Yes, the Vision CP1270F2 is one of the most common replacement batteries. Please compare before purchase the voltage (12V), the capacity (7Ah), the dimensions and especially the connection type (Faston 6.35 mm) with your old battery to ensure compatibility.

Which 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 2.1 A in order to maximise the service life of the battery.

What service life does the CP1270F2 have?

The service life in standby mode (for example in an alarm system) is up to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. This corresponds to the EUROBAT category "Standard Commercial".
