The image shows the Sahara Energy 12V 250Ah Tall Tubular Battery, a deep-cycle battery designed primarily for solar power systems and inverter backups.
Specifications
- Core Specifications
- Voltage & Capacity: Rated at 12 Volts with a substantial 250Ah (Ampere-hour) capacity.
- Technology: Uses Tall Tubular plate technology. Unlike standard flat-plate batteries, this design uses vertical tubes to hold active materials, which significantly reduces "shedding" during frequent charge/discharge cycles.
- Deep Cycle Design: Built to withstand repeated deep discharges (up to 80% Depth of Discharge) without immediate damage to the internal plates.
- Invertek energy
- Invertek energy
- +4
- Performance Benefits
- Extended Lifespan: Typically offers a longer operational life—often between 3 to 5 years (36–60 months) with proper maintenance.
- High Thermal Tolerance: The "Tall" design allows for a larger volume of electrolyte (acid/water mix), which helps in better heat dissipation, making it highly reliable in hot environments.
- Charge Efficiency: It features optimized plate chemistry for fast charge acceptance, allowing it to recharge quickly when power (grid or solar) is available.
- SunGarner
- SunGarner
- +3
- Physical Characteristics & Maintenance
- Durability: Housed in a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant container designed to handle vibrations and mechanical stress.
- Maintenance: While marketed as "low maintenance," it is a flooded-type battery that requires periodic water topping to maintain the electrolyte at the correct level. Most models include float indicators for easy level checks.
- Weight: Due to its high lead content and larger electrolyte capacity, it is heavy, typically weighing around 60kg to 75kg.
