Lead Acid Battery LP26-12 12V 26A made in Malaysian

Description

The LP26-12 (12V 26Ah) is a heavy-duty, rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery utilizing AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. While often labeled “12V 26A,” the “A” in this context refers to Ampere-Hours (Ah), which is the measure of the battery’s capacity, not a current rating.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 12V

• Nominal Capacity: 26Ah (at 20-hour rate)

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

• Typical Dimensions: Approximately 166mm x 175mm x 125mm (Length x Width x Height).

• Weight: Approximately 7.8kg – 9.4kg (varies by brand and internal construction).

• Terminal Type: Typically M5 or M6 Nut & Bolt (occasionally labeled as F3 terminals).

Key Features

• High Energy Capacity: Suitable for applications requiring longer runtime than standard small-format batteries.

• Maintenance-Free: Sealed design eliminates the need for water or electrolyte refilling.

• Safety: Incorporates a pressure-relief valve for gas recombination and spill-proof operation.

• Durability: Robust ABS plastic casing provides high resistance to shock and vibration.

• Reliability: Engineered for a stable discharge curve, making it ideal for critical backup power.

Typical Applications

Due to its larger size and capacity, this battery is commonly used for:

• UPS Systems: Backup for medium-to-large home or office workstations and server equipment.

• Electric Mobility: Often found in electric wheelchairs, medical carts, and small electric scooters.

• Emergency Power: Backup for security alarm control panels and large-scale emergency lighting arrays.

• Solar/Off-Grid: Storage for small 12V solar lighting setups or camping power packs.

Important Maintenance & Selection Tips

Note on Compatibility: If you are replacing a battery, the physical dimensions are critical. Even among “26Ah” batteries, the arrangement of length/width/height can vary slightly between manufacturers. Always measure your battery compartment before purchasing.

• Charging: Use a charger compatible with AGM/SLA batteries.

  • Standby/Float Voltage: 13.5V – 13.8V.

  • Cycle Use Voltage: 14.4V – 15.0V.

• Deep Discharge Warning: Do not allow the battery to drop below 10.5V. Regularly discharging to very low levels will significantly reduce its total lifespan.

• Storage: If stored for long periods, perform a “freshening charge” every 3–6 months to prevent internal sulfation.

• Terminal Connections: This battery typically uses bolt-on terminals. Ensure the bolts are tightened securely during installation to prevent heating from poor contact.
