Powerful performance for cyclic applications
The 6FM100DX reliably supplies power in recurring discharge cycles. With a capacity of 100 Ah at a 10-hour discharge (up to 1.8 V/cell), this battery is an excellent choice for mobile and cyclic energy needs. Its special construction allows a high load capacity, making it ideal for applications with variable current requirements.
Robust technology for demanding environments
Thanks to the VRLA technology with AGM system the 6FM100DX is absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof. The electrolyte is securely contained in a fibreglass mat, which enables safe handling and operation in any position. The battery features self-closing low-pressure relief valves to ensure pressure equalisation within the cells. The case is made of robust ABS plastic, which is also available in a flame-retardant version (UL94:V0) upon request.

FAQs about the VISION 6FM100DX lead-acid battery
For which applications is the 6FM100DX best suited?
This battery was specially developed for cyclic applications where the battery is regularly discharged and recharged. It is ideal as a main power supply for electric vehicles such as golf caddies, wheelchairs, cleaning machines, as well as for solar installations, medical equipment and telecommunications systems.
What does "cycle-resistant" mean?
A cycle-resistant battery is specially designed to handle a high number of charge and discharge cycles without significantly losing its capacity or service life. This distinguishes it from conventional lead-acid batteries, which are more designed for standby operation.
How do I charge the battery correctly?
We recommend using a charger designed for AGM batteries with a capacity of 100 Ah. Observe the manufacturer-recommended charging voltages: for float charging (standby operation) approx. 13.6 V to 13.8 V and for cycle charging (boost operation) approx. 14.4 V to 14.7 V. Too high a charging current can shorten the life of the battery.
How long does the 6FM100DX battery last?
The expected service life of the battery is up to 10 years at 20 °C in design life. However, the actual service life depends heavily on individual operating conditions, depth of discharge and temperature. With 50% depth of discharge, for example, over 650 cycles can be achieved.
