LP200-12 (12V200AH) battery made in Malaysia

Description

The LP200-12 (12V 200Ah) is a high-capacity, deep-cycle Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery utilizing AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. This battery is designed for demanding industrial, telecommunications, and heavy-duty renewable energy storage applications.

Batteries of this specification manufactured in Malaysia are common in the regional market and are typically built to meet high-performance international standards for backup power.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 12V

• Nominal Capacity: 200Ah (at the 20-hour rate)

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

• Typical Dimensions: Approximately 522mm (L) x 240mm (W) x 218mm (H).

• Weight: Approximately 58kg – 65kg (This is a very heavy unit; handle with care).

• 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 Power Output: Optimized for low internal resistance, providing stable discharge rates for high-load applications like large inverter systems.

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

Typical Applications

• Renewable Energy/Solar: Ideal for large-scale off-grid solar storage banks (homes, remote villas, or agricultural setups).

• UPS Systems: Reliable backup power for industrial facilities, server rooms, and critical infrastructure.

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

• Industrial/Commercial: Backup for automated control systems, heavy-duty emergency lighting, and large security systems.

• Mobility/Marine: Used in heavy-duty electric marine equipment or large-scale mobility transport systems.

Critical Maintenance & Usage Tips

Safety Note: Due to the extreme weight (60kg+), ensure that any battery cabinet, rack, or flooring is structurally reinforced to handle the weight. Always use a team or mechanical assistance for installation.

• 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. If using for solar, ensure your charge controller’s Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is configured correctly.

• 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: Use a proper socket wrench to tighten M8 bolts. Ensure connections are tight and clean. Oxidation on these high-capacity terminals can lead to significant heating under load.
