Product details
Among the general purpose valve regulated sealed lead acid batteries in the GP series, the CSB GP12170 features a top terminal VRLA-AGM design and is available in both 6V and 12V versions, with a nominal voltage of 12Vdc. Tested at 25°C and 1.75VPC, the 20-hour rate nominal capacity reaches 17Ah; meanwhile, the capacity is 18.56Ah at the 8-hour rate and 1.75VPC, 18.20Ah at the 20-hour rate and 1.75VPC, and 18.40Ah at the 8-hour rate and 1.80VPC. The battery has a maximum charge current of 5.10A, a maximum discharge current of 230A, a short-circuit current of 532A, and an internal resistance of 14.0mΩ.
Through the valve regulated sealed lead acid design and Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology, this battery achieves a gas recombination efficiency of up to 99%, making it maintenance-free; additionally, the pure lead construction and proprietary formulation elements are used in the design for float charge backup power applications. The product is manufactured in accordance with IEC 61056-1/2:2012 and is UL1989 recognized (MH14533). The case is made of ABS material (UL 94-HB); a flame-retardant 94-V0 version is available upon request.
At 25°C, the float charge voltage is between 13.5 and 13.8Vdc, and the equalization charge voltage is 14.4 to 15.0Vdc. In terms of operating temperature, the nominal temperature is 25°C (77°F), the discharge temperature range covers -15°C to 50°C (5°F to 122°F), and the charge and storage temperature range is -15°C to 40°C (5°F to 104°F). The design life is up to 5 years in float charge standby service at 25°C; according to the Eurobat (20°C) standard, it is 3 to 5 years in commercial applications.
In terms of self-discharge, after 90 days of storage at 25°C (77°F), the capacity loss is less than 10%, and the maximum storage period is 6 months; the battery must be fully charged before use, and if the storage temperature exceeds 25°C (77°F), a recharge is required in advance. Terminal models include B1, B1B, and B3, compatible with M5 bolts, with terminal torque of 30.4±6.1 Kgf∙cm, 3.0±0.6 N∙m, and 26.4±5.3 Lbf∙in. The dimensions are 181.0±2.0mm in length, 76.2±1.0mm in width, and 167.0±2.0mm in height, with a weight of 5.50kg (12.12 lb).
The GP series is officially positioned as a general purpose VRLA battery series that can meet various application needs such as security, emergency lighting, and medical equipment. With its 12Vdc voltage, 17Ah nominal capacity, and float charge backup design, the GP12170 can be used for backup power configurations in these fields, but the final selection still needs to be determined based on load and charging conditions.
