Description
Basic Identity & Type
-
Nominal voltage: 12 volts
-
Nominal capacity: 45 Ah (usually measured over 20 h discharge, sometimes denoted C20)
-
Type / Chemistry: “Dry” generally means the electrolyte is immobilized (not free liquid) — often AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) or VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid).
-
Sealed, maintenance-free: No topping up with water; sealed construction prevents leakage.
In the case of a Multipower MP45-12 (standard type) battery, it is an AGM sealed lead acid battery. Accu-24+2B2B Online Shop+2
Construction & Physical Properties
-
Electrolyte form: Electrolyte is absorbed into glass‐fibre mats, so no free liquid.
-
Enclosure: Shock and break resistant, sealed housing, flame-retardant casing.
-
Self-discharge: Low rate of self-discharge when idle.
-
Weight: Around 14 kg (for some Multipower models)
-
Dimensions & terminals: For MP45-12, dimensions about 198 × 166 × 171 mm (L×W×H) and terminals M6 thread.
-
Maximum short burst current: In MP45-12 spec, up to around 540 A for 5 seconds.
Electrical Characteristics & Performance
-
Nominal capacity: 45 Ah at 20 h rate (i.e. 2.25 A discharge for 20 hours until end voltage)
-
End‐of‐discharge voltage: Typically around 10.5 V (for lead acid)
-
Recommended charging voltage (float / cyclic): Typical AGM lead acid charge regimes might be ~13.5-13.8 V (float) and ~14.4-14.6 V (cyclic) (this depends on the manufacturer’s spec)
-
Charge efficiency: Relatively high (but some loss as heat)
-
Cycle life: Depends heavily on depth of discharge; shallower cycles yield more life
-
Operating temperature range: Usually specified; good performance in moderate temperature range, but reduced capacity at low temperatures
-
Discharge characteristics: The battery can deliver higher currents for short periods; good for use in UPS, emergency power, alarm systems, etc.
Applications
Such a 12 V 45 Ah sealed “dry/AGM” battery is used in:
-
UPS / backup power systems
-
Alarm / fire alarm systems
-
Emergency lighting
-
Telecom / network backup systems
-
Medical equipment
-
Solar / off‐grid systems (in smaller setups)
-
Leisure / camping / caravans (for 12 V loads)
Indeed, the Multipower MP45-12 is marketed for use in alarm & fire systems, emergency power, medical, hobby, industry. Accu-24
Advantages & Limitations
Advantages:
-
Maintenance free (no topping up)
-
Sealed, safe installation (less risk of acid leakage)
-
Good performance and reliable in standby / cyclic applications
-
Relatively robust (shock, vibration tolerant)
Limitations / considerations:
-
Sensitive to overcharging / undercharging
-
Heat reduces lifespan
-
Heavy for its size compared to more modern chemistries (e.g. Li‐ion)
-
Capacity drops at low temperature
