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

Description

The PS12-12 (12V 12Ah) is a professional-grade Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery utilizing AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology. This model is widely used in both standby (backup) and cyclic applications and is commonly manufactured in facilities throughout Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

Product Specifications

• Nominal Voltage: 12V

• Nominal Capacity: 12Ah (at 20-hour rate)

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

• Dimensions: Approximately 151mm (L) x 98mm (W) x 95mm (H) (Total height with terminals is typically ~101mm).

• Weight: Approximately 3.2kg – 3.3kg.

• Terminal Type: Typically T2 (Faston 250), which is a 6.35mm wide spade terminal.

Key Features

• Maintenance-Free: Sealed construction eliminates the need for water or electrolyte maintenance.

• Versatile Mounting: Due to the immobilized electrolyte design, it can be mounted in any orientation (except upside down).

• Safety: Incorporates a one-way pressure-relief valve for gas recombination, preventing pressure buildup.

• Reliability: High energy density and consistent power delivery make it suitable for sensitive electronic gear.

• Design Life: Typically rated for 5 years of service in float/standby applications at 25°C.

Typical Applications

This battery size is a common standard for mid-range power needs:

• UPS Systems: Reliable backup power for workstations, home routers, and small servers.

• Security & Alarm Systems: Primary or secondary power source for control panels, CCTV systems, and sirens.

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

• Medical Equipment: Powering portable diagnostic monitors and infusion pumps.

• Mobility: Often used in pairs or series for electric scooters, e-bikes, and motorized wheelchairs.

• Solar/Off-Grid: Small-scale energy storage for lighting and communication devices.

Important Maintenance & Selection Tips

Note: “PS12-12” is a generic industry model number. While it often corresponds to the standard 151mm x 98mm footprint, always measure your current battery compartment before purchase, as slight variations (±2mm) between brands can occur.

• Charging: Use a charger compatible with AGM/SLA batteries. For standby/float use, a voltage of 13.6V to 13.8V is recommended. For cyclic use (recharging after a full drain), the voltage should be 14.5V to 14.9V.

• Preventing Damage:

  • Avoid Deep Discharge: Do not allow the battery to drop below 10.5V. Constant deep cycling reduces the overall lifespan significantly.

  • Storage: If the battery will be stored for more than 3 months, ensure it is fully charged before storage and provide a “freshening charge” every 3–6 months to prevent internal sulfation.

• Connections: Ensure the spade connectors are clean and tight. Corrosion on terminals can lead to high resistance, which causes heating and can damage the plastic housing.
