Vision lead-acid battery 6FM55DX with 12V and 55Ah

The Vision 6FM55DX is a robust, cycle-resistant lead-acid battery (VRLA) with a nominal voltage of 12 volts and a capacity of 55 ampere hours. It has been specially designed for demanding applications with recurring charging and discharging cycles. Thanks to the AGM technology (Absorbent Glass Mat), this battery offers a reliable, leak-proof and long-lasting power supply. It is the ideal solution for systems that require high cycle stability and deep discharges, and is ideal for cyclical as well as standby operation.

Highlights at a glance

• Cycle-resistant: Developed for a high number of charging and discharging cycles.
• High capacity: 55 Ah at 12 V for a long-lasting power supply.
• Maintenance-free: Thanks to the leak-proof AGM technology.
• Low self-discharge: Only approx. 3 % capacity loss per month at 20 °C.
• Flexible installation: Operation is possible in different positions, except for permanent overhead installation.
• Long service life: A service life of up to 10 years in the design life.

High performance for cyclical applications

The 6FM55DX reliably supplies power in recurring discharge cycles. With its capacity of 55 Ah, this battery is an excellent choice for mobile applications and systems with high energy requirements. Its special design, which utilises lead-calcium-tin alloys, enables high cycle stability and excellent recovery after deep discharge.

Robust technology for demanding environments

Thanks to the VRLA technology with AGM system the 6FM55DX is absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof. The electrolyte is securely bound in glass fibre fleece, ensuring safe handling and operation in any position. The battery has self-sealing low pressure relief valves that ensure pressure equalisation within the cells. The case is made of robust ABS plastic, which is impact and break-resistant and, if required, is also available in a flame-retardant version (UL94:V0). The low self-discharge rate of about 3 % per month enables long-term storage with high operational readiness.

Characteristics

FAQs on the VISION 6FM55DX lead-acid battery

For which applications is the 6FM55DX best suited?

This battery has been specially developed for cyclic applications where the battery is regularly discharged and recharged. It is ideally suited as the main power supply for electric vehicles such as wheelchairs and golf caddies, as well as for use in solar systems, telecommunication systems and mobile measuring instruments.

What does "cycle-resistant" mean?

A cycle-resistant battery is specially designed to withstand a high number of charge and discharge cycles without significantly losing its capacity or service life. This distinguishes it from conventional lead 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 55 Ah. Observe the charging voltages recommended by the manufacturer. Too high a charging current can shorten the battery's service life.

How long does the 6FM55DX battery last?

The service life of the battery is up to 10 years at 20 °C in the designed life. However, the actual service life depends strongly on the individual operating conditions, the depth of discharge and the ambient temperature.
