荷兰VETUS蓄电池是专为安装于游艇和特殊工作环境而设计的，与其它应用领域相比，有许多不同的特点。
VETUS蓄电池的特点：
1. 无需添加电解质
VETUS蓄电池有足够电解质来供其终生使用，因此除了防火通风孔外，整个电池是密封的（压力安全阀）
2. 只需简单的维护
VETUS蓄电池可以很简单的安装并连接，不需要补充电液。此后仅需要用电压感应电池充电器或是发电机给电池充电即可。
一般通用
通常船上的电路系统是分开的（启动和其他服务），所以需要两种电池。缺点是启动电池往往只能使用数次，寿命较短，而其他电池由于充放电次数过多同样导致寿命较短。VETUS蓄电池则可以承受多次充电∕放电并能提供较大启动电流。
本身流失电量极低
在周围环境为25℃时，VETUS蓄电池每个月的本身流失电量从未超过3％。相比较来说，传统的富液型铅酸电池每个月的本身流失电量大约为15％。因此，在过了冬季的几个月后，电池不需充电仍可启动引擎。另外，VETUS蓄电池虽只是充电50％，仍能耐受-30％（-22℉）的温度，这样可在冬季时无需将电池从船上移掉。
电池磁极
除了带有双线端子的BAT12070M型和BAT12108M型外，所有VETUS蓄电池都带有SAE锥形正负极接头。除了标准的锥形接头，这些型号还有一个带UNC的螺栓及碟状螺母。
即可使用
VETUS蓄电池交付时便已充满电液并已经充电，故只需打开包装安装即可后使用。
The range of special High Discharge models offer excellent characteristics for applications that require very high discharge rates. For example, the12V 9Ah High Rate battery has dimensions equal to those of a standard 12V 7Ah battery but delivers nearly 30% more power. While the 12V 33Ah High Rate battery comes in the shape of a standard 12V 28Ah battery. 12V 22Ah High Rate battery The pbq 22HR-12 is a 22Ah battery especially designed for customer re a battery in the shape of a standard 12V 18Ah battery but with increased capacity. Imagine the case where you change your computer system and find out that a controlled shutdown takes longer that your UPS is able to deliver! Just exchange the standard batteries with the pbq HR 22-12 and you instantly gain more backup time. Being able to deliver a 100A current during 5 minutes and even much higher start-up currents makes this battery also ideally suited as a stand-by power source for electric motors, cooling e etc. 12V 15Ah High Rate battery The pbq HR 15-12 is a very popular model for electric bikes and scooters since it is shaped like a standard12V 12Ah battery but offers 25% more capacity and is able to cope with the high inrush currents usually associated with electric motors. With an internal resistance of less than 12mOhm the voltage during discharge remains higher than when using standard 12V 12Ah cyclic or stand-by batteries. The compact form-factor ensures that this battery can be used as a direct replacement for standard 12V 12Ah batteries. High Rate battery technology In order to keep grid-corrosion and current per cm2 at acceptable levels, the pbq HR Discharge batteries are constructed around a larger area for both positive and negative material. This is done by adding extra plates in the same volume. Rather than use electrolyte with a higher specific gravity, a method rejected by pbq since this will reduce the functional life of the batteries to unacceptable levels. Typical applications of High Rate batteries Designed for a functional life of 4-5 years at 25oC in backup applications, these AGM batteries are ideal for space limited applications re more power than can be delivered by a standard battery. Typical High rate battery applications: UPS systems Jump starters Telecommunication (emergency) lights, pumps and valves Tools
