Gel baterija MVG 12 V 200 Ah

The Mastervolt Gel MVG 12/200 battery is a house power source designed for medium and large embedded systems (12V and 24V). Thanks to its gel electrolyte technology, it is fully sealed, maintenance-free, and ideal for intensive cyclic use aboard your boat.

This battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 200 Ah (C20). It is perfectly sized to meet the high energy demands of your onboard equipment.

Gel technology offers several major advantages:

No maintenance required.No gas formation during normal use, enabling safe installation.Excellent resistance to repeated deep discharges.Very low self-discharge, ideal for periods of inactivity or winter storage.

Yes, absolutely. Since this Gel battery produces no gas emissions during normal use, it can be safely installed in confined or non-ventilated spaces aboard your vessel.

The MVG 12/200 battery is a robust unit. It weighs 70 kg and its overall dimensions (including terminals and handles) are 518 x 274 x 238 mm (Length x Width x Height).

The battery must be installed upright (vertical position) whenever possible. If a horizontal installation is unavoidable due to your cabin layout, never mount it on its shortest side.

To ensure optimal operation and proper heat dissipation, you must maintain a minimum spacing of 1 centimeter between each battery in your house bank.

A charger with an IUoUo charging curve (3-stage charging) must be used. Using an unsuitable charger could irreversibly damage the battery.

This battery accepts a maximum charging current of 100 A, which corresponds to 50 % of its nominal capacity. This allows for rapid and efficient recharging via your alternator or shore power charger.

To maximize the lifespan of your Mastervolt battery, it is recommended to limit regular discharges to 60 % of its nominal capacity. Avoid deep discharges and fully recharge it after each use.

No, the MVG 12/200 battery is 100% maintenance-free. You do not need to check fluid levels. Simply ensure the terminals stay clean and tight, and recharge it regularly.

Although it is primarily designed for service and deep cycling, it offers very good starting capabilities with a DIN CCA of 630 A and an SAE CCA of 1100 A.

The recommended operating temperature is 20°C. It tolerates a range from -20°C to 45°C. Note that every 10°C increase above 20°C halves its lifespan, and very cold temperatures reduce available capacity.

Yes, you can create a 12V or 24V battery bank. However, all batteries connected in series or parallel must be of the same brand, type, capacity, and have the same state of charge. Never mix new batteries with old ones.

To clean your battery, use only a soft, damp cloth. Never use additives, acidic products, solvents, or abrasive powders that could damage the plastic casing.

Absolutely not. This is a sealed valve-regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) with gas recombination. The pressure valves are factory-sealed. Attempting to open the battery will irreparably damage it and void its safety certification.

At 25°C, charging parameters must be set to:

Float voltage (Float): 13.80 VTabsorption voltage: 14.25 V (for a maximum of 5 hours)Temperature-compensated charging (-30mV/°C) is highly recommended.

Yes, the MVG range is excellent for wintering due to its very low self-discharge. Simply ensure it is fully charged to 100 % before storage, and recharge it if the open-circuit voltage drops below 12.3 V.

This battery is fitted with type A terminals. During installation, use suitable battery lugs and tighten all connections securely to prevent energy loss or overheating.

Incomplete charges can damage Gel batteries. It is therefore essential to recharge the battery to 100% of its capacity regularly, ideally at least once a week during active use of your boat.
