The Predator ES1290 General Purpose AGM Battery is a premium, long-life energy storage cell engineered to supply reliable standby and float power across a diverse range of Australian applications. Incorporating advanced Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) technology and low-resistance Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) separators, this 9 Ah battery features an entirely sealed, leak-proof design that completely prevents electrolyte loss. It remains clean, safe, and corrosion-free throughout its service life, serving as a highly efficient and durable power source for critical backup systems, toys, and light everyday devices.
Perfect for users who demand:
- ✓ Uncompromised safety via a pressure relief valve system that handles sudden internal pressure variables
- ✓ Low maintenance convenience with a factory-sealed cover that eliminates checking or adding distilled water
- ✓ Increased vibration protection and low self-discharge rates optimised for prolonged storage and mobile use
Key Features & Benefits
Standby & Light Cycling Stability
- • Internal grid elements configured perfectly to manage general-purpose float and everyday backup cycles
- • Delivers excellent deep-cycle recovery properties, restoring full structural capacity after discharges
- • Fosters superior efficiency and continuous conductivity for a wide range of light applications
Sealed VRLA Architecture
- • Advanced gas recombination loop prevents electrolyte leakage from the casing or terminal zones
- • Features an integrated self-regulating pressure relief valve for added safety during charging
- • Operates efficiently in any orientation except completely inverted, offering high installation flexibility
Advanced Safety & Casing
- • Encased in a high-strength, durable ABS plastic shell designed to manage kinetic impacts smoothly
- • Handles elevated operating engine-bay or enclosure temperatures without tracking structural warping
- • Heavy-duty design maintains high battery cell compression essential for long-term AGM longevity
Electrical Stability
- • Special corrosion-resistant lead-calcium alloy grids ensure optimal transmission and minimum resistance
- • Ultra-low self-discharge rate on standby drops less than 1% per month when kept at 20°C
- • High-purity absorbed glass mat dividers speed up recharge acceptance and maximise current flow
Advantages & Considerations
Advantages
- ✓ Multi-purpose architecture suits daily light cycling loops and stationary backup duties
- ✓ Neat, highly portable 2.66 kg footprint ensures quick handling and simple installation
- ✓ Clean T1 spade terminals promote prompt, low-resistance wiring link safety
- ✓ Spill-proof casing keeps your surrounding equipment spaces pristine and corrosion-free
Considerations
- • Engineered for general purpose applications; not built for heavy-cycle industrial machinery
- • Stationary power layout; not intended for under-bonnet vehicle engine cranking ignition
- • To maximise operational health, do not deploy or operate the battery completely upside down
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of this battery?
In standard standby-backup configurations or light, everyday cycling routines, this premium battery is designed to deliver long-lasting, reliable power. Its overall lifespan depends on consistent charging practices, average depth of discharge, and environmental thermal conditions.
Is this battery maintenance-free?
Yes, this battery features a completely Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) configuration. The internal acid is fully absorbed within premium glass-mat separators, which means fluid loss is controlled, you will never have to add water, and terminal or casing leakage is prevented.
What applications is this battery compatible with?
The ES1290 is highly compatible with a broad range of setups, including NBN Internet panels, home alarm systems, e-scooters, electric bikes, emergency lighting arrays, automated vending paths, electronic toys, UPS backup arrays, security networks, and automated control equipment.
How should I store this battery during the off-season?
Store the battery in a cool, dry location, out of direct exposure to extreme temperatures. Thanks to an incredibly low standby self-discharge rate of less than 1% per month at 20°C, it preserves its internal charge brilliantly over long standby intervals. For best results, top up the charge entirely before storage and use a compatible smart charger periodically.
What is covered under the warranty?
The local warranty covers early operational or structural failures caused directly by internal manufacturing faults or raw material defaults. It ensures dependable protection when the product is deployed in its intended standby or general-purpose applications under regular conditions.
