A VETUS battery comes with a sufficient electrolyte to last the whole of its life. The casing is therefore entirely sealed with the exception of a small ventilation opening (pressure relief valve).

MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
A VETUS battery can be simply installed and connected. Topping-up with distilled water is not necessary.

UNIVERSAL APPLICATION
Suitable for both engine starting and service use. These batteries can withstand many charge/discharge cycles and still supply a high cold-cranking amperage for Bow Thrusters and other high draw DC appliances.

VERY LOW SELF-DISCHARGE
The self-discharge rate of A VETUS battery is never more than 3% per month, at an ambient temperature of 25° C. In comparison, a conventional flooded lead acid battery self-discharges at about 15% per month. Therefore, charging over the winter months is not necessary and the engine will still start next season. In addition a VETUS battery, even if only charged 50%, is able to withstand temperatures of –30° C, so removal from the boat during the winter is not necessary.

These batteries are classed as hazardous material and can only be transported by road on a secure pallet. Carriage is charged at £30 net (mainland UK) for 1-10 batteries.
