Mighty Max ML100-12 Group 27 review

A UL-certified 12 V 100 Ah sealed AGM battery that mounts in any position, sold by Amazon at $169.99, the cheapest lead-acid option here.

The basic option

The Mighty Max ML100-12 is a 12 V 100 Ah sealed lead-acid battery with AGM separators and a valve-regulated design. It is UL certified, maintenance-free and spill-proof, and can be mounted in any position. At $169.99, sold by Amazon.com, it is the cheapest 100 Ah lead-acid battery on this shelf.

A thin listing

The bullets describe a high discharge rate, wide operating temperatures and deep discharge recovery, without a single number to back them. Renogy gives a -4 to 140 °F range and a 1,100 A peak; UPLUS gives 710 A and 45 A continuous. Mighty Max gives neither.

The weight figure

The listing gives 28 lb. A 100 Ah lead-acid battery of 12.09 × 6.65 × 8.48 in cannot weigh that little: the Renogy AGM lists 63.9 lb and the UPG 60 lb at similar dimensions. Expect around 60 lb when you lift it.

What is in the box

The battery and its screws. No harness, no mounting hardware.

Yes. Mighty Max says it can be mounted in any position and resists shock and vibration.

Our score

8.0/ 10

A plain, UL-certified 100 Ah AGM battery at the lowest lead-acid price here. The listing is thin, and its weight figure is wrong or misleading.
