AGM akkumulátor 12 V 160 Ah

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

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

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

It is recommended to install the battery in a vertical position.

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

Under normal use, an AGM battery does not emit gas and does not require specific ventilation. However, in the event 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.

The advantages of AGM technology for this battery include:

It requires no maintenance and does not release gas during normal use. It delivers excellent starting performance, comparable to a 180Ah flooded lead-acid battery for a 12/90Ah AGM (performance indication). Its fiberglass technology ensures low internal resistance, optimizing performance during rapid discharges. Thicker plates extend its lifespan, even under moderate cycling. It can be installed flexibly in various environments.

This battery is fitted with M8 type A terminals, which are compatible with standard battery terminals.

Yes, it is possible to connect this battery in series or in parallel. However, it is imperative that all connected batteries are of the same brand, same type, same capacity, and same state of charge. Do not mix new and old batteries.

This battery's cold cranking amps (CCA) is 550 A per DIN standard and 870 A per SAE standard.

Yes, this battery is also designed for moderate cyclic use, notably thanks to thicker plates that extend its lifespan.

The battery can operate within an acceptable temperature range of -20°C to 55°C. The nominal operating temperature is 5°C to 35°C, with a recommended temperature of 25°C to optimize its lifespan. Note that the battery lifespan is halved for every 10°C increase above the recommended temperature.

It is recommended to use only chargers with an IUoUo characteristic for charging this AGM battery.

The maximum recommended charging current for this battery is 45 A.

To keep your battery in good condition:

Regularly inspect batteries and connections (at least every three months) and immediately correct any faults. Keep the battery charged. If the open-circuit voltage drops below 12.3 Volts, the battery must be recharged. Keep the battery clean and dry using only a soft, damp cloth. Never open the battery or add acid or distilled water.

To preserve the lifespan of your battery:

Avoid deep discharges. Regular discharges beyond 50% of the rated capacity are not recommended. Recharge the battery immediately after a discharge. Never discharge the battery below the final discharge voltage, which is related to the discharge current.

The Mastervolt AGM 12/160Ah battery comes with a two-year warranty.

The recommended torque for terminal connections (M8) is 14.7 to 19.6 Nm.
