By replacing the active material of the negative plate with a lead-carbon composite, it delivers significantly improved charge acceptance, reduced sulfation, and a longer service life — making it an ideal choice for off-grid, solar, marine, and RV energy storage systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead-carbon technology directly addresses the most common failure modes of flat plate VRLA batteries under heavy cycling. The carbon composite on the negative plate minimises sulfation during partial state-of-charge operation, while also enabling lower charge voltages that reduce corrosion on the positive plate and improve overall system efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron's testing confirms a cycle life of at least 500 cycles at 100% depth of discharge, with performance extending to over 1,000 cycles at 60% DoD and more than 1,400 cycles at 40% DoD. This makes the Lead Carbon battery a robust and cost-effective solution for systems that experience frequent or deep discharge cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery features M8 threaded insert terminals for secure and reliable connections, and its robust construction supports both float and cyclic service applications. Compatible with Victron chargers, inverter-chargers, and solar charge controllers, it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of Victron energy systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to Victron's exacting standards and backed by their global support network, the Lead Carbon Battery 12V 106Ah offers a dependable and high-performance energy storage solution for demanding off-grid and mobile power applications where a more compact and lighter form factor is required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLead-Carbon Composite Negative Plate\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe negative plate active material is replaced with a lead-carbon composite, which reduces sulfation under partial state-of-charge conditions and significantly improves charge acceptance compared to standard VRLA lead-acid batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eExtended Cycle Life\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerified cycle performance of at least 500 cycles at 100% DoD, over 1,000 cycles at 60% DoD, and more than 1,400 cycles at 40% DoD — making this battery well suited for applications with frequent or deep discharge cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLower Charge Voltage for Higher Efficiency\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead-carbon technology allows for reduced charge voltages, resulting in greater charging efficiency, lower heat generation, and reduced corrosion of the positive plate — all of which contribute to a longer service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eImproved Partial State-of-Charge Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard lead-acid batteries, the Lead Carbon battery can operate reliably in a partial state of charge without accelerated capacity loss — ideal for solar and off-grid applications where full recharge cycles are not always possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eM8 Threaded Insert Terminals\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with M8 threaded insert terminals, the battery provides a solid and corrosion-resistant connection point suitable for high-current applications and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFloat and Cyclic Service Compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for both float (standby) and cyclic service use, with recommended absorption voltages of 14.1–14.4V and float voltages of 13.5–13.8V, making it adaptable across a variety of installation types and charge profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh Cold Cranking Amperage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a CCA rating of 500A at 0°F, the Lead Carbon 106Ah battery delivers strong starting and surge performance, adding versatility for applications requiring reliable high-current output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWide System Compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for seamless integration with Victron inverters, inverter-chargers, solar charge controllers, and battery monitors, the Lead Carbon battery fits naturally into new or existing Victron energy systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity (C20 to 10.8V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106 Ah\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCycle Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≥500 cycles @ 100% DoD \/ ≥1,000 cycles @ 60% DoD \/ ≥1,400 cycles @ 40% DoD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbsorption Charge Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.1-14.4V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloat Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5-13.8V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold Cranking Amperage (CCA @ 0°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM8 threaded insert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (l × w × h)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e410 × 172 × 225 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDatasheets and Manuals\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/upload\/documents\/Datasheet-Lead-carbon-battery-EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128041816313,"sku":"BDV22106","price":454.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8538\/1625\/files\/Product-BDV22106-1.webp?v=1779276437","url":"https:\/\/emarineinc.com\/products\/victron-lead-carbon-106-a-hr","provider":"eMarine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
