Sealed Lead-Acid Battery Long 12V 7Ah F1 – rechargeable, valve-regulated

Long 12V 7Ah F1 is a sealed lead-acid (SLA) rechargeable battery designed for both standby and cyclic use. It provides a nominal 12 volts and 7 ampere-hours of capacity in a compact, valve-regulated case with an F1 terminal. The valve-regulated construction reduces water loss and maintenance needs, and allows safe installation in upright or horizontal orientations for a range of small power applications such as alarm systems, UPS units, emergency lighting and small mobility devices.

Advantages

The valve-regulated sealed design ensures minimal maintenance and low self-discharge during storage. An F1 terminal provides reliable, low-resistance connections suited to common lead-acid battery holders and clips. The battery delivers consistent voltage output for standby circuits and acceptable cycle life for frequent discharge–recharge applications within its rated depth of discharge. Its compact dimensions and sealed housing allow flexible installation in constrained spaces without ventilation requirements associated with flooded cells.

Suitable for

• Standby power for alarm and security systems
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for small servers and network equipment
• Emergency and exit lighting
• Small mobility aids and portable equipment

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 12 V
• Capacity: 7 Ah (ampere-hours)
• Terminal type: F1 (faston/tab)
• Battery chemistry: sealed lead-acid, valve-regulated (SLA/VRLA)
• Designed for standby and cyclic applications
• Maintenance: valve-regulated, low maintenance

How to use

Install the battery in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct polarity and secure connection to the F1 terminal. For standby applications, keep the battery connected to a compatible charger or float charger that maintains voltage within the recommended range. For cyclic use, select an appropriate charger with charge stages suitable for sealed lead-acid batteries and avoid deep discharges beyond the manufacturer’s recommended depth of discharge. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and charge them before first use and after prolonged storage to restore capacity.

Usage recommendations

Use a charger compatible with sealed lead-acid batteries and with output settings that match a 12 V, 7 Ah battery. Avoid exposing the battery to temperatures outside the equipment’s specified operating range and prevent short circuits by protecting terminals. Replace the battery when end-of-life indicators appear, such as significant capacity loss or inability to hold charge.
