Lead acid battery 12V 17Ah CSB GP12170 AGM VRLA sealed rechargeable

The CSB GP12170 is a sealed lead acid battery providing 12V nominal voltage and 17Ah capacity in an AGM/VRLA construction. Designed as a rechargeable, maintenance-free power source, this battery offers stable output for a range of backup and portable power applications. Its valve-regulated, spill-proof casing allows safe indoor installation and flexible mounting orientations without the need for electrolyte refilling.

Advantages

This sealed rechargeable battery delivers reliable 12V power with a usable 17Ah capacity while requiring no routine maintenance or water topping. The AGM (absorbed glass mat) and VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) design reduces gas emission under normal operation and provides resistance to vibration and shocks. The compact, sealed housing is spill-proof for safe indoor use and supports varied mounting positions. Compatible with standard lead-acid charging regimes, it offers predictable performance in standby and cyclic applications.

Suitable for

• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for home and small office systems
• Alarm and security systems
• Telecommunication equipment and network backups
• Portable power packs and emergency lighting
• Small-scale renewable energy storage and testing equipment

How to use

Install the battery in a well-ventilated, indoor location away from direct heat sources and open flames. Connect using appropriate polarity and secure terminal connections to prevent loose contacts. Use a charger designed for lead acid AGM/VRLA batteries and follow the manufacturer’s recommended charging voltage and current limits to ensure full recharge and prolonged life. For standby applications, maintain the battery on a float/standby charge; for cyclic use, apply the recommended cycle charging profile.

Usage recommendations

To maximize service life, avoid deep discharge beyond the recommended depth of discharge, store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use, and perform periodic charge maintenance if left idle for extended periods. Replace batteries in matched sets when used in series or parallel arrangements to ensure balanced performance.
