Product details
As a representative model of the B.B. Battery VRLA battery BC series, BC18-12 is a 12-volt Maintenance Free lead-acid battery. Its Nominal Capacity reaches 18Ah at the 20-hour rate, providing stable power support for various systems that require reliable backup power. The battery case is made of sturdy impact-resistant ABS plastic, ensuring good physical protection. The battery cover is tightly connected to the case, and the terminal area is specially sealed to effectively prevent electrolyte leakage, achieving a no free acid safety design so that users do not need routine water topping-up maintenance. The Terminal Type offers the standard B1 terminal, and optional terminals such as T2 or I1 can also be selected according to customer requirements to suit different installation and connection needs.
In terms of internal structure, both the positive and negative plates of BC18-12 are coated with special paste active material and use Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. This technology efficiently performs internal oxygen recombination, converting the generated gas back into water, thereby significantly reducing electrolyte loss and achieving a sealed, Maintenance Free battery. The pressure relief valve at the top is made of non-combustible material and can safely release internal pressure under abnormal conditions, providing a high level of fire and explosion protection.
This battery has a compact design, with external dimensions of 181 mm (approximately 7.13 inches) in length, 76 mm (approximately 2.99 inches) in width, and 166 mm (approximately 6.54 inches) in height, and a total Weight of approximately 5.62 kg (12.39 lbs). Its sturdy structure allows installation in horizontal or vertical orientation (inverted installation is prohibited), providing great flexibility for the spatial layout inside equipment.
BC18-12 is very suitable as backup power for low-power uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and is especially recommended for scenarios requiring 30 minutes or more of backup time. Its stable output characteristics make it an ideal choice for fire and security alarm systems, emergency lighting systems, security surveillance systems, and access control systems. At the same time, it is also widely used in medical equipment, fishing lights, video cameras (VCR) and other electronic devices, and can even serve as auxiliary power for electric vehicles. Under normal operating conditions, the expected service life of BC series batteries can reach 5 to 7 years. Combined with its wide capacity range of 4.5 to 230Ah, the B.B. Battery BC series can meet various backup and cyclic application needs from light to medium loads, providing durable and reliable power protection for critical equipment.
