PS-12180

The PS-12180 is part of our General Purpose SLA range. This 12.0V and 18.0Ah battery provides dependable power for general purpose and standby uses. Features include AGM Technology, Gas Recombination, Power Volume Ratio, SLA ABS Case, and SLA Maintenance Free. These batteries are commonly used in Emergency Lighting, Fire Security, General Purpose, Medical, Signaling (Air,Rail,Sea), Solar, Telecomm, UPS, Utility, and Wind requiring reliable, light cyclic backup power. Backed by decades of expertise, Power-Sonic batteries are subject to stringent quality controls through each step of the manufacturing process to ensure compliance, performance consistency, and reliability.

Product Group Information

Versatile sealed lead acid batteries specifically engineered for use in general purpose float and light cyclic applications including fire and security systems, emergency lighting, UPS, toys and medical devices.

Long Term Storage Information

PS series batteries may be stored for up to 6 months at 25C (77 F) and then a freshening charge is required. For higher temperatures the time interval will be shorter

Cycle Applications: Apply constant voltage charge at 2.35VPC 2.45VPC (14.1 to 14.7 volts for 12V Monobloc) at 20°C. The initial charging current should be set at less than C/5 Amps. Switch to oat charge when the current falls to a 3% capacity rate to avoid overcharging. Stand-By or "Float" Service: Apply constant voltage charge of 2.25VPC 2.30VPC (13.5 to 13.8 volts for 12V Monobloc) at 20°C. When held at this voltage, the battery will seek its own current level and maintain itself in a fully charged condition. Temperature Compensation: Charging voltage for both cyclic and stand-by applications should be regulated in relation to ambient temperature. As temperature rises, charging voltage should be reduced to prevent overcharge and increased as the temperature falls to avoid undercharge. For further charging information, including temperature compensation factors, see the Power-Sonic Technical Manual.
