Alarmtec BP series 12V 12Ah AGM battery

The Alarmtec BP 12V 12Ah series AGM battery is a maintenance-free power source designed for buffer and cyclic operation in security systems, emergency power supplies and consumer electronics devices. Made with AGM technology, it provides high tightness, safety expLoatation and stable performance over a wide temperature range

Nominal voltage of 12 V and capacity of 12 Ah for reliable power backup.
Maintenance-free VRLA AGM design with fully sealed housing.
Adapted for buffer and cyclic operation in alarm systems, UPS and automation.
High durability and resistance to deeper discharges with proper expLoatation.
Can be installed in various positions due to a design that does not require electrolyte replenishment.

Application and purpose of the Alarmtec BP 12V 12Ah battery

Alarmtec BP 12V 12Ah series AGM battery is designed primarily for emergency power supply in alarm panels, burglar alarm systems, gate automation, small UPS and other devices that require a stable 12 V voltage. It can operate both in buffer mode, providing constant power backup, and in cyclic mode, where it is repeatedly charged and discharged. Thanks to AGM technology, it is also used in cash registers, telecommunications equipment, emergency lighting and small industrial automation. The VRLA design allows installation indoors without the need for special ventilation, as long as the manufacturer's temperature and charging recommendations are followed

AGM design and technology

The Alarmtec BP series battery uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, in which the electrolyte is absorbed in glass mat separators. This solution ensures high tightness of the design, minimizes the risk of leakage and allows operation in different positions. Safety valves regulate internal pressure, which allows the battery to be classified as VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid). The casing is made of durable plastic resistant to typical conditions expLoatation in safety systems, and the terminals are adapted to securely connect the power cables. Optimized design of lead plates and appropriately selected electrolyte composition influence the achievement of stable voltage-current parameters and limit self-discharge during storage

ExpLoatation, charging and durability

In order to achieve the claimed life of the Alarmtec BP 12V 12Ah battery, it is necessary to use the recommended charging parameters and expLoat the device in the appropriate temperature range. In buffer operation, it is important to maintain the correct holding voltage, which reduces plate corrosion and extends the service life. In cycling mode, it is recommended to avoid deep discharges and use proper charging currents adapted to the capacity of 12 Ah. The battery should also be regularly recharged during periods of prolonged non-use to minimize the effects of self-discharge. The manufacturer anticipates, if all conditions of expLoatation are met, many years of operation in typical security and automation system applications

A: Yes, it can be used in various positions except with the terminals facing downward.
Q: How often should the battery be charged if not in regular use?
A: It should be recharged periodically according to VRLA AGM storage recommendations to avoid deep discharge.
Q: Is this battery appropriate for a small UPS?
A: It can be used in small UPS units that require a 12 V 12 Ah VRLA AGM battery, provided the charger parameters are compatible.
Q: Can I repLace my old 12 V 7 Ah battery with this one?
A: Only if your device has enough space for a 12 Ah unit and the charging system supports the higher capacity.

FAQ (expert)

Q: What charging voltage is recommended for float operation of this battery?
A: Use standard VRLA AGM float voltage for 12 V blocks as specified by Alarmtec for the BP series.
Q: Is the battery optimized more for float or cyclic appLications?
A: It is suitable for both, but typical use is float operation in security and backup systems.
Q: What is the expected design life under nominal float conditions?
A: The design life corresponds to typical VRLA AGM BP-series performance when operated within the recommended temperature and voltage ranges.
Q: Are there any restrictions on using this battery in parallel or series strings?
A: It can be connected in series or parallel according to standard VRLA practice, using matched batteries and appropriate balancing and protection.
Q: What is the recommended maximum discharge depth for good cycle life?
A: To extend cycle life, deep discharges should be minimized and the depth of discharge kept within typical VRLA AGM limits.
Q: Does the casing meet any specific flame-retardant standards?
A: The enclosure follows the material specification defined for the Alarmtec BP series; consult the official datasheet for exact flame-retardant classification.
