Lead Acid Battery PS12-7 12V 7A made in Malaysian

Description

The PS12-7 (12V 7Ah) is a widely used Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery utilizing AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. It is a standard “workhorse” battery for medium-duty backup applications.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 12V

• Nominal Capacity: 7Ah (often interchangeable with 7.2Ah variants)

• Technology: VRLA / AGM (Maintenance-free, spill-proof)

• Dimensions: Approximately 151mm (L) x 65mm (W) x 94mm (H) (Total height including terminals is usually ~100mm).

• Terminal Type: Typically F1 (4.75mm) or F2 (6.35mm) spade terminals.

• Weight: Approximately 2.0kg – 2.1kg.

Key Features

• Maintenance-Free: Sealed construction eliminates the need to add water.

• Versatile Mounting: Can be installed in any orientation (except upside down) thanks to its immobilized electrolyte.

• High Reliability: Designed for consistent, stable power delivery in both float (standby) and cyclic (charge/discharge) service.

• Durability: Housed in high-impact ABS plastic to resist shock and vibration.

Common Applications

• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Standard backup for small office and home networking gear.

• Security Systems: Backup power for alarm panels, CCTV, and sensors.

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

• Medical & Industrial: Used in portable monitors, testing equipment, and automated sensors.

Maintenance & Best Practices

Crucial Tip: The #1 cause of premature battery failure is “sulfation” caused by leaving the battery in a discharged state. Always recharge the battery promptly after use.

• Charging: Use a smart charger compatible with AGM/SLA batteries. For standby/float use, a voltage of 13.5V to 13.8V is standard.

• Depth of Discharge (DoD): To maximize service life, try to avoid discharging the battery below 50% of its capacity.

• Storage: If storing for long periods, ensure the battery is fully charged before storage and check the voltage every 3–6 months. If it drops, give it a “freshening charge.”

• Terminal Care: Ensure your spade connectors are tight and free of corrosion. If you see white powdery buildup, clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water, then dry thoroughly.

• Physical Fit: Even though “PS12-7” is a standard designation, always measure your battery compartment to ensure the 151mm x 65mm x 94mm dimensions fit your specific device.
