Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite Sealed Battery perfect for powering lighting, laptop, television, etc.

The Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite Sealed Battery is a perfect option to power lighting, laptop, television, etc. Being of the monoblock type, it is maintenance-free. It is very easy to transport and install thanks to its compact design.

Characteristics of the Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite Sealed Battery

The Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite Sealed Battery is a 12V battery, so it is made up of 6 2V cells. It is a monoblock type so its maintenance is minimal. Its most common uses are for powering low-power devices such as lighting, laptops, televisions, mobile chargers, and even small isolated installations. It is also ideal for uses that are not demanding.

The dimensions of the battery are 514x276x242 mm and its weight is 60.45 kg, therefore you must make sure that you have enough space to place it.

The cells are reinforced and have special insulation to minimize evaporation so that it is redirected back inside. In any case, the place of installation must have ventilation so that gases do not accumulate. It is important to maintain the natural position of the battery, that is, with the terminals at the top both when mounting and during transport.

Uses Sealed Battery Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite

To maintain the voltage at the appropriate levels, the battery must be charged through a charge regulator or battery charger. To choose the correct one, consult the technical sheet and look at the flotation stage. On many occasions, charge regulators carry out this process at a predefined time, so if the one chosen allows it, it is convenient to activate this function.

When using a sealed battery there is a question as to what level of charge it will be at. In this type of batteries, the measurement is not so exact and some factors must be taken into account so that the figure is as accurate as possible. Through the charge regulator we can know how much energy is coming into it, but when discharging it through an inverter, a shunt will be necessary to know what energy the inverter extracts from the battery. This device can be a stand-alone battery monitor or a complement to the regulator.

If the Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite Sealed Battery is charged via a battery charger, it should not exceed 15% of the battery capacity. In other words, in a 100Ah battery, the battery charger must not exceed 15Ah of current. This prevents excessive gasification inside the battery and the container from deforming.

In the case of this battery, it is not designed to withstand deep discharge compared to the rest of AGM batteries or GEL batteries, even so, there are models that perform well even when they are closed lead acid batteries.

Maintenance Battery Sealed Blue 260Ah 12V Tensite

This battery, being closed lead acid, does not require any type of physical maintenance. It is best to place it in a place with ventilation and protected from high temperatures and direct light to avoid shortening its useful life. The battery is guaranteed for two years provided it has been handled correctly and the manufacturer's advice has been followed. It is important to note that from AutoSolar we recommend connecting the batteries in series. If they were connected in parallel, the useful life would be considerably reduced and the guarantee offered by the manufacturer would be lost.
