Information
The Bosch 12V 260Ah AGM Battery represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty deep-cycle performance. Unlike standard flooded batteries, its internal acid is completely absorbed in high-purity glass mat separators. This completely sealed design makes the battery entirely spill-proof and leak-proof, allowing for safe installation in versatile mounting positions.
Designed specifically for sustained, high-current discharge and rapid recharge cycles, this massive 260Ah unit is the ultimate heart for heavy-use caravans, off-grid cabins, marine craft, and critical solar storage networks. This is a premium investment for New Zealand conditions, ensuring you have dependable, long-lasting power exactly when and where you need it most.
Features
- Advanced AGM Technology: Delivers superior cyclic stability and extreme vibration resistance for rugged Kiwi roads and remote tracks.
- Massive 260Ah Capacity: Provides extended runtime for heavy appliance loads, off-grid refrigeration, and multi-day camping.
- 100% Maintenance-Free: Sealed, gas-recombinant design means you never have to check fluid levels or top up water.
- Spill-Proof Construction: Safe for installation inside vehicle cabs, under seats, or inside caravan living areas.
- Rapid Recharging: Lower internal resistance allows the battery to accept charge significantly faster than traditional flooded batteries.
- Extended Cycle Life: Engineered to withstand deep discharges and recover repeatedly without sacrificing longevity.
- Robust Flame-Retardant Casing: Built tough to endure harsh environmental temperatures and demanding operating conditions.

To maximize the life of your Bosch 12V 260Ah AGM battery, it must be charged using an AGM-compatible smart charger or a properly configured DC-to-DC charger.
- Charging Profile: Always select the dedicated "AGM" or "Gel/AGM" setting on your charger.
- Recommended Charging Current: A bulk charging current between 26A and 65A (10% to 25% of the Ah capacity) is ideal for optimal battery health.
- Bulk/Absorption Voltage: 14.4V – 14.7V (at 25°C)
- Float Voltage: 13.5V – 13.8V (at 25°C)
- Avoid Traditional Chargers: Never use an old-style, unregulated "dumb" garage charger, as overcharging will vent gases and permanently damage the sealed AGM cells.
Smart Advice for Maintenance
- Avoid Ultra-Deep Discharges: For maximum life span, try to keep your depth of discharge (DoD) above 30%. Frequently running a heavy 260Ah battery down to 0% will rapidly shorten its overall life cycle.
- Store Fully Charged: If you are putting your caravan or boat into storage for the winter, fully charge the battery beforehand. Check and top it up every 2 to 3 months, as AGM batteries self-discharge very slowly.
- Temperature Matters: Keep the battery away from direct engine heat where possible. High temperatures accelerate internal degradation, while cool, well-ventilated spaces extend its life.
- Handle with Care: At over 78kg, ensure your mounting trays, brackets, and lifting equipment are rated for heavy-duty commercial batteries.
- Keep Terminals Clean: Periodically check that the terminal connections are tight and free of dust or moisture to prevent high-resistance contact points.
