Product details
The BP12-6 belongs to the B.B. Battery BP series and is a 6 V maintenance free lead-acid battery with a nominal capacity of 12 Ah at the 20-hour rate. It uses an impact-resistant ABS case, and the cover is firmly joined to the case so the terminal area stays sealed. The standard terminal is type T1, and type T2 is available as an option, giving users flexible connection choices. The filling holes in the cover are used to add electrolyte during production, after which a pressure relief valve made of non-combustible material is installed together with a flame arrestor integrated in each cell, raising fire and explosion safety.
In technical terms, the internal resistance of the BP12-6 is as low as 9 milliohms at full charge, the maximum discharge current reaches 180 amperes for 5 seconds, and the maximum charge current is 3.6 amperes. During charging the operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C, during discharge the battery handles -20°C to 50°C, and the storage temperature range is -20°C to 40°C. The physical dimensions are 151 mm in length, 50 mm in width, 94 mm in height, and 100 mm in total height, and the weight is about 1.98 kg. The case material is standard ABS (UL94 HB), and flame-retardant ABS (UL94 V-0) is also offered as an option under the model designation BP12-6FR.
The BP12-6 is maintenance free, needs no topping up, has a leak-proof structure, and contains no free electrolyte. Its self-discharge rate stays below 3% per month, so it retains capacity for long periods in storage. The battery supports both horizontal and vertical installation and comes with carrying handles for easier handling. Under the Eurobat standard, BP series batteries reach an expected service life of 8 to 10 years under normal operating conditions. The BP12-6 is especially recommended for systems that require 30 minutes or more of backup time. It suits low-power uninterruptible power supply systems, fire and security alarm systems, emergency lighting, surveillance systems, access control systems, and medical equipment. It is also widely used in power supply networks, the power industry, mining, oil and gas, rural properties, hotels and shops, and it can serve as a power pack for remote-controlled vehicles and aircraft as well as a supply for laboratory equipment. Its discharge characteristics are tested at 25°C and provide constant current discharge data from 5 minutes to 20 hours at various end voltages.
