The Victron 12V/8Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery (BAT212070084) incorporates AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, which uses a glass-fibre mat to absorb the electrolyte. This design enhances durability, making the battery well-suited for applications requiring high-current discharge. The sealed, maintenance-free design is a hallmark of Victron's VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) technology, ensuring reliability and safety in a variety of settings.
Key Features:
- Sealed AGM battery
- 12V battery with 8Ah capacity
- VRLA technology
- Minimal self-discharge rate under 2% per month at 20 °C
- Excellent high current performance suitable for short bursts
- Durable for up to 400 cycles at 80% discharge
Low Self-Discharge Rate
One of the key features of this battery is its exceptionally low self-discharge rate of less than 2% per month at 20 °C. This allows for extended storage periods of up to a year in cool conditions without the need to recharge. This feature makes it an ideal choice for applications where the battery may remain idle for extended periods.
Exceptional Deep Discharge Recovery
The Victron 12V/8Ah AGM battery offers impressive recovery capabilities, even after deep or prolonged discharge events. While repeated deep discharges can affect the battery’s lifespan, its design supports stable recovery, which is especially valuable in demanding applications that may push the battery to its discharge limits.
Efficient Discharge Characteristics
Rated for a 20-hour discharge, the battery maintains effective capacity even at higher discharge rates, with performance decreasing only gradually with increasing discharge current. This feature makes it a versatile choice for both steady and high-current applications, such as powering inverters and other equipment requiring consistent energy output.
Long Cycle Life
This AGM deep-cycle battery is built to last, with a design life of up to 10 years under float conditions at 20 °C. The cycle life supports 400 cycles at 80% discharge, 600 cycles at 50% discharge, and up to 1500 cycles at 30% discharge, providing a durable energy solution for long-term use in energy storage or backup systems.
Compact and Lightweight Design
With dimensions of 151 x 65 x 101 mm and weighing just 2.5 kg, the BAT212070084 is compact and easy to handle. Its lightweight construction makes it highly adaptable for various portable and stationary applications, particularly where space and weight are at a premium.
Flexible Charging Compatibility
The battery is designed to work optimally with Victron’s advanced 4-step adaptive charging curve, which includes modes for safe charging, variable absorption, and storage, all contributing to extended battery life. The system effectively manages voltage and current to prevent excessive gassing and plate corrosion, ensuring efficient and safe charging practices.
