Product details
The BPS17-12 from B.B. Battery is a high-quality valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery belonging to the BPS series. Batteries in this series are produced in 12-volt monobloc form with a broad capacity range, from 5Ah to 230Ah, capable of meeting the power needs of different application scenarios. The battery case of the BPS17-12 model is made of sturdy, durable, opaque, impact-resistant ABS plastic, ensuring the structural integrity of the battery during transport and use. The battery cover is firmly connected to the case, and the terminal area is carefully sealed to effectively prevent electrolyte leakage; the Terminal Type varies according to the specific series and model. For example, the BPS17-12 comes standard with a B1 terminal (suitable for M5 bolts and nuts), while T2 and I1 terminals are also available as optional configurations, providing users with flexible connection options.
This battery is designed with full consideration of safety and reliability. The battery cover has six filling holes, used during production to fill the electrolyte, after which pressure relief valves made of non-flammable material are installed. This pressure relief valve design ensures a high level of fire and explosion safety for the battery under abnormal conditions. Inside the battery, absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology achieves efficient gas recombination, making it a truly Maintenance Free battery that requires no regular water addition. At the same time, the battery has no free acid liquid and meets non-spillable standards, so it can be safely installed in horizontal or vertical positions (inverted use prohibited), offering great convenience for equipment installation.
In terms of technical performance, the nominal voltage of the BPS17-12 battery is 12 volts. Its Nominal Capacity is 17.0Ah at the 20-hour rate (end voltage 1.75V/cell), 16.15Ah at the 10-hour rate, and 14.45Ah at the 5-hour rate, demonstrating stable discharge performance. The internal resistance of the battery is approximately 16 milliohms at full charge, the maximum discharge current can reach 255 amperes within 5 seconds, and the maximum charging current is 5.1 amperes. Its operating temperature range is wide: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) during charging, -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) during discharge, and -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) for storage, adapting to various environmental conditions. The battery's monthly self-discharge rate is extremely low, below 3% of capacity, allowing it to maintain sufficient charge during long-term standby.
The BPS17-12 battery has compact dimensions: length approximately 181 mm (7.13 inches), width approximately 76 mm (2.99 inches), container height and total height both 166 mm (6.54 inches), and Weight approximately 6.15 kg (13.56 lbs), making it easy to integrate into various devices. The initial torque requirements for terminal hardware (B1 and I1) are clearly specified at 2.5Nm±5% and 4.0Nm±5% respectively, ensuring firm and reliable connections. Users can also choose a case material with flame-retardant properties (UL94 V-0 grade), model BPS17-12FR, providing additional protection for application scenarios with higher fire safety requirements.
The discharge characteristics of this battery have been tested in detail at 25°C (77°F), providing current and power data tables at different end voltages (from 1.60V to 1.80V) and discharge times (from 5 minutes to 20 hours), facilitating engineers in precise power system design and backup time calculation. For example, at an end voltage of 1.75V, the average current for a 30-minute discharge is approximately 224 amperes.
B.B. Battery batteries in the BPS series are ideal power solutions for many critical applications due to their outstanding reliability. They are particularly suitable for occasions requiring 30 minutes or more of backup time. Typical application areas include low-power uninterruptible power supply systems, fire and security alarm systems, emergency lighting and surveillance systems, access control systems, and various medical devices. In addition, they can provide reliable power support for power supply networks, the power industry, mining, oil and gas, telecommunication facilities, rural estates, and hotel, restaurant and shop equipment. In the field of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy storage systems, as well as some electric vehicle applications, they can also play an important role. With an expected service life of more than 12 years (classified as a long-life battery according to the Eurobat standard), the BPS17-12 provides users with lasting value and a high degree of operational assurance.
