BP serie AGM ALARMTEC accu 12V 2.3Ah

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.
