Detailed description

The MASTERVOLT AGM Battery 12/160Ah (reference 62001600) is a robust and versatile energy storage solution designed to meet the demands of marine and mobile applications. With a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 160 Ah (C20), this type 4D battery uses AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) technology for enhanced performance and reliability.

Advanced AGM Technology for Maximum Reliability

MASTERVOLT’s AGM technology features an electrolyte fully absorbed in glass fibers, making the battery maintenance-free and non-gassing under normal operating conditions. This allows flexible installation in various environments, including confined spaces, without requiring specific ventilation. The thicker plate design ensures excellent resistance to deep discharges, significantly extending battery lifespan even under moderate cycling.

Performance and Versatility for Your Power Needs

The AGM Battery 12/160Ah excels at delivering high currents quickly, making it ideal for engine starting, thrusters, windlasses, and powering onboard electronic equipment. It provides cold-starting performance (CCA) of 870 A per SAE standards and 550 A per DIN standards. Its reserve capacity of 351 minutes ensures reliable autonomy for service systems. Thanks to its low internal resistance, optimized by fiberglass technology, it offers superior charge and discharge efficiency. The removable M8 type A terminals ensure compatibility with all standard battery terminals for easy installation. Compared to traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, this AGM battery delivers starting power comparable to, or even greater than, a flooded lead-acid battery with a much higher nominal capacity—such as the equivalence between an AGM 12/90 Ah and a flooded lead-acid battery of 180 Ah.

Technical Specifications and Usage Recommendations

With dimensions of 485 x 170 x 242 mm (LxWxH) and a weight of 42.3 kg, the MASTERVOLT AGM Battery 12/160Ah is built for durability. For optimal performance, it must be charged with an IUoUo charger, with a floating voltage of 13.80 V at 25°C and an absorption voltage of 14.25 V at 25°C (max. 5 hours), with a recommended temperature compensation of -30mV/°C. The maximum charging current is 45 A (approximately 30% of the C10 capacity). It operates within an acceptable temperature range of -20 to 55°C, with a recommended nominal temperature of 25°C. A two-year warranty accompanies this product, underscoring its commitment to quality and durability.

« Technical evaluation of the MASTERVOLT AGM 12V 160Ah battery »

As a marine systems engineer, I consider the MASTERVOLT AGM 12/160Ah battery (reference 62001600) a strategic power solution for any marine or embedded installation requiring reliability and performance. Its AGM design positions it as a superior choice to conventional lead-acid batteries, particularly due to its maintenance-free operation and elimination of gas emissions during normal use, which greatly simplifies integration and ensures enhanced safety on board.

Technically, this 12V 160Ah battery excels with its dual functionality as both a starter and service battery. Its cold cranking amperage (CCA SAE 870A, DIN 550A) values are impressive for its category, ensuring reliable engine starts even under demanding conditions. The 351-minute reserve capacity is also a major asset for powering electronic and comfort equipment, providing extended autonomy. The low internal resistance, inherent to the AGM technology, maximizes charge and discharge cycle efficiency, reducing energy losses and optimizing overall electrical system performance.

Durability is a critical criterion in marine environments. The thicker plates of this MASTERVOLT battery are specifically designed to withstand repeated deep discharges, significantly extending its useful lifespan—a considerable advantage for cyclic applications. Installation is also simplified thanks to its removable M8 terminals, offering flexible connection to standard terminals. It is crucial to adhere to charge specifications (IUoUo characteristic, float and absorption voltages, temperature compensation) to preserve battery longevity. Overall, the MASTERVOLT AGM 12/160Ah represents a wise investment for efficient and secure energy management, capable of supporting the most critical systems on board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What technology is used in the Mastervolt 12/160Ah battery?

The Mastervolt 12/160Ah battery uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. In this battery type, the electrolyte (a mix of water and sulfuric acid) is absorbed into glass fiber separators, making it maintenance-free and non-gassing under normal use.

What is the nominal voltage and capacity of this battery?

This battery has a nominal voltage of 12V and a nominal capacity of 160Ah (measured at C20).

What are the physical dimensions of the AGM 12/160Ah battery?

The external dimensions of the battery, including the handles but excluding automotive-type terminals, are 485 mm (length) x 170 mm (width) x 242 mm (height).

In which position should the battery be installed?

The battery should be installed in an upright position.

Should a gap be left between multiple batteries during installation?

Yes, it is recommended to leave a gap of at least 1 cm between batteries to ensure proper ventilation and prevent heat buildup.

Does the 12/160Ah AGM battery require special ventilation?

Under normal use, AGM batteries do not release gas and do not require specific ventilation. However, in case of overcharging, lead-acid batteries can release an explosive hydrogen gas mixture. If the battery is installed in a confined space, adequate ventilation must be ensured.

What are the main advantages of AGM technology for this battery?

The advantages of AGM technology for this battery include:

It requires no maintenance and does not emit gas during normal use. It delivers excellent starting performance, comparable to a flooded lead-acid battery of 180Ah for an AGM 12/90Ah (performance indicator).
