Product Features

Non-Spillable Sealed Design for Enhanced Safety

The Shield 12V 18AH battery uses a non-spillable sealed design, ensuring that the battery is safe to use in environments where leakage or spillage could pose a risk. The Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology absorbs the electrolyte inside the battery, which prevents any acid from escaping, even if the battery is mounted in an inclined or upright position. This sealed design is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, where safety and reliability are paramount.

AGM Technology for Superior Performance

The AGM technology used in the 12AL18MF ensures that the battery delivers high power output, faster recharge times, and longer service life. The low internal resistance offered by AGM allows the battery to provide efficient power even in demanding applications. Whether powering UPS systems, solar applications, or security devices, the 12AL18MF is engineered for deep cycling capabilities and can handle frequent charge and discharge cycles without degrading in performance.

Maintenance-Free Operation

With the 12AL18MF battery, you no longer have to worry about regular maintenance tasks such as topping up electrolyte levels. This maintenance-free design ensures hassle-free operation over the long term, making it ideal for users who need reliable and long-lasting power without the need for constant upkeep. Simply install it and rely on its consistent performance for years to come.

Long Cycle Life with Deep Discharge Resistance

The 12AL18MF is designed for applications that require deep discharges and frequent recharging. It has a long cycle life, which means it can be charged and discharged many times without significantly impacting its overall lifespan. The deep discharge resistance ensures that even after extensive use, the battery will continue to perform effectively, making it ideal for solar systems, backup power units, and other systems where the battery regularly cycles between full charge and deep discharge.

Versatile Applications for Various Power Needs

The Shield 12V 18AH AGM battery is highly versatile, offering reliable power for a broad spectrum of devices and systems. Common applications include:

• Backup Power Systems: Provides reliable power to routers, modems, small UPS systems, and other essential devices during power outages.
• Security Systems: Powers CCTV cameras, alarm systems, access control systems, and other security devices, ensuring continuous protection even during power disruptions.
• Solar Energy Storage: Ideal for use in solar power systems, this battery stores energy collected during the day and supplies power when solar generation is unavailable, such as at night or on cloudy days.
• Medical Equipment: Provides backup power for critical medical devices such as oxygen concentrators, portable ventilators, and medical monitoring systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation when needed.
• Emergency Lighting: Powers emergency lights, exit signs, and safety lighting systems during power outages, maintaining visibility and safety.
• Electric Vehicles & Mobility Devices: Powers electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and other small electric vehicles that require reliable and long-lasting power.

Environmentally Friendly and Safe

The 12AL18MF is a safe and eco-friendly solution, made from recyclable materials and designed to prevent any acid leakage. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, the AGM technology eliminates the need for free-flowing acid, making this battery safer for both the environment and the user. Its design also ensures that it operates efficiently with minimal heat buildup, reducing the chances of overheating or failure.
