Hybrid Monobloc Batteries

Hybrid Technology

Welcome to one of the newest products of the Valen battery range!
Valen Forte battery range features a Hybrid Gel Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) battery that is rechargeable, deep cycle and maintenance-free. Whilst the Valen Forte’s construction is based on the Absorbed Glass Matting (AGM) technology, this Hybrid Gel battery utilises a combination of AGM separators with liquid Gel Colloidal Silica electrolyte. Valen Forte battery technology gives you the best of both worlds; delivering the advantage of increased cycle life similar to that of a Gel battery, with the lower cost advantage of an AGM battery.
