The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery, monobloc battery, for solar installation, alarms, emergency lights, fire-fighting systems.

Characteristics AGM batteries 12V 8Ah Victron Energy

The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery is a 12V voltage battery, sealed monoblock type and, therefore, maintenance free, ideal for powering low power devices such as: alarms, lighting, telecommunication systems, mobile charger, radio etc.

How to use the Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery

The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery is a suitable battery to be installed as a power source in alarm systems. Alarm batteries are characterized by having a large discharge capacity and numerous useful life cycles, with common discharge in alarm systems (which will depend on the consumption and the magnitude of the alarm).

In this way, we can have a reliable battery for a long period of time, while ensuring that it will respond in the event that it has to be used in the event of a power failure.

The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery has a common application in the alarm battery sector. These types of batteries are usually manufactured in AGM technology or also in GEL technology, with low battery self-discharge, since this type of battery is hermetic, so they do not give off gases, they are compact in standard sizes and do not require maintenance such as open lead acid batteries (not recommended for this type of application).

It must be taken into account that all alarm batteries must be well maintained, which is why we recommend that the battery be installed in a clean place and as cool as possible, as well as ensuring that the battery is installed vertically, with the terminals facing up.

The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery is a battery that has a 2-year guarantee, taking into account that the second year of the guarantee, a report from an industrial expert must be attached, since due to the characteristics of the product, it is very sensitive to misuse.

The Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery is a perfect type of battery for alarm systems, where they offer a type of deep and long-lasting discharge, with an extensive useful life within the duration possibilities of monoblock batteries, which are usually around 400 cycles download.

How to know the remaining percentage of battery

When we use the Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery, we always have the doubt of knowing the discharge percentage or the available reserve, just like when we see it on the mobile. In a lead battery, the measurement is not as exact, and we have to take into account several factors so that the figure is close.

If we charge it through a solar charge regulator, the regulator itself knows the energy that is entering the Victron Energy AGM 12V 8Ah Battery, but if we discharge it through an inverter we will need a shunt to know what energy the inverter extracts from the battery and have a more accurate calculation. This device can be an independent battery monitor or a complement to the charge regulator itself.

In the event that the Victron Energy 12V 8Ah AGM Battery is charged through a solar energy system or through an isolated solar kit, we must correctly size the solar installation so that the battery can have a long useful life. In the event that the battery is charged through a conventional battery charger, this should not exceed 15% of the battery's capacity.

For example, if it is a 100Ah battery, the battery charger should not exceed 15Ah of current. With this, we prevent excessive gasification from being generated inside that could cause the deformation of its container.

Make sure that the space you have is sufficient to accommodate it. It must also be taken into account that the working position of the battery is vertical, with the terminals at the top.
