Lead carbon chemistry improves charge acceptance and cycle life compared with standard lead-acid batteries, which suits systems that see regular partial-state-of-charge cycling. M8 threaded insert terminals give a secure, vibration-resistant connection for professional installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this lead carbon battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e, lead carbon plates improve charge acceptance and extend cycle life versus conventional VRLA or AGM batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage and capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12V nominal, 106Ah, and can be wired in series or parallel for higher voltage or capacity banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminals\u003c\/strong\u003e, M8 threaded inserts for a firm connection to cable lugs and bus bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCycling\u003c\/strong\u003e, deep-cycle design tolerates regular discharge and recharge, including partial-state-of-charge operation typical of solar use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 35.5 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem fit\u003c\/strong\u003e, works with Victron charge controllers, MultiPlus and Quattro inverter\/chargers, and BMV or SmartShunt monitors set to a lead-acid profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon additives in the negative plate reduce sulphation during partial-state-of-charge cycling, one of the common causes of early failure in solar storage batteries that rarely reach a full charge before the next discharge. This keeps capacity more consistent over the battery's service life than a standard flooded or AGM equivalent. M8 threaded inserts hold torque more reliably than bolt-through terminals where cables are routed under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade by Victron Energy, this battery works within the Victron ecosystem: MPPT charge controllers with a lead-acid preset, MultiPlus and Quattro inverter\/chargers, and BMV or SmartShunt monitors. Wire in series for 24V or 48V banks, or in parallel to add capacity at 12V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited to off-grid solar storage on residential, agricultural and remote sites, backup power systems with regular cycling, marine and leisure setups, and mobile or vehicle-based power including campervans and commercial vehicles.

At 35.5 kg, use proper manual handling and install in a ventilated enclosure suited to lead-acid chemistry. Rate all cabling for the system's maximum current and torque M8 terminal bolts to the manufacturer's specification. Grid-connected solar PV installations should meet G98 or G99 requirements as applicable. Do not mix battery chemistries or capacities within the same bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Victron Lead Carbon Battery 12V\/106Ah (M8)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095614484768,"sku":"BAT612110081","price":242.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-bat612110081-1.webp?v=1785756300","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-106ah-lead-carbon-battery","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
