The Predator ED12480 AGM Deep Cycle Battery is a cutting-edge energy storage solution designed to bring extraordinary power, resilience, and efficiency to the Australian market. Engineered to far exceed standard parameters, this versatile 48 Ah cell utilises advanced Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology to offer completely maintenance-free operation and an entirely leak-proof structure. Combining high-cranking starting power with impressive reserve capacity, it serves as a premium dual-purpose option engineered to be tough enough to navigate corrugated regional tracks, marine environments, and demanding daily industrial tasks alike.

Perfect for drivers and operators who demand:

✓ Highly dependable starting power paired with exceptional reserve stamina for 12V appliances
✓ Total under-bonnet and cabin convenience with a factory-sealed casing that never leaks or requires watering
✓ Outstanding structural durability built tough to withstand punishing off-road corrugations and rugged marine travel

Key Features & Benefits

Platelock™ Vibration Armour

• Extra-thick internal plates are locked tightly under compression to protect vital active components from shock
• High-density active material paste formula minimises grid degradation and prevents internal plate shedding
• Engineered tough to survive continuous structural stress on corrugated outback roads and boat trays

Sealed Maintenance-Free Cover

• Liquid electrolyte acid is fully absorbed in sponge-like glass-mat separators to prevent leakage
• Advanced closed-loop gas recombination system successfully eliminates internal fluid evaporation
• True "install and forget" design avoids any need for electrolyte hydration top-ups or specific gravity checks

Electrical Stability & Efficiency

• Unique lead-calcium alloy grid design yields low internal resistance for superior electrical current flow
• Provides consistent high-cranking capability to guarantee reliable starts even in harsh winter climates
• Ultra-low self-discharge rate protects voltage margins, preserving optimal health during seasonal standby

Advanced Safety Systems

• High-strength ABS casing handles elevated operational heat thresholds safely without structural buckling
• Spill-proof casing keeps nearby electrical circuits completely protected against chemical corrosion
• Specialised degassing pathways route pressure safely away, preventing external atmospheric ignition risks

Advantages & Considerations

Advantages

✓ Dual-purpose build profile excels at both engine cranking and long-lasting auxiliary supply
✓ Solid 48 Ah capacity delivers a robust, sustained runtime buffer for remote campsites
✓ Neat T6 threaded inserts ensure clean, secure, and low-resistance terminal connections
✓ Non-hazardous configuration allows safe placement inside enclosed vehicle cabins or marine house trays

Considerations

• Dense commercial-grade internal plates result in a solid 14.20 kg weight that requires secure mounting tie-downs
• Not engineered to match the rapid, intensive starting demands of modern automotive Idle Stop-Start systems
• Always verify that the physical 197mm length dimensions precisely fit your allocated battery tray footprint

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of this battery?

Under regular auxiliary operating conditions, this high-performance battery delivers a long, reliable service life. Total lifecycle parameters are optimised by its thick, deep-cycle plates and advanced grid design, helping it outperform standard options during frequent discharge cycles and regional off-road adventures.

Is this battery maintenance-free?

Yes, this model features a completely Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) architecture. Liquid electrolyte acid is fully absorbed within porous glass-mat separators, meaning fluid loss is minimised, you will never have to add distilled water, and terminal or casing leakage is completely prevented.

What applications is this battery compatible with?

The ED12480 is highly dynamicised for a broad spectrum of uses. It is perfectly suited for camping setups, medical mobility scooters, remote lighting networks, 12V domestic appliances, electric vehicles & golf carts, marine house systems, and 4WD auxiliary banks.

How should I store this battery during the off-season?

Store the battery in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight and climate extremes. Thanks to its premium internal materials and low self-discharge configuration, it maintains stable voltage during long standby intervals. Charge fully before storage, then top up periodically with a compatible smart charger.

What is covered under the warranty?

The local warranty covers early structural, material, or operational failures caused directly by internal manufacturing defaults or assembly flaws. It ensures secure consumer protection when the product is deployed in its intended deep-cycle or starting applications under normal conditions.
