Solar Battery 85Ah

85Ah Solar Battery 12V AGM

AGM Battery for Off-Grid Solar and Renewable Energy Systems

This 85Ah solar battery is a 12V AGM battery designed for use in suitable off-grid solar PV, renewable energy and leisure applications.

With an 85Ah capacity, it provides stored DC energy that can be used as part of a correctly designed solar battery system.

The battery is particularly suited to smaller solar PV systems and applications where dependable battery storage is required without the maintenance associated with conventional flooded lead-acid batteries.

12V 85Ah Solar Battery

The key specifications of this battery are:

• Battery type: AGM
• Nominal voltage: 12V
• Capacity: 85Ah
• Application: Solar and renewable energy storage
• System type: Suitable for compatible off-grid systems
• Technology: Sealed AGM construction

Always check the manufacturer’s specifications and the requirements of your system before ordering.

What Is an AGM Solar Battery

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology uses an absorbent material to hold the electrolyte within the battery.

AGM batteries are sealed and designed to offer low self-discharge compared with many conventional battery technologies.

This makes an AGM battery a practical option for applications where the battery may need to store energy for periods between charging cycles.

The battery should still be selected according to the intended charging method, discharge requirements and operating conditions.

85Ah Battery for Off-Grid Solar

A 12V 85Ah battery can form part of a smaller off-grid solar system, where energy generated by solar panels is stored for later use.

A typical system can include:

Solar panel → solar charge controller → 12V battery → DC loads or inverter

The actual amount of energy available depends on the battery’s state of charge, discharge rate, system losses and the equipment connected to it.

For larger power requirements, multiple batteries or a higher-capacity battery system may be more appropriate.

85Ah Solar Battery for Leisure Applications

This 85Ah AGM battery is also suitable for compatible leisure and mobile applications, where a 12V stored-energy source is required.

Potential applications include:

• Caravan systems
• Motorhome systems
• Small off-grid solar installations
• Remote equipment
• Battery-backed lighting
• Renewable energy projects
• Small 12V electrical systems

The battery must be installed and charged using equipment that is compatible with AGM battery technology.

Choosing the Correct Solar Battery

Battery capacity should be selected according to the energy requirements of the complete system.

Before ordering, consider:

• Required battery voltage
• Daily energy consumption
• Maximum electrical load
• Required operating time
• Solar panel capacity
• Charge controller compatibility
• Inverter requirements
• Available battery charging capacity
• Physical battery size
• Battery operating conditions

An 85Ah battery should not be selected simply because it is a convenient capacity. The battery, solar charging equipment, inverter and connected loads all need to be compatible.

Solar Panels for Charging the Battery

A compatible solar panel and charge controller can be used to recharge the battery from solar energy.

For smaller solar charging applications, see our Small Solar Panels.

For larger domestic solar PV systems, see our Domestic Solar Panels.

The solar charge controller must be appropriate for the battery voltage, battery technology and solar array.

Solar Charge Controllers

A suitable charge controller regulates the electricity supplied from the solar panels to the battery.

Our Off-Grid Charge Controllers include controllers for compatible off-grid solar battery applications.

For smaller systems, the appropriate controller should be selected according to the solar panel output and battery charging requirements.

Battery Cables and Connections

Correctly sized battery cabling is important when connecting the battery to a charge controller, inverter or DC equipment.

Our Solar Battery Cable Lengths are made to order in a range of cable sizes and terminal configurations.

For PV-side connections, see our 4mm Solar PV Cable.

For ready-made panel connections, see our MC4 Male Female Cable.

85Ah Battery With an Inverter

Where stored battery energy needs to be converted into 230V AC electricity, a compatible inverter can be connected to the battery.

Our 12/24V Phoenix Inverters provide Victron inverter options for suitable battery-powered 230V AC applications.

The inverter’s continuous and peak power requirements must be compatible with the battery and the complete DC system.

Off-Grid Solar Battery Equipment

For customers building an off-grid system, related equipment includes:

Off-Grid Batteries – Solar and renewable-energy battery options.

Off-Grid Charge Controllers – Controllers for managing compatible solar battery charging.

Off-Grid Accessories – Switches, fuses, cables and other system components.

Off-Grid Inverters – Inverters for converting suitable battery DC power into AC electricity.

Small Off-Grid Solar System – Complete smaller off-grid system options.

Solar Battery Protection

Battery systems can deliver substantial DC current, so appropriate protection should be used.

A suitable battery installation may require:

• Battery fuse
• Battery isolation switch
• Correctly sized battery cables
• Suitable terminals
• DC protection
• Compatible charge controller
• Appropriate inverter protection

See our Blade Fuses for battery and DC circuit protection options.

The protection equipment must be selected according to the battery, cable and connected equipment specifications.
