The Power Sonic PS-1280 F1 is a 12V, 8.0 Ah sealed lead acid (SLA / VRLA) battery. Specifically, it ships with F1 (0.187″ / 4.75 mm) quick-disconnect tabs. First, it provides standby and light-cyclic power for fire alarm panels, UPS, and emergency lighting. Then, the AGM construction is non-spillable and maintenance-free.
How the Power Sonic PS-1280 F1 is used
Therefore, integrators choose the PS-1280 when a panel calls for a 12V/8Ah SLA. Also, the F1 tab terminal matches standard quick-connect leads. In addition, the AGM design lets the battery operate in any orientation. As a result, the PS-1280 F1 covers most mid-size fire-system and security-panel standby duty.
