Product details
B.B. Battery's BPS17-12 is a high-quality valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, part of the BPS series. This series of batteries is manufactured in 12V units with a wide capacity range from 5Ah to 230Ah, meeting the power requirements of various application scenarios. The BPS17-12 model's battery case is made of sturdy, durable, opaque, impact-resistant ABS plastic, ensuring structural integrity during transportation and use.The battery cover is firmly connected to the case, and the terminal area is carefully sealed to effectively prevent electrolyte leakage. Terminal types vary depending on the specific series and model; for example, the BPS17-12 standard configuration is a B1 terminal (compatible with M5 bolts and nuts), with T2 and I1 terminals available as optional configurations, providing users with flexible connection options.
This battery is designed with full consideration for safety and reliability. The battery cover has six filling holes for electrolyte filling during production, followed by the installation of a pressure relief valve made of non-combustible materials. This pressure relief valve design ensures a high level of fire and explosion safety for the battery under abnormal conditions.The battery uses Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology inside, achieving efficient gas recombination, making it a truly maintenance-free battery without the need for regular water addition. Meanwhile, the battery contains no free acid, meets non-spill standards, and can be safely installed in horizontal or vertical positions (inverted use is prohibited), providing great convenience for equipment installation.
In terms of technical performance, the BPS17-12 battery has a nominal voltage of 12V. Its nominal capacity is 17.0 Ah at a 20-hour rate (termination voltage 1.75V/cell), 16.15 Ah at a 10-hour rate, and 14.45 Ah at a 5-hour rate, demonstrating stable discharge performance.The internal resistance of the battery is approximately 16 milliohms when fully charged, with a maximum discharge current of 255 amps within 5 seconds and a maximum charging current of 5.1 amps. Its working temperature range is wide: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) for charging, -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) for discharging, and -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) for storage, suitable for various environmental conditions.
The monthly self-discharge rate of the battery is extremely low, less than 3% of its capacity, allowing it to maintain sufficient charge even during long-term standby.
The BPS17-12 battery has a compact size: length is approximately 181 mm (7.13 inches), width is approximately 76 mm (2.99 inches), container height and total height are both 166 mm (6.54 inches), weighs approximately 6.15 kilograms (13.56 pounds), making it easy to integrate into various devices. The initial torque for terminal hardware (B1 and I1) has clear requirements: 2.5 Nm ±5% and 4.0 Nm ±5% respectively, ensuring firm and reliable connections. Users can also choose a housing material with flame-retardant properties (UL94 V-0 grade), model BPS17-12FR, which provides additional protection for applications with higher fire protection requirements.
The battery's discharge characteristics have been thoroughly tested at 25°C (77°F), providing current and power data tables for different cutoff voltages (from 1.60V to 1.80V) and discharge times (from 5 minutes to 20 hours), facilitating engineers' accurate power system design and backup time calculation.For example, at a cutoff voltage of 1.75V, the average current discharged for 30 minutes is approximately 224 amperes.
The B.B. Battery BPS series batteries have become an ideal power solution for numerous critical applications due to their excellent reliability. It is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring a backup time of 30 minutes or longer. Typical application areas include low-power uninterruptible power supply systems, fire and safety alarm systems, emergency lighting and monitoring systems, access control systems, and various medical devices. Additionally, it can also provide reliable power support for power supply networks, the power industry, mining, oil and gas, telecommunication facilities, rural estates, and hotel, catering, and retail equipment.In the field of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy storage systems, and in some electric vehicle applications, it also plays an important role. With an expected service life of over 12 years (classified as a long-life battery according to Eurobat standards), BPS17-12 provides users with lasting value and high operational reliability.
