The AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery is a compact accumulator for photovoltaic installations, standard size and does not require maintenance.
Description of the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery
The AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery is a small, maintenance-free accumulator. It is perfect for installation indoors or in small, non-ventilated spaces, providing very satisfactory performance for this range of compact batteries given its great versatility. Its technical specifications make this battery very competitive compared to models from other brands, thanks to its great value for money.
The AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery has compact dimensions and a standard format. Although it can be laid down for transport, it is optimal for it to work in a vertical position, with the terminals at the top. It is recommended not to exceed 30% discharge on a regular basis in order to extend the useful life of the battery. The battery supports and is prepared for deep discharges, although it is not recommended that it be constantly so as not to drastically reduce its useful life.
The AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery is a 12V battery because it has 6 2V cells inside. It is of the VRLA type, which indicates that it is a sealed model that does not need maintenance. The electrolyte inside it remains in a membrane around the lead plates instead of being in a liquid state, flooding them.
It is a deep cycle, although it is not recommended to do this type of discharge in the usual way because we will significantly reduce its useful life. At 30% it can offer more than 1200 cycles, while at 50% discharges its life cycles will be reduced by more or less half. That is why, in order to preserve a good useful life for ours, it is not advisable to exceed this threshold.
Characteristics of the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery
Among the characteristics of the AGM 12V 18Ah Tensite Battery, we can list the following:
- Dimensions of 151 x 65 x 94 mm (including the connection terminal).
- Approximate weight of 2.55 kg
- Capacity in C20: 9Ah.
- Absolute limit voltage with discharged battery: 10.5V.
- VRLA battery without maintenance (Valve Regulated Lead Acid).
- AGM technology with absorbent glass separator between the lead plates.
The AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery, manufactured with AGM technology, guarantees a good compromise between durability and price. An excellent option in compact monobloc batteries and with the convenience of forgetting about maintenance. AGM technology is a little cheaper than GEL, but with a higher cost than open lead that is offset by its advantages, mainly in terms of the number of life cycles, so long-term investment pays off .
It is imperative to use a charger that is suitable for this VRLA battery technology, that performs the stages properly, respecting the charging processes and also that has an intensity according to the capacity of this model. It is not advisable to exceed 2A. If we use it in a photovoltaic solar installation, a charge regulator appropriate to its characteristics and properly configured for this battery must be used.
Common uses of the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery
It is a battery that we can apply in multiple uses, such as lighting, signaling, small solar installations, etc. Avoid resorting to these batteries for traction applications such as wheelchairs, scooters, scooters, or that have to power an electric motor that moves a vehicle in general.
For all other applications, it is always recommended that the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery should remain charged most of the time because the useful life is progressively reduced the longer the battery remains discharged.
Installing the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery
You have to work in a vertical position, with the terminals at the top. It can be tilted or laid down, but when it is in operation, it must remain vertical because internally the battery is designed to facilitate the recombination of gases and their internal recirculation.
You must keep the AGM 12V 9Ah Tensite Battery in a cool and dry place, do not put it outdoors and make sure that it is in an optimal state of charge at all times.
