Reliable energy for critical applications
The XCELL XP18-12 is the ideal energy solution for systems where reliability is paramount. With its standard dimensions of 181 x 77 x 167 mm and a weight of approximately 5.4 kg, it can be easily integrated as a replacement for existing batteries in a wide variety of devices. Its primary areas of application include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), security and alarm systems, emergency lighting systems as well as applications in medical and rehabilitation technology. The wide operating temperature range ensures stable performance even under demanding environmental conditions.
Efficiency and safety thanks to AGM technology
The AGM technology of the XCELL XP18-12 binds the electrolyte in a glass fibre fleece. This design not only prevents acid leakage, but also provides high vibration resistance and excellent cycle resistance compared to conventional lead-acid batteries. As there is no gassing under normal operating conditions, the battery can be safely used indoors and in housings without special ventilation. This maximises user safety and reduces maintenance to a minimum.
Proven and robust lead AGM technology
In contrast to open lead-acid batteries, the XP18-12 is valve-regulated and sealed thanks to its VRLA design (Valve Regulated Lead Acid). This enables internal gas recombination and ensures consistently high performance throughout its entire service life. The lead calcium grid plates used contribute to a very low self-discharge rate, making the battery perfect for standby operation or for applications with longer periods of inactivity.

FAQs about the XCELL lead battery XP18-12
What does the term AGM mean?
AGM stands for "Absorbent Glass Mat". In this technology, the battery electrolyte is bound in a fleece made of glass fibres. This makes the battery leak-proof, maintenance-free and very resistant to vibration.
For which applications is the XP18-12 battery suitable?
The battery is ideally suited for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), alarm systems, fire alarm control panels, emergency lighting systems as well as medical and rehabilitation equipment such as patient lifts or electric wheelchairs.
What is the expected service life of the battery?
The XCELL XP18-12 is designed for a service life of up to 5 years in standby operation (standby) according to the Eurobat classification. The actual service life depends heavily on the application, operating temperature and depth of discharge.
Can several XP18-12 batteries be connected together?
Yes, you can connect several batteries of this type together. For a higher voltage (e.g. 24 V) connect two batteries in series. For higher capacity, connect the batteries in parallel. Please only use batteries of the same type, age and state of charge.
Is the battery actually maintenance-free?
Yes, thanks to the sealed VRLA AGM design, the battery is completely maintenance-free. Refilling with distilled water is not required during the entire service life.
How should the battery be stored when not in use?
Store the battery in a cool, dry place and ensure that it is fully charged. Due to the low self-discharge, the state of charge should be checked every six months and the battery recharged if necessary to avoid deep discharge.
