Description
Compare the Leoch LDC12-150-GC12 with the LDC12-145 and a pattern appears: on paper they are nearly the same battery, yet the 150 pulls ahead as soon as you discharge faster. At the 20-hour rate the gap is only 2Ah (150 against 148), but at 5 hours it is 136Ah against 122Ah. For machines that draw hard through a shift rather than trickling for a day, that 5-hour figure is the more honest number to shop on.
It also manages this in a squatter case: 12.87 by 7.09 inches and 10.79 inches tall, versus 11.26 inches over the terminals on the 145. Weight is essentially a tie at 93.0 lbs. Reserve capacity runs 323 minutes at 25A, 120 minutes at 56A and 90 minutes at 75A, and the terminals are T11 (M8).
Because this is a single 12V block, a 24V machine needs two of them and a 36V machine three, which keeps cabling simple compared with a bank of 6V units. The drawback is that each block is a 93-pound, one-piece replacement.
