AGM ALARMTEC BP series 12V 1.2Ah battery

The AGM ALARMTEC BP Series 12V 1.2Ah battery is a maintenance-free power source designed for alarm systems, voltage backup devices and electronics requiring a stable 12-volt voltage. AGM technology design ensures high reliability, high number of buffer cycles and increased safety of use

Nominal voltage of 12 V for compatibility with most control panels and low-voltage devices.
Capacity of 1.2 Ah to support smaller systems and electronic modules.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology for leak-proof, no electrolyte leakage and maintenance-free expLoatation.
VRLA design with safety valve for safe operation in any position.
Designed for buffer and cyclic operation in alarm systems, automation and emergency power devices.
Compact size for easy installation in control panel enclosures, modules and small power supplies.

Purpose and applications

The AGM ALARMTEC BP Series 12V 1.2Ah battery is designed primarily for buffer operation in burglar alarm systems, control panels, notification modules and small UPS units. It can also be used in emergency power supply for automation, telemetry, telecommunication devices, cash registers, emergency lighting or other devices requiring short-term 12-volt backup. The maintenance-free design makes the battery suitable for all applications requiring continuous availability and no regular servicing

AGM design and technology

The battery uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, in which the electrolyte is absorbed in fiberglass separators, which prevents it from spilling out and allows for a sealed VRLA design. The casing is made of durable plastic resistant to typical expLoatation conditions, and safety valves allow for controlled discharge of gases produced during overcharging. As a result, the battery can be operated in any position (except when mounted with the terminals down) and does not require electrolyte replenishment. Low internal resistance and properly selected plate chemistry guarantee stable voltage, good discharge characteristics and long life in buffer operation

ExpLoatation and operating conditions

ALARMTEC BP 12V 1.2Ah battery is mainly designed for expLoatation in buffer mode, in which it is continuously recharged through a power supply with appropriately selected charging voltage and current. It is recommended to use a buffer charging voltage in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for AGM VRLA batteries, which reduces the phenomenon of gassing and extends the life. For cyclic operation, select a charger that provides control of charging current and voltage, and avoid deep discharge below the recommended voltage threshold. Proper expLoatation also includes keeping the battery within acceptable operating temperatures and periodically checking the resting voltage for extended storage periods

FAQ (customer)

Q: Is this battery suitable for my home alarm control panel?
A: Yes, the 12 V 1.2 Ah capacity is commonly used in smaller alarm control panels and modules, as long as your device specifies a 12 V AGM VRLA battery with similar capacity.
Q: How long will the battery keep my alarm system running during a power outage?
A: Backup time depends on the current draw of your system; for low-power alarm electronics it can support operation from several tens of minutes up to a few hours, but the exact time must be calculated from your device’s consumption.
Q: Do I need to add water or perform maintenance on this battery?
A: No, this is a sealed, maintenance-free AGM VRLA battery and does not require topping up with water during its service life.
Q: Can I install the battery in any orientation?
A: The battery can operate in various positions thanks to AGM technology, but it should not be installed with the terminals facing downward.
Q: What charger should I use for this battery?
A: Use a charger or power suppLy designed for 12 V AGM VRLA batteries, with correct float or cyclic charging voltage and limited charging current according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Q: How often should I repLace this battery in my alarm system?
A: In typical float use in alarm systems, repLacement is often recommended every few years, depending on operating temperature and charging conditions, and after noticeable reduction in backup time.

FAQ (expert)

Q: What is the recommended float charging voltage for this AGM VRLA battery?
A: The battery should be charged with a float voltage typical for 12 V AGM VRLA units (approximately 13.5–13.8 V at 25°C), in line with Alarmtec’s technical guidelines.
Q: Is the battery optimized primarily for float or deep cycling appLications?
A: The design is primarily oriented toward float operation in alarm and standby power systems, with the possibility of limited cyclic use when correctly charged.
Q: What are the impLications of operating the battery outside the recommended temperature range?
A: Elevated temperatures accelerate grid corrosion and water loss, reducing service life, while low temperatures decrease available capacity and discharge performance.
Q: Can this battery be used in parallel or series strings in larger systems?
A: It can be connected in series or parallel provided that identical units of the same age and state of charge are used, with proper balancing and protection.
Q: How should storage be handled to minimize self-discharge and sulphation?
A: Store the battery fully charged in a cool, dry environment and top up the charge periodically according to AGM VRLA storage recommendations to prevent deep self-discharge.
Q: Are there specific constraints on rippLe current from the charger in alarm systems?
A: Yes, rippLe current should be limited to levels acceptable for small AGM VRLA batteries, as excessive rippLe can increase heating, gas evolution and shorten service life.

Reviews
