NORTHBATT battery LC 320-12 12V 320Ah VRLA - AGM Lead Carbon

Lead-Carbon technology represents the evolution of conventional VRLA lead-acid batteries, incorporating high-surface-area carbon materials into the negative plate.

This hybrid design merges the strengths of a lead-acid battery — high energy density and stable voltage — with those of a supercapacitor: rapid charge/discharge capability, low internal resistance, and extended service life.

In practice, adding carbon to the negative active material significantly reduces the buildup of lead sulfate crystals (sulfation) — the process that typically shortens the life of standard lead-acid batteries when they operate continuously under partial state of charge (P.S.O.C.) conditions.

This is extremely common in off-grid solar and wind systems, where the battery rarely reaches a full charge cycle.

Key Advantages

• Up to 3,000+ cycles at 50% depth of discharge (D.o.D.) — nearly double the cycle life of standard GEL/AGM deep-cycle batteries
• Up to 50% faster charging, thanks to improved plate conductivity and lower internal resistance
• Excellent P.S.O.C. performance — well-suited to systems that don't always reach full charge
• Minimized sulfation and plate oxidation, resulting in longer real-world service life
• Wide operating temperature range, from -40°C to +60°C
• Sealed, maintenance-free (VRLA) construction — no dedicated battery room required

• Off-grid and hybrid solar power systems
• Energy storage systems (ESS)
• Telecom backup power
• Emergency lighting
• Signaling equipment
