Powerful performance for versatile applications

The Vision CP12170EX delivers a rated capacity of 17 Ah at a 20-hour discharge rate. It is optimised as a general-purpose battery for standby parallel operation, but is equally suitable for applications involving occasional charge and discharge cycles. With its low internal resistance, the battery is capable of delivering high currents even for short periods, making it an ideal choice for UPS systems, emergency lighting and other systems with high inrush currents.

Robust technology for demanding environments

Thanks to VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) technology with an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) system, in which the electrolyte is completely bound within a glass fibre mat, the CP12170EX is completely maintenance-free and leak-proof. This ensures safe operation even in sensitive electronic environments. The low self-discharge rate of less than 3 % per month allows for long-term storage whilst maintaining high operational readiness. The robust ABS plastic casing offers excellent protection against shocks and vibrations.

FAQs on the Vision CP12170EX lead-acid battery

For which applications is the CP12170EX suitable?

The battery is ideal for a wide range of standby and light cyclic applications:

• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Security and alarm technology
• Fire alarm systems (FAS)
• Emergency lighting
• Medical devices
• Telecommunications equipment

Is the battery maintenance-free?

Yes, thanks to sealed AGM technology, the battery is completely maintenance-free. No top-up of distilled water is required and it is protected against leakage.

What is the service life of the CP12170EX?

The service life in standby mode (e.g. in a UPS system) is up to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, which corresponds to the EUROBAT category ‘Standard Commercial’.

Can this battery replace an old battery in my UPS system?

Yes, the Vision CP12170EX is a very common replacement battery for many UPS systems. Before purchasing, please compare the voltage (12V), capacity (17Ah), dimensions and connection type (M5 screw connection) with your old battery to ensure compatibility.

What charging parameters apply to this battery?

Float charge: The recommended voltage at 20 °C is between 13.5 V and 13.8 V.

Cycle charge: For occasional cyclic charging, a voltage between 14.4 V and 15.0 V is recommended.

Maximum charging current: The charging current should not exceed 3.6 A so as not to affect the service life.

What does the M5 connection type mean?

M5 refers to the type of connection. It is a metric thread with a diameter of 5 mm. The cables are usually connected to this battery using screws, often with the aid of cable lugs, which ensures a very secure and firm connection.
