Description
CBL1.3-12 | 12V 1.3Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery | 15.6Wh | F1 Terminal | 1.26 lbs (0.57 kg) | Lead Calcium Alloy | UL 1989 Certified
The Canbat 12V 1.3Ah SLA battery is a valve-regulated sealed lead acid (VRLA) battery designed for compact standby and light cyclic applications. Featuring lead calcium alloy plate construction and absorbent glass mat (AGM) technology, the battery delivers maintenance-free operation, a self-discharge rate below 2% per month, and reliable float performance across a 20+ year design floating life at 20°C. At 3.82 × 1.69 × 2.04 in and 1.26 lbs, it is one of the smallest 12V sealed lead acid batteries in the Canbat lineup — suited to space-constrained enclosures where a minimal 12V footprint is required. Certified to UL 1989.
Typical Applications
The CBL1.3-12 is designed for float standby duty in compact 12V systems with low current draw and short discharge durations. At 1.3Ah and 12V, it is suited to small-format alarm control panels, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, compact emergency lighting units, exit sign backup, access control keypads, 12V DC control systems, and small medical or diagnostic devices. The CBL1.3-12 is commonly used as a replacement 12V 1.3Ah SLA and AGM battery in residential and light commercial security systems, emergency lighting units, and access control equipment where a minimal 12V footprint is required.
UL 1989 Certification
The CBL1.3-12 is certified to UL 1989, the Underwriters Laboratories standard for sealed lead acid batteries, covering electrical performance, mechanical integrity, and safety requirements including overcharge tolerance and short circuit protection. Certification is issued following independent third-party laboratory evaluation — not manufacturer self-declaration.
Canbat maintains UL 1989 certification across its sealed lead acid battery lineup. UL 1989 certification is commonly specified for security, fire alarm, emergency lighting, telecommunications, and backup power installations.
VRLA AGM Construction
The CBL1.3-12 12V 1.3Ah SLA battery uses valve-regulated absorbent glass mat (AGM) construction, with electrolyte immobilized within puncture resistant micro-porous glass mat separators. The sealed recombinant cell design prevents acid emission under normal operating conditions and permits installation in any orientation. Lead calcium alloy plate construction eliminates watering requirements, reduces gassing, and supports low self-discharge performance. Batteries stored at 25°C may be held up to six months before a refresh charge is required; storage at elevated temperatures reduces this interval.

Great alarm battery replacement

Bought this 1.3Ah battery to use for my Litter-Robot cat box to provide power during power outages, so basically for backup power. This small great battery has enough power to rotate the barrel of the Litter-Robot, which is all I need done!

I needed a new auxiliary battery for my Mercedes 2018 CLA250, this was an exact fit and much better value than Mercedes overpriced brand.
Works great and so far not a single issue.

Our Mercedes was showing an “Auxillary Battery Malfunction” message so we decided to fix it ourselves. The battery was under the dash since we did not see any lump in the trunk. We replaced 1.3Ah existing battery with this one and works great and saved us a lot of money over the factory replacement. super easy to replace yourself, it was basically just 3 screws and a bolt.
