The 12 V, 274 Ah Ritar RA12-260A battery from the RA range with AGM technology is designed for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid. Its 520 × 268 × 225 mm make it the exact replacement for the 274 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorhomes and caravans.

  • Direct replacement for the original leisure battery.
  • Recharges from the alternator, a solar panel or a mains charger.
  • Withstands daily discharges throughout the season.
  • AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.

What the Ritar RA12-260A is for

As a leisure battery, the Ritar RA12-260A is discharged and recharged every travelling day; avoid discharges below 50% to extend its life. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 70 kg and M8 terminals.

The Ritar RA12-260A: RA range and AGM technology

Within the Ritar catalogue, the RA series groups the references designed for this use. The RA12-260A is the 274 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Ritar RA12-260A is made in the 520 × 268 × 225 mm format and weighs 70 kg. It uses M8 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

Why choose Ritar batteries

Ritar is one of the world's largest VRLA battery manufacturers. Its RA, RT, RL, HR and FT series equip UPS, telecoms and solar systems worldwide with very consistent quality. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty.

Care and maintenance

Avoid routinely discharging the leisure battery below 50% and recharge it fully after every trip. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.

Official warranty

The Ritar RA12-260A comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered.

Shipping, delivery and returns

Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ritar RA12-260A an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The RA12-260A from Ritar uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for caravans with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.

How much energy does this battery give a caravan?

It stores about 3,288 Wh. To make it last, it should not be discharged below half, so you have about 1,644 Wh usable: for example, an average load of 50 W for about 33 hours.

Can it be charged with solar panels?

Yes, with a charge controller (PWM or MPPT) set for AGM. It can also be charged by the vehicle alternator (ideally with a DC-DC charger) and by the 230 V charger when you are on hook-up at the campsite.

What size is this battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 520×268×225 mm — also written as 520x268x225 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your caravan before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
