Product details
As a representative model of the B.B. Battery VRLA BC series, BC18-12 is a 12 volt maintenance free lead-acid battery. Its nominal capacity reaches 18Ah at the 20-hour rate, giving stable power support to systems that need dependable standby energy. The case is made of sturdy, impact-resistant ABS plastic for good physical protection. The cover is tightly joined to the case and the terminal area is specially sealed to prevent electrolyte leakage, which achieves a safe no free acid (leak-proof battery) design and means the user never has to add water. The standard terminal is a B1 terminal, and optional T2 or I1 terminals can be supplied to suit different installation and connection requirements.
In its internal construction, the positive and negative plates of BC18-12 are coated with a special paste active material and use absorbent glass mat (AGM) technology. This technology recombines internal oxygen efficiently, turning the gas produced back into water, which significantly reduces electrolyte loss and makes the battery sealed and maintenance free. The pressure relief valve on the top is made of non-combustible material and releases internal pressure safely under abnormal conditions, providing a high level of fire and explosion protection.
The battery has a compact design, with overall dimensions of 181 mm (about 7.13 inches) in length, 76 mm (about 2.99 inches) in width and 166 mm (about 6.54 inches) in height, and a total weight of about 5.62 kg (12.39 lb). Its robust construction allows installation horizontally or vertically (inverted position not allowed), which gives great flexibility for the internal layout of equipment.
BC18-12 is well suited as backup power for low power uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and is especially recommended where 30 minutes or more of backup time is required. Its stable output also makes it a good choice for fire and security alarm systems, emergency lighting systems, security monitoring systems and access control systems. It is also widely used in medical equipment, fishing lights, video cameras (VCR) and similar electronic devices, and can even serve as auxiliary power for electric vehicles. Under normal conditions of use, BC series batteries offer an expected service life of 5 to 7 years, and with a wide capacity range of 4.5 to 230Ah, the B.B. Battery BC series can meet a variety of standby and cyclic application needs from light to medium loads, providing lasting and reliable power for critical equipment.
