Service Equipment GEL ES1600 battery – 12V 140Ah – EXIDE

The EXIDE Equipment GEL ES1600 is designed for pleasure craft and catamarans with demanding service electrical systems. With a capacity of 140Ah and a power reserve of 1600Wh, it provides the ideal energy source to power your comfort, navigation, and safety equipment for extended periods without access to shore power.

Why choose the EXIDE ES1600?

Energy Density and Space Saving: True to the performance of the Equipment Gel range, the ES1600 offers approximately 30% more space compared to a conventional lead-acid battery of equivalent capacity. It maximizes your energy storage without unnecessarily cluttering your bilges.

Professional Cycle Endurance: The gel electrolyte technology offers unparalleled resistance to deep discharge cycles. It can withstand hundreds of charge/discharge cycles, guaranteeing an extended lifespan of several years, even under heavy use.

Absolute Safety Onboard: Completely hermetically sealed and maintenance-free (VRLA technology), it emits no acid or gas. This total safety allows it to be installed in any compartment, including under berths or near sensitive electronics.

Robustness in Extreme Conditions: The ES1600 is particularly resistant to vibrations and steep inclines. Its internal design prevents any acid stratification, ensuring consistent power from the beginning to the end of the discharge.

Ultra-Low Self-Discharge

Thanks to the purity of its components, the ES1600 boasts record-breaking storage autonomy: it retains 50% of its capacity after 24 months without recharging (at 20°C). This guarantees a fully operational electrical system as soon as the boat is relaunched after winter storage.

Recommended Uses

The EXIDE ES1600 is recommended for:

• Large sailing yachts and motorboats: For building service banks capable of powering refrigeration units, watermakers, and 220V inverters.
• Offshore navigation: Critical reliability for autopilots, radars, and navigation systems on long voyages.
• High-performance solar systems: Excellent absorption capacity for storing energy produced by high-efficiency photovoltaic panels.
