LP100-12 (12V100AH) battery made in Malaysia

Description

The LP100-12 (12V 100Ah) is a high-capacity, heavy-duty Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery utilizing AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. This battery is designed for demanding industrial, telecommunications, and medium-scale renewable energy storage applications.

Batteries of this specification manufactured in Malaysia are common in the regional market and are typically built to meet international IEC or JIS standards.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 12V

• Nominal Capacity: 100Ah (at the 20-hour rate)

• Technology: VRLA / AGM (Maintenance-free, spill-proof)

• Typical Dimensions: Approximately 330mm (L) x 171mm (W) x 220mm (H).

• Weight: Approximately 28kg – 32kg (varies significantly by manufacturer).

• Terminal Type: Typically M8 bolt-down (Insert) terminals.

• Design Life: Often rated for 5–10 years in standby/float service (at 25°C).

Key Features

• Maintenance-Free: The sealed VRLA construction eliminates the need to add water or perform periodic electrolyte checks.

• High Performance: Optimized for low internal resistance, providing excellent discharge rates for high-load applications like inverter startups.

• Safety: Incorporates a pressure-relief valve for gas recombination, preventing internal pressure buildup during charging.

• Durability: The ABS plastic casing is ruggedized to resist shock, vibration, and thermal stress.

• Versatile: Can be mounted in any orientation (except upside down) due to the immobilized electrolyte.

Typical Applications

• UPS Systems: Reliable backup power for server rooms, data centers, and multi-computer workstation clusters.

• Solar/Renewable Energy: Excellent for small-to-medium off-grid solar storage banks (e.g., in homes or remote communication stations).

• Telecommunications: Provides long-duration backup for signal towers and networking hubs.

• Industrial/Medical: Powering heavy-duty automated equipment, medical diagnostic carts, and large-scale alarm/emergency lighting systems.

• Electric Mobility: Used in heavy-duty electric scooters, floor scrubbers, or large power-wheelchair systems.

Critical Maintenance & Usage Tips

Safety Note: Given the weight (over 28kg), ensure that any shelf, cabinet, or battery tray is structurally rated to handle the load.

• Charging Requirements: Use a high-quality smart charger specifically designed for AGM/SLA batteries.

  • Standby/Float Voltage: 13.5V – 13.8V.

  • Cycle Use Voltage: 14.4V – 14.9V.

• Avoid Deep Discharge: Frequent discharge below 10.5V will rapidly degrade the battery capacity and shorten its lifespan.

• Storage: If stored for long periods, perform a “freshening charge” every 3 months. Storing in a discharged state can lead to irreversible sulfation of the lead plates.

• Terminal Care: With M8 bolt terminals, use a proper wrench or socket. Ensure the connections are tight and coated with a thin layer of terminal grease if the environment is humid, as this helps prevent corrosion.
