CLC200-12  |  12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery  |  2,400Wh  |  T11 (M8 Threaded Insert)  |  164.0 lbs (74.4 kg)  |  Pure Lead Carbon  |  UL 1989 Certified

The Canbat 12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery is a pure lead carbon VRLA battery engineered for large-format stationary energy-storage systems that experience frequent cycling, partial-state-of-charge operation, and irregular recharge patterns. Rated at 200Ah (C10) and 2,400Wh with 2,500+ cycles at 50% depth of discharge, support for deeper discharge profiles up to 80% DoD where system design allows, and a 20+ year design floating life at 20°C, the CLC200-12 is designed for larger battery banks requiring higher reserve capacity in stationary partial-state-of-charge energy-storage applications — delivering premium PSoC performance for higher-capacity off-grid solar, renewable energy battery banks, telecom backup, remote power sites, and hybrid inverter and genset systems. Carbon added to the negative electrode helps reduce sulfation under partial-state-of-charge operation — a common failure mode of standard AGM batteries in daily-cycling solar and remote-power applications. Certified to UL 1989.

Typical Applications

The CLC200-12 12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery is designed for large-format stationary energy-storage applications where batteries are frequently cycled, regularly operated at partial state of charge, or required to recharge quickly between discharge events. Rated at 200Ah (C10) at 12V, this 12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery is suited to higher-capacity off-grid solar energy storage systems, renewable energy battery banks, telecom and remote infrastructure backup, microgrids and grid-support storage, hybrid inverter and genset systems, industrial partial-state-of-charge cycling applications, and remote power sites where standard AGM batteries are limited by sulfation and reduced cycle performance under repeated partial-charge operation. The CLC200-12 is also a strong fit as a 12V lead carbon solar battery for large off-grid solar systems, renewable energy storage banks, and remote power sites where partial-state-of-charge cycling is common. For large RV and marine house banks where frequent solar charging and partial-state-of-charge operation are expected, the CLC200-12 offers stronger PSoC cycling performance than standard deep cycle AGM batteries. The CLC200-12 is commonly used as a replacement 12V 200Ah lead carbon battery in large off-grid solar installations, renewable energy systems, telecom backup infrastructure, and engineered stationary energy-storage applications.

UL 1989 Certification

UL 1989 certification provides third-party verification of battery safety and performance requirements for sealed lead acid batteries. The CLC200-12 is certified to UL 1989, the Underwriters Laboratories standard covering electrical performance, mechanical integrity, and safety requirements including overcharge tolerance and short circuit protection. As a valve-regulated sealed lead acid battery, the CLC200-12 does not carry the thermal runaway profile associated with lithium-ion energy storage systems and does not require a Battery Management System for cell-level protection — simplifying installation and reducing system complexity for indoor, confined-space, and remote-site energy-storage applications. Certification is issued following independent third-party laboratory evaluation — not manufacturer self-declaration.

Canbat maintains UL 1989 certification across its sealed lead acid battery lineup, including the CLC lead carbon series.

Carbon-Enhanced Plate Technology

The CLC200-12 12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery uses pure lead carbon construction, with carbon added to the negative electrode to improve charge acceptance and help reduce sulfation under partial-state-of-charge conditions. In standard AGM batteries, repeated partial charging causes sulfation to accumulate on the negative plate — a leading cause of premature failure in solar, telecom, and off-grid applications where batteries are rarely recharged to 100% daily. The carbon additive acts as a supercapacitor layer within the negative plate, improving conductivity, accelerating charge acceptance, and helping maintain plate integrity under the irregular recharge patterns common in renewable energy and remote-power systems.

Carbon conductivity also improves charge acceptance — the CLC200-12 can recover from 50% to 90% state of charge in under an hour, a critical operational advantage for telecom sites recharging between outages, hybrid genset systems with limited run time, and large off-grid solar installations with unpredictable solar availability.

The sealed valve-regulated design provides non-spillable, maintenance-free operation with no watering requirements. The durable ABS container is suited to stationary energy-storage, telecom backup, remote power, and off-grid solar applications. Canbat lead carbon batteries offer up to 24-month storage capability under proper conditions, with recharge intervals depending on storage temperature and state of charge — significantly longer than standard AGM batteries and well-suited to remote sites, seasonal installations, and inventory applications where extended storage between deployments is expected.

PSoC Performance & Cycle Life

The CLC200-12 12V 200Ah Lead Carbon Battery delivers 2,500+ cycles at 50% depth of discharge — strong partial-state-of-charge cycling performance for a VRLA battery in large-format stationary energy-storage applications. Cycle life is dependent on depth of discharge, charging profile, operating temperature, and maintenance practices. Shallower discharge depths deliver substantially more cycles than operation at full depth of discharge.

Compared with standard AGM batteries, the CLC200-12 is better suited to deeper cycling and partial-state-of-charge operation. In properly designed energy-storage systems, lead carbon technology can support deeper discharge profiles, up to 80% DoD where system design allows, while maintaining stronger cycle performance than conventional AGM batteries under demanding partial-state-of-charge conditions.

For solar and off-grid applications cycling daily at partial state of charge, lead carbon’s carbon-enhanced plates help reduce the sulfation that limits standard AGM battery life under these conditions. For telecom and remote infrastructure applications where the battery primarily operates on float standby and is discharged only during outages, the CLC200-12 is rated for a 20+ year design floating life at 20°C.
