FIAMM FIT lead-acid battery 12V 40Ah (Eurobat Longlife 12+)

The FIAMM lead-acid battery of the FIT series is an ultra-modern and absolutely maintenance-free AGM battery with front terminal connections, developed for the highest demands on operational reliability and longevity in telecommunications and UPS applications. With a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 40 Ah, this accumulator is optimised for fail-safe emergency power supply in compact 19- and 23-inch system cabinets. The classification as "Longlife 12+" according to Eurobat confirms its exceptionally long service life of more than 12 years.

Highlights at a glance

• Front terminal design: For simple, quick and safe installation and maintenance in system cabinets.
• Maximum operational reliability: Developed for critical emergency power applications in UPS, telecommunications and data centres.
• Extremely long service life: Classified as "Longlife 12+" according to Eurobat for a service life of more than 12 years.
• Reliable AGM technology: Absolutely maintenance-free, leak-proof and with internal gas recombination.
• Space-saving design: Optimised dimensions for high energy density in standard racks.

Fail-safe energy for critical systems

The FIAMM FIT battery is the specialist for standby parallel operation (standby use), where immediate and reliable energy takeover in the event of mains failure is crucial. Its front connections make it the ideal solution for installation in telecommunications racks, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), data centres and other modular emergency power systems where simple installation and maintenance from the front are required.

Advanced Absorbent Glass Mat technology (AGM)

The advanced AGM technology (Absorbent Glass Mat), in which the electrolyte is completely bound in glass fibre mat, offers crucial advantages for standby applications. This makes the battery absolutely leak-proof and allows flexible installation in system cabinets. The special construction with high-quality lead-tin-calcium grids and the high internal gas recombination rate ensure very low self-discharge and enable a long service life in float charge operation.

Focus on longevity and economy

The FIAMM FIT series has been developed for maximum economy throughout its entire service life. The extremely long service life of more than 12 years significantly reduces the need for costly and time-consuming battery replacements in permanently installed systems. The front terminal design also reduces maintenance times, further lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) and guaranteeing reliable emergency power supply for more than a decade.

FAQs about the FIAMM FIT lead-acid battery

What does the "Eurobat Longlife 12+" classification mean?

Eurobat is the association of European battery manufacturers that classifies batteries according to their expected service life in standby operation. "Longlife 12+" means that this battery is designed for a service life of 12 years or more under defined conditions (usually 20°C ambient temperature and correct float charging).

What is the advantage of the "front terminal design"?

The terminal poles are mounted on the front of the battery instead of on the top. This makes installation and connection in narrow system cabinets (racks) much easier. In addition, voltage and resistance measurements during maintenance can be carried out quickly and safely from the front without having to remove the batteries from the rack.

Which charger or charging voltage is required?

As a rule, this battery is installed directly in a UPS system or an emergency power system which automatically regulates the charge. The recommended float charge voltage for continuous operation is typically 13.5V to 13.8V at 20°C. The use of incorrect charging voltage can drastically reduce the service life.

How must this lead-acid battery be disposed of?

Lead-acid batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge to any dealer that sells new batteries or to municipal recycling centres to ensure proper recycling.
