Furthermore, the battery serves fire alarm panels, emergency lighting, UPS systems, and security systems that need long-duration standby capacity.
How the Power Sonic PS-121400 M8 FR performs
The battery uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology. As a result, the cells deliver high energy density and reliable float performance. In addition, the valve-regulated, maintenance-free, spill-proof construction means no electrolyte refilling is required. Therefore, the unit can be mounted in cabinets that prohibit vented batteries. The case and cover are rugged ABS material that resists vibration and impact during transport and service.
