VICTRON ENERGY BAT412800104, is a battery in Victron's lead carbon range that offers better performance at partial charge, more cycles and higher efficiency. By replacing the active material on the negative plate with a lead-carbon composite, one can potentially reduce sulfation and improve the charge acceptance of the negative plate.
Lead carbon: better partial charge performance, more cycles and higher efficiency
By changing the active material on the negative plate to a carbon lead composite, one can potentially reduce sulphation and improve the charge acceptance on the negative plate.
The advantages of carbon lead are therefore:
- Less sulfation when operating with partial charge.
- Lower charging voltage and thus higher efficiency and less corrosion on the positive plate.
- The overall result is an improved cycle life.

It takes time to charge a lead-acid battery
Under ideal conditions, a lead-acid battery would charge at a rate not exceeding 0.2 C and the bulk charge should be followed by eight hours of absorption charging. Increased charging current and charging voltage shortens the charging time but at the cost of shortened life due to increased temperature and faster corrosion of the positive electrode plates due to the higher charging voltage.
