AGM akkumulátor 12 V 55 Ah

This battery uses AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) technology. The electrolyte is absorbed into glass fibers, making it completely sealed, maintenance-free, and without gas emissions during normal use. It provides excellent cranking performance, low internal resistance, and extended lifespan thanks to the use of thicker plates.

The battery has external dimensions of 257 x 132 x 200 mm (Length x Width x Height, including handles). Its weight is 17 kg.

The battery must be installed in an upright position. It is recommended to maintain a clearance of at least 1 cm between batteries and to keep them away from heat sources.

For the 55Ah model, the recommended tightening torque for screw connections is 11 to 14.7 Nm (97 to 130 InLbs).

It is imperative to use only chargers with an IUoUo characteristic to charge this battery.

Recommended voltage settings are: Float charge: 13.80 V at 25°C Absorption charge: 14.25 V at 25°C (maximum 5 hours) Temperature compensation of the charge is also recommended (–30 mV/°C or –17 mV/°F).

The maximum charging current is 30% of the nominal C10 capacity, which corresponds to 15.3 A for this 55 Ah battery.

Before installation, ensure all loads and chargers are turned off. For optimal connection, it is recommended to mount the cable lug directly onto the battery terminal by first removing the pole adapter. Use reliable and appropriately sized cable lugs and terminals, tighten all connections firmly, and connect the negative cable last. Ensure correct polarity is maintained.

Yes, it is possible to connect multiple batteries in series or in parallel. However, all connected batteries must be of the same brand, type, capacity, and state of charge. Mixing old and new batteries is not recommended.

The nominal capacity of this battery is 55 Ah (C20).

The cold cranking amps (CCA) are 250 A per DIN standard and 400 A per SAE standard.

Yes, this battery is particularly suited for systems requiring high currents, such as engine starting, thanks to its fiberglass technology that allows rapid discharge at high currents.

The battery is equipped with M6 / type A terminals. They are removable and compatible with all standard battery terminals, making integration into various electrical configurations easier.

To optimize battery lifespan, avoid regular deep discharges beyond 50% of the rated capacity. Recharge the battery immediately after each discharge and ensure it is fully charged to 100% regularly, at least once a month. Maintain the battery at a nominal operating temperature of 25°C, as a 10°C increase can halve its lifespan.

The permitted operating temperature range is –20 to 55°C. The recommended nominal operating temperature is 5 to 35°C, with an ideal temperature of 25°C.

No, this battery is designed to be maintenance-free thanks to its AGM technology. It is never necessary to add acid or distilled water. However, it is recommended to check the connections and the battery's general condition at least every three months, and to keep it clean and charged.

The battery must be recharged when its open-circuit voltage drops below 12.3 Volts. Incomplete charges can damage the battery, so it is essential to charge it to 100% regularly, at least once a month.

To clean the battery, use only a soft, damp cloth. Never use additives, acids, or abrasive products on the battery.

In normal use, AGM technology ensures the battery is completely sealed and does not release any gas. However, in case of overcharging, lead-acid batteries may vent an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. It is therefore crucial to ensure adequate ventilation if the battery is installed in a confined space and to adhere to the recommended charging voltages.

The Mastervolt AGM 12/55Ah battery is covered by a two-year warranty.
