Description
For a battery named 100, the Leoch LDC12-100 performs well when it is pushed. It is rated 100Ah at 20 hours and still gives 89Ah at 5 hours and 80Ah at 3 hours, a retention of roughly 89 percent at the 5-hour rate. That is better than most of the larger 12V LDC units, so for daily-shift work it is more capable than the nameplate suggests.
The detail to check is the terminal: T6 (M6), the smallest hardware in this group of 12V models. Cables, lugs and any bus connectors sized for M8 posts will not fit without changes. Reserve capacity is 192 minutes at 25A and 65 minutes at 56A.
It shares a 260 by 168 mm footprint with the LDC12-90-G24-T, but that model has 15Ah less at 20 hours and 16Ah less at 5 hours. You pay 5 lbs for the difference (56.9 lbs against 51.8 lbs), and the case is ABS. Charge it between 0 and 40°C.
