Re: What is it?
It is a marine unit by the way and the bladder pressure needs to be rechecked at least every year for proper pressure. Just like the tires on your car, rubber is not air tight and does allow air to pass decreasing the pressure with time eventually rendering the unit useless if the pressure is not topped off regularly. Best time would be pre-launch every season. Your unit is most likely 8 litres which is at least 5 times the little plastic ones which all seem to be around 0.75L
Here is a link to a few at Defender. https://www.defender.com/search.html?q=accumulator
