Vision Lead-acid battery CP12170EX with 12V and 17Ah

The Vision CP12170EX is a high-quality, valve-regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) with a 12 volt nominal voltage and 17 Ah capacity. This reliable all-purpose battery is designed for long life in standby operation as well as for light cyclic demands. Equipped with maintenance-free AGM technology, this battery provides a safe and consistent power supply for a wide variety of applications, from emergency power supply in UPS systems to safety-critical alarm systems.

Highlights at a glance

• High capacity: 17 Ah at 12 V for a long-lasting and reliable power supply.
• Long service life: Designed for a life span of up to 5 years in standby operation (float) at 20 °C.
• Maintenance-free: Fully sealed AGM technology with efficient gas recombination makes maintenance unnecessary.
• High power density: Offers a lot of energy in a compact and widely used housing format.
• Flexible installation: Operation is possible in all positions except for permanent overhead use.
• Tested safety: Manufactured according to the highest quality standards, often with UL certification for use in safety-relevant equipment.

Strong performance for versatile applications

The Vision CP12170EX delivers a nominal capacity of 17 Ah with a 20-hour discharge. It is optimised as a general purpose battery for standby parallel operation, but is equally suitable for applications with 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 starting currents.

Robust technology for demanding environments

Thanks to VRLA technology (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) with AGM system (Absorbent Glass Mat), in which the electrolyte is completely bound in a glass fibre mat, the CP12170EX is absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof. This ensures safe operation even in sensitive electronic environments. The low self-discharge of less than 3% per month enables long storage with high readiness. The rugged ABS plastic housing offers excellent protection against shock and vibration.

FAQs about the Vision CP12170EX lead-acid battery

What applications is the CP12170EX suitable for?

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

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

Is the battery maintenance-free?

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

What is the service life of the CP12170EX?

The service life in standby operation (e.g. in a UPS system) is up to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, corresponding 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. Please compare the voltage (12V), capacity (17Ah), dimensions and connection type (M5 screw terminal) with your old battery before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

What charging parameters apply for this battery?

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

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

Maximum charge current: The charging current should not exceed 3.6 A in order not to affect the service life.

What does the M5 terminal type mean?

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