Sealed lead‑acid battery FIAMM GP12170 12V 17Ah for UPS and backup power

The FIAMM GP12170 is a sealed lead‑acid battery providing 12V nominal voltage and 17Ah capacity, designed for UPS systems and backup power applications. Its valve‑regulated, maintenance‑free construction delivers stable performance for standby installations, emergency lighting, alarm systems and other critical power needs. The compact rechargeable design allows easy installation in racks, cabinets and enclosures where dependable 12V standby power is required.

Advantages

The valve‑regulated sealed design prevents electrolyte leakage and allows installation in multiple orientations without maintenance. A 17Ah capacity offers a balance between compact size and usable energy for medium-duration backup, while the rechargeable lead‑acid chemistry supports repeated charge/discharge cycles typical for standby service. The battery is compatible with common UPS and alarm system chargers, providing predictable voltage regulation and safe operation in enclosed environments.
