The Power Sonic PS-12180 NB2 is a 12V, 18 Ah sealed lead acid (SLA / VRLA) battery. Specifically, the NB2 variant uses nut-and-bolt terminals for high-vibration, high-current connections. First, integrators specify it for fire alarm panel backup and emergency power. Then, the AGM construction lets it run maintenance-free and in any orientation.
How the Power Sonic PS-12180 NB2 is used
Therefore, technicians select this size when a 12V/18Ah SLA is called out for panel standby duty. Also, the NB2 terminal handles higher discharge current than F2 quick-disconnect tabs. In addition, the bolted connection resists loosening from vibration. As a result, the PS-12180 NB2 suits fire-system and security cabinets that need a torque-secured battery link.
