Sonnenschein A512/200 A Lead-gel battery 12V 200Ah

The Sonnenschein A512/200 A is an absolutely maintenance-free lead-gel block battery with very high capacity, developed for the highest standards of operational safety and an extremely long service life in professional standby applications. As part of the globally proven A500 series with Dryfit® gel technology, this battery offers exceptional reliability. With a nominal voltage of 12V and a very high capacity of 200 Ah, it is the ideal energy source for fail-safe emergency power supplies in large industrial plants, data centres and safety-critical systems.

Highlights at a glance

• Superior Dryfit® gel technology: Absolutely maintenance-free throughout its entire lifetime, maximum reliability and leak-proof.
• Extreme longevity: Classified as "Long Life" (12 years and longer) according to Eurobat for maximum investment protection.
• Very high capacity: 200 Ah for maximum bridging times during power outages.
• High cycle stability and deep discharge protection: Offers excellent recovery even after deep discharges.
• Robust construction: Reinforced, impact-resistant housing for use under demanding conditions.

Maximum security of supply for critical infrastructure

The Sonnenschein A512/200 A is the specialist for standby parallel operation, where immediate and reliable energy takeover in the event of mains failure is crucial. Its main fields of application are large uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), telecommunications and IT systems, emergency and safety lighting systems, as well as power supply in power stations, substations and railway systems. Wherever a power outage would have serious consequences, this battery provides the necessary security.

Proven Dryfit® Gel technology

The Dryfit® gel technology, invented and perfected by Sonnenschein, binds the electrolyte in a thixotropic silica gel. This not only makes the battery absolutely leak-proof and maintenance-free, but also ensures excellent cycle stability and very low self-discharge. The internal gas recombination protects against capacity loss and makes operation particularly safe and efficient without the need to top up with water.

Developed for longevity and reliability

The A500 series was designed for maximum cost-effectiveness throughout its entire service life. The extremely long service life of 12 years or more significantly reduces the need for costly and laborious battery replacements in permanently installed systems. The high manufacturing quality and the use of highly pure materials ensure consistent performance and thus contribute to the high operational reliability of the overall system.

FAQs about the Sonnenschein A512/200 A lead-gel battery

What is the main advantage of Dryfit® Gel technology?

The main advantage is the combination of absolute maintenance freedom, the highest cycle stability and extreme longevity. Compared to AGM batteries, gel batteries are often even more robust against deep discharges and offer very consistent performance over a long period, making them the premium solution for critical standby applications.

What does the classification "Eurobat Long Life" mean?

Eurobat is the association of European battery manufacturers. The "Long Life" classification means that this battery is designed for an expected service life of 12 years or more under defined standby conditions (usually 20°C ambient temperature and correct trickle charge).

What is the difference between a standby battery and a starter or solar battery?

A standby battery like this is optimised for standby parallel operation. It is permanently maintained at a constant voltage (float charge) and only rarely has to deliver energy. A starter battery is designed for short-term, high currents. A solar battery (cycle battery) is optimised for daily, deep discharge and recharge.

How should this lead battery be disposed of?

Lead batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge at any retailer selling new batteries or at local recycling facilities to ensure proper recycling.
