Powerful performance for demanding applications
Thanks to its robust construction and consistent current output, the XP12-12F2 is suitable for a wide range of applications: from safety-critical systems and telecommunications to medical equipment. The Faston connectors (6.3 mm) enable seamless integration into existing setups. Even during short-term load peaks, the battery reliably delivers power with a discharge current of up to 180 A for 5 seconds.
Efficient energy and reliable service life
AGM technology ensures maintenance-free operation and high reliability. With a float life of up to 5 years (at 25 °C), the battery is characterised by low self-discharge of less than 3% per month, meaning it is ready for immediate use even after prolonged storage. It also impresses with good performance at extreme temperatures ranging from -15 °C (charging) to +60 °C (discharging).
Technology for industrial and safety-critical applications
The XP12-12F2 features a flame-retardant ABS housing (in accordance with UL94-HB/UL94-V0) and complies with international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. The charging voltage is 2.25 – 2.30 V/cell (equivalent to 13.5 – 13.8 V) in standby mode and 2.45 – 2.50 V/cell (equivalent to 14.7 – 15.0 V) in cycle mode at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Automatic temperature compensation of –3 to –4 mV/°C/cell is integrated.
