The Predator ED12550 Deep Cycle AGM Battery is a true, dedicated auxiliary power cell engineered to deliver high power density and excellent runtime across the demanding Australian landscape. Moving far beyond generic backup blocks, this heavy-duty 55 Ah cell features an optimised deep-cycle design with thicker, stronger grids and a proprietary high-density active material. Built to withstand continuous, high-current discharge and recharge routines, its fully sealed architecture provides absolute safety and total maintenance-free operation under the bonnet, in the boot, or deep within your off-grid camping setup.
Perfect for drivers and operators who demand:
- ✓ A space-optimised auxiliary battery for dual-battery 4WDs, caravans, and recreational camping setups
- ✓ Uncompromised deep-cycle recovery capability after heavy, repetitive discharge and recharge cycles
- ✓ A clean, spill-proof, and low-maintenance configuration suited to enclosed cabins and marine environments
Key Features & Benefits
Thick Plate Vibration Armour
- • Extra-thick, reinforced internal grids withstand cyclic structural degradation and sudden road shocks
- • High-density active paste formula guards against plate shedding under intense cycling strain
- • Engineered tough to endure corrugated regional highways, rough outback tracks, and rugged worksites
Sealed Maintenance-Free Cover
- • Advanced AGM design completely immobilises liquid acid to prevent casing or terminal electrolyte leakage
- • True "install and forget" architecture removes any future requirement for hydrometer checks or water top-ups
- • Spill-proof structure allows for efficient and clean operation in almost any mounting orientation except inverted
Advanced Safety & Casing
- • High-strength ABS casing handles elevated operational heat thresholds safely without structural buckling
- • Keeps internal battery cells securely under tight compression, an essential factor for reliable AGM output
- • Zero gassing under normal operating routines safely protects surrounding equipment against corrosion
Electrical Stability
- • Special corrosion-resistant lead-calcium alloy promotes greater conductivity and electrical transmission
- • Ultra-low self-discharge layout loses less than 1% per month at 20°C for superior standby storage health
- • Highly porous glass-mat separators foster smooth current delivery and faster recharge acceptance rates
Advantages & Considerations
Advantages
- ✓ Dedicated true deep-cycle design outlasts general-purpose standby blocks
- ✓ Stable 12-month local warranty coverage for peace of mind
- ✓ Excellent deep-cycle recovery ensures reliable restoration to full capacity
- ✓ Fully sealed, clean, and corrosion-free operation allows safe indoor placement
Considerations
- • Solid 17.00 kg density requires appropriate structural tray mounting and careful lifting
- • Tailored purely for deep-cycle power loads; not intended for primary under-bonnet engine starting
- • For operational longevity, do not run or mount the battery in a completely inverted position
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of this battery?
The service life of the Predator ED12550 depends primarily on average depth of discharge, charging techniques, and general temperature management. Because it features thicker, high-density plates and a special lead-calcium alloy, it outlasts general-purpose or standby options during regular cycling, offering proven quality and reliability.
Is this battery maintenance-free?
Yes, this battery features a completely Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF) architecture. Liquid acid is fully absorbed into premium 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?
This versatile deep-cycle cell is ideal for a broad range of applications, including RV & caravans, solar systems, camping, 4WD auxiliary dual-battery setups, marine house power banking, mobility equipment, aerial work platforms (AWP), electric vehicles & golf carts, industrial floor cleaners, pallet trucks, and portable power packs.
How should I store this battery during the off-season?
Store the unit in a cool, dry setting, away from direct environmental extremes. Thanks to an ultra-low standby self-discharge rate of less than 1% per month at 20°C, it maintains its internal charge exceptionally well during 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?
This product includes a local 12-month warranty protection. It covers early structural, material, or operational failures caused directly by assembly flaws or manufacturing defects during regular cycling under specified application parameters.
