Lead Carbon 12V/106Ah Battery combines the time-tested advantages of VRLA AGM technology with advanced innovations through the introduction of carbon components into the negative plate structure. This modification radically increases endurance when working in a state of partial charge, minimizes the risk of sulfation, and significantly extends the overall battery lifespan. This is an ideal choice for systems with frequent and deep charge-discharge cycles, especially for off-grid solar power plants.
Key Advantages of the Victron Lead Carbon Battery
- Capacity 106 Ah at a voltage of 12 V — an excellent basic solution for powerful UPS, off-grid networks, and hybrid power installations.
- Impressive lifespan: over 1000 cycles at 60% discharge and over 500 cycles at a full (100%) discharge.
- Adaptation to partial state of charge (PSOC) conditions — the innovative composition significantly slows down the process of plate sulfation, increasing durability.
- Reduced charge voltage — provides less heat generation and slows down the corrosion of internal components.
- Resistance to intense cyclic loads — confirmed by rigorous testing in Victron Energy laboratories.
- Robust M8 bolt terminals — guarantee reliable electrical contact in both stationary and mobile use.
- Minimal heating during charging — increases operation efficiency and safety even in poorly ventilated areas.
Technological Features
- Lead Carbon Technology: the presence of a carbon additive in the negative plate prevents sulfation and allows the battery to accept a charge faster.
- Highest efficiency in cyclic mode: especially relevant for systems based on renewable energy sources, where deep discharges are a daily norm.
- Thermal stability: the battery perfectly copes with high currents without the risk of critical overheating.
- Guaranteed durability: the real ability to work out over 1000 cycles even with incomplete discharges.
Use Cases
- Mobile systems (yachts, motorhomes) — an optimal option for medium-power inverter systems requiring high energy output.
- Building backup power systems — a reliable component for hybrid inverters in offices and private houses.
- Industrial facilities with generator charging — the ability to quickly accept high charge currents makes them indispensable when working with diesel generator sets.
- Incomplete charge modes — the battery maintains functionality and capacity even with chronic undercharging.
- Solar energy — an ideal setup with intelligent MPPT controllers for daily cyclic use.
Recommended Charge Parameters
- Absorption voltage: 14.1 – 14.4 V
- Float charge: 13.5 – 13.8 V
- Storage mode: 13.2 – 13.5 V
- Recommended charge current: 10.6 A (optimally – 10% of nominal capacity), allowable range – 7.42-15.9 A (7-15%), maximum – up to 21.2-31.8 A (20–30%) strictly according to the technical documentation.
Quality Charging and Monitoring
- Intelligent chargers: Blue Smart series (IP22/IP65/IP67) — for careful and high-precision capacity replenishment.
- Charge symmetry: Battery Balancer modules — for voltage equalization in 24/36/48V series assemblies.
- Protective automation: BatteryProtect or Smart BatteryProtect relay — will reliably disconnect the load before the battery goes into a deep discharge.
- Charging from a generator on the go: Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC converters — ideal for auto and water transport.
- Monitoring systems: Battery Monitor BMV-700, BMV-712 Smart, or SmartShunt shunts — will provide accurate data on voltage, current strength, state of charge (SOC), and battery life.
