SunDale Canada 12V 100Ah AGM Deep Cycle Battery – Group 31 (G31)
The SunDale Canada 12V 100Ah AGM Battery (Group 31 / G31) is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) AGM deep-cycle battery engineered for reliable, long-term performance in extreme Canadian climates. Designed for UPS systems, backup power, solar energy storage, RVs, marine applications, and industrial control systems, this battery delivers honest capacity ratings, strong discharge capability, and predictable cold-weather performance.
Built with Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology, it is maintenance-free, sealed, and spill-proof, making it ideal for indoor and enclosed installations across Canada.
Honest Capacity Ratings – Why Discharge Rate Matters
Battery capacity is not just about the Ah number—it’s about at what discharge rate that capacity is delivered.
SunDale Canada Rates Capacity Transparently
This battery is rated at:
Many batteries in the market advertise “120Ah” or higher capacities measured at very slow discharge rates such as C100 (100-hour rate).
At these slow rates, batteries appear larger on paper but often deliver significantly less usable energy under real-world inverter, UPS, or backup loads.
By rating capacity at C10, SunDale Canada provides a realistic and honest representation of what users can expect in Canadian backup, solar, and standby applications.
AGM Technology – Better Than Traditional Flooded Lead-Acid
This battery uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) VRLA technology, where the electrolyte is fully absorbed into fiberglass mats.
Advantages of AGM for Canadian Use
✔ Maintenance-free (no watering)
✔ Sealed & spill-proof
✔ Safer for indoor installations
✔ Lower internal resistance
✔ Better voltage stability under load
✔ Improved vibration resistance
✔ Lower self-discharge
AGM batteries are especially well-suited for cold climates, enclosed power rooms, and standby power systems.
Extreme Cold-Weather Performance (Canada-Ready)
Temperature has a major impact on lead-acid battery performance. The SunDale Canada AGM G31 battery is designed for extreme Canadian winters.
-
Operational discharge capability down to –40°C
-
At –20°C, the battery retains approximately 50% of its rated capacity at a 0.2C discharge rate
-
Stable discharge behavior in cold environments compared to flooded lead-acid batteries
This predictable cold-weather performance makes it suitable for:
-
Northern Canadian regions
-
Unheated garages and sheds
-
Remote and rural backup systems
-
Telecommunications and utility applications
Temperature Ranges
-
Discharge temperature: –40°C to +45°C
-
Charge temperature: –4015°C to +45°C
-
Storage temperature: –10°C to +45°C
(As with all lead-acid batteries, charging performance is best maintained above freezing.)
