Product details
BC18-12 is a reliable product in B.B. Battery's BC series of Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries. It provides stable power to users with an overall voltage of 12 volts and a nominal capacity of 18 Ah (20-hour rate). This battery features a sturdy, opaque, impact-resistant ABS plastic case. The battery cover is tightly connected to the case, and the terminal area is specially sealed to effectively prevent electrolyte leakage, ensuring high safety during use. Designed for both practicality and safety, the battery cover has six filling holes for electrolyte injection during production, followed by the installation of a pressure relief valve made of non-combustible materials.This key component can reliably release accumulated internal gases, significantly enhancing the battery's fire and explosion prevention performance, allowing users to use it with peace of mind in various applications.
In terms of internal structure, the positive and negative plates of the BC18-12 battery are coated with specially formulated pasty active materials, combined with Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. This technology effectively absorbs the electrolyte and promotes the recombination reaction of internal oxygen, achieving maintenance-free operation—users do not need to regularly add distilled water as they would with traditional batteries.The battery's sealed design and AGM technology also mean no free acid, completely eliminating the risk of leakage, so it can be safely installed horizontally or vertically (strictly prohibited from being inverted), providing great flexibility for equipment integration and space planning.
In terms of performance, under normal use and maintenance conditions, the BC18-12 has an expected service life of 5 to 7 years, demonstrating excellent durability. Its specifications are compact, with dimensions of 181 mm (length) x 76 mm (width) x 166 mm (height), and a weight of approximately 5.62 kg, making it easy to install and deploy in various devices.The battery is equipped with Type B1 standard terminals, and can also be optionally equipped with Type T2 or I1 terminals according to customer requirements to meet different wiring requirements.
The BC18-12 battery has a wide and diverse range of application scenarios. It is an ideal choice for low-power UPS systems, especially suitable for scenarios requiring 30 minutes or longer backup time, providing continuous power protection for critical loads. In the security field, it can reliably power fire alarm systems, security alarm systems, and surveillance cameras (including VCR equipment), ensuring that the security network continues to operate normally during power outages.In addition, it is widely used in emergency lighting systems, access control systems, and various medical electronic devices, providing uninterrupted energy support for these important facilities. For outdoor leisure activities, such as powering fishing lights or as the driving power source for small electric vehicles like electric scooters, the BC18-12 can also perform well with its stable output and reliable performance. In conclusion, whether ensuring the continuity of business operations or safeguarding the safety and convenience of families and individuals, the BC18-12 VRLA battery is a trustworthy portable energy solution.
