LP10-6 6V 10AH made in Malaysia

Description

The LP6-10 (6V 10Ah) is a standard Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery using AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. While “LP” often designates the “Long Life” or “Multi-purpose” series for various brands, this specific 6V 10Ah configuration is an industry-standard size.

Product Overview

This battery is designed for reliability in both standby (backup) and cyclic applications. The “Sealed” construction means it is maintenance-free, spill-proof, and can be mounted in any orientation (except upside down).

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 6V

• Nominal Capacity: 10Ah (at a 20-hour rate)

• Technology: VRLA / AGM

• Typical Dimensions: Approximately 151mm x 50mm x 94mm (Height to terminal top can be ~100mm).

• Terminal Type: Typically F1 (0.187″ / 4.75mm) quick-disconnect spade terminals.

• Approximate Weight: ~1.5kg – 1.9kg (varies slightly by manufacturer construction).

Key Features

• Maintenance-Free: No water or electrolyte refilling required.

• Safety: Features a one-way pressure-relief valve to prevent gas buildup.

• Low Self-Discharge: Suitable for backup systems where the battery may remain idle for months before being needed.

• Vibration Resistant: Robust ABS plastic casing protects the internal lead plates from mechanical shock.

Typical Applications

• Alarm & Security: Primary backup power for residential and commercial security control panels.

• Emergency Lighting: Essential for exit signs and emergency floodlights.

• UPS Systems: Used in small-to-medium backup power supplies for routers, modems, or telecommunications equipment.

• Medical/Industrial: Powering portable diagnostic devices, electronic testing tools, or weighing scales.

Important Maintenance Notes

Pro-Tip: If your battery is labeled “LP6-10,” it is fully compatible with any other 6V 10Ah battery (e.g., models like NP10-6, WP10-6, etc.), provided the physical dimensions and terminal type (F1) match your specific device.

• Charging: Use a dedicated 6V SLA/AGM charger. A typical float voltage for standby use is 6.75V to 6.90V, while cycle use (charging after a full drain) should typically go up to 7.20V – 7.50V.

• Avoid “Total Discharge”: These batteries perform best if you do not allow them to drain completely. If the device stops working, remove the battery or turn it off to prevent permanent damage from “deep cycling.”

• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. If you are storing it for more than 3 months, give it a “freshening charge” to maintain its health and ensure it remains ready for use.
