Battery SALICRU Salicru UBT 12/17 — Sealed Lead Acid VRLA 12V 17Ah, 5 kg, 181×167 mm

The SALICRU Salicru UBT 12/17 is a sealed lead‑acid (VRLA) rechargeable battery with a nominal voltage of 12 V and a rated capacity of 17 Ah. Designed for compactness and reliability, this maintenance‑free battery uses AGM (absorbed glass mat) technology and gas recombination to minimise water loss and allow safe operation in a range of orientations. Certified to CE and WEEE standards, it is intended for backup power roles in UPS systems, telecom equipment, emergency lighting and other security or standby installations where a service‑free 12 V battery is required.

Advantages

The battery’s AGM construction enables up to 99% gas recombination, eliminating the need to add water and reducing maintenance. Its sealed, watertight case with one‑way pressure relief valves prevents internal overpressure in case of overcharge while allowing safe venting of gases. The plate alloy formulation and lead grid design provide a favourable energy density and low self‑discharge, supporting both float and cyclic applications. Compact dimensions and a 5 kg weight make it practical to install in constrained spaces and varied mounting positions.

Suitable for

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules and power backup units
• Telecommunications cabinets and network equipment backup
• Emergency and safety lighting systems
• Security and alarm systems requiring a 12 V standby battery
• Portable or fixed backup energy applications in industrial and commercial equipment

How to use

Install the SALICRU UBT 12/17 in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations. Connect the battery using appropriately rated cables and terminals, observing correct polarity. For standby use in UPS or telecom systems, ensure the charger or float regulator is configured for a 12 V VRLA battery and that charging voltages and temperature compensation follow SALICRU’s recommended values. Do not open or disassemble the sealed case. Dispose of the battery according to local WEEE and battery recycling regulations at end of life.

Usage recommendations

Store and operate the battery in a cool, dry, and well‑ventilated location, avoiding prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the manufacturer’s recommended range. Periodically inspect terminals and connections for corrosion and tightness. For optimal service life in float applications, maintain the battery on a compatible float charger and avoid deep discharges where possible.
