Alarmtec BP series AGM battery 12V 2.3Ah

The Alarmtec BP series 12V 2.3Ah AGM battery is a maintenance-free power source designed for buffer and cyclic operation in alarm systems, emergency power supplies and small electronic installations. Made with AGM technology, it provides high reliability, leak-proof and safe use in 24/7 devices

Rated voltage of 12 V and capacity of 2.3 Ah (C20) for stable power supply backup.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology - electrolyte trapped in fiberglass separators, no leakage and the ability to operate in various positions.
Maintenance-free VRLA design with gas pressure regulating valves.
Designed for buffer and cyclic operation in control panels, cash registers, automation and emergency lighting systems.
Impact and vibration resistant plastic housing, long design life in buffer mode.
Standard Faston type terminals for quick installation and replacement.

Applications and modes of operation

The Alarmtec BP 12V 2.3Ah AGM battery is designed primarily for buffer operation, where it remains constantly charged and turns on automatically when the mains power fails. It is ideal for alarm panels, SSWiN systems, home automation, cash registers, telecommunications equipment and small UPSs. It can also be used in cyclic operation, such as in portable electronic devices or simple emergency lighting systems, provided that the recommended charging voltages and currents of expLoatation are adhered to

Design and safety

The battery is made with VRLA AGM technology - the electrolyte is absorbed in fiberglass separators, which eliminates the risk of leakage and allows use in various positions (except for pole-down operation). Safety valves regulate internal pressure, and a sealed housing made of impact- and vibration-resistant plastic increases resistance to harsh operating conditions. The maintenance-free design means no electrolyte top-ups and minimal service requirements, while maintaining proper charging parameters. The materials used and matched terminals ensure a stable electrical connection and safe expLoatation throughout the life of the battery

Electrical and expLoatation parameters

The battery is characterized by a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 2.3 Ah under reference conditions (usually at 20-hour discharge). For buffer operation, a charging voltage in the typical range for 12-volt AGM batteries is recommended, with charging current limitation due to low capacity - which protects against overcharging and overheating. In cyclic operation, a higher charging voltage is acceptable, but the manufacturer's recommendations must be strictly followed so as not to shorten the life of the cells. Matching the discharge current to the capacity of 2.3 Ah ensures the claimed backup time, and excessive current loads should be limited to short periods of emergency operation

FAQ (customer)

Q: Is this battery suitable for alarm control panels?
A: Yes, the Alarmtec BP 12V 2.3Ah AGM battery is designed specifically for alarm systems and other low-power backup appLications.
Q: Do I need to refill electrolyte or perform regular maintenance?
A: No, it is a maintenance-free VRLA AGM battery, so you do not refill electrolyte; only periodic voltage and connection checks are recommended.
Q: Can I use this battery in any position?
A: It can be used in various positions except upside down (with terminals facing downward), thanks to the sealed AGM construction.
Q: Is this battery good for cyclic use in portable devices?
A: It can be used cyclically, provided that charging voltage and current are matched to AGM requirements and its 2.3 Ah capacity.
Q: How long will it back up my device?
A: Backup time depends on the load current; lower consumption means longer autonomy from the 2.3 Ah capacity.
Q: Do I need a special charger?
A: You should use a charger designed for 12 V AGM VRLA batteries with appropriate charging voltage and limited current.

FAQ (expert)

Q: What is the recommended float charging voltage for this AGM battery?
A: Use the standard float range for 12 V AGM VRLA batteries (approx. 13.5–13.8 V at 25°C), adjusting for temperature according to typical AGM compensation.
Q: Can it operate in high-discharge appLications?
A: It is a small-capacity 2.3 Ah unit, so high discharge currents should be limited to short durations to avoid excessive voltage drop and premature ageing.
Q: What about temperature range for operation and storage?
A: AppLy typical AGM VRLA guidelines: moderate ambient temperatures are preferred, with storage at cool, dry conditions to preserve capacity.
Q: Is there any gas emission under normal conditions?
A: Under proper charging the VRLA design recombines gases internally, with valves only venting in overcharge or fault conditions.
Q: How should this battery be dimensioned in buffer systems?
A: Base sizing on required autonomy time, load current, and a safety margin, taking into account that actual usable capacity decreases with higher discharge rates and ageing.
Q: Are there constraints on parallel or series connection?
A: As with other VRLA AGM units, series/parallel use is possible with properly matched batteries (same type, age, and state of charge) and balanced charging.

Reviews
