilizes an electrolyte suspension system consisting AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt) of a high porosity that totally absorb and contain the electrolyte. No silica gels or any other contaminants are used.
• Gas Generation Control
  A VMAX tank incorporates a built-in design that controls gas generation and induces recombination of more than 99% of gases generated during float usage.
• Maintenance Free Operation
  There is no need to check specific gravity of the electrolyte or add water to a VMAX battery during float service life. In fact, there is no provision for this type of maintenance.
• Low Pressure Valve Regulated System
  All VMAX batteries are equipped with safety release valves, designed to operate between 0.98-196.1kpa and automatically reseal. Hence, there is never an excessive accumulation of gas within the battery.
• Heavy Duty Grids
  Heavy duty lead tin alloy grids manufactured with virgin lead provide an extra margin of performance and service life in either float or cyclic applications, even after repeated over discharges.
• Industry-Leading Cycle Life
  This battery is rated for 1,000 charge cycles at 50% depth of discharge (DOD) and an impressive 2,600 cycles at 25% DOD, making it a reliable solution for long-term energy needs.
• Long Float Service Life
  Its superior plates are designed for an extended lifespan of 10 to 12 years in float service applications.
• Low Self Discharge
  The self-discharge rate of a VMAX AGM battery at room temperature is approximately 1-2% of rated capacity per month (compared to 2-3% for most other AGM batteries and 15-20% for Lead Acid batteries).
• Versatile Operating Temperatures
  A VMAX battery may be operated over a broad range of ambient temperatures.
• Ultra Low Resistance
  VMAX Batteries' Ultra Low Resistance make it up to 99% efficient (compared to 85-95% as in Lead Acid Batteries and 97% in most other GEL and AGM batteries).
• Higher Power Density
  A special assembly technology is used to enhance power density to a considerable level.
• Reliable Construction
  The extra strong construction ABS container reduces case bulging and plate warping, ensuring long life and high performance.
• XTR8-180 Replaces: Diehard GC8, Duracell SLIGC8V, Insterstate GC8-HCL-UTL, Trojan T-875, US Battery 8VGC and others.

Recommended Charging Options:

• AC Chargers: Any Quality Brand AGM Smart & Microprocessor controlled charger with the recommended specs below can be used
• Solar Panel: 175W-450W (120W may be used if Depth of Discharge does not exceed 50%)

Warning: Do not use a charger with smaller amperage than the recommended charging current shown below. Low amperage maintainers should ONLY be used to maintain a fully charged battery but NEVER as a charger.
