Description
CBL22-12 | 12V 22Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery | 264Wh | M5 Terminal | 11.9 lbs (5.78 kg) | Lead Calcium Alloy | UL 1989 Certified
The Canbat 12V 22Ah SLA battery is a valve-regulated sealed lead acid (VRLA) AGM battery designed for mission-critical standby and light cyclic applications requiring maximum reserve capacity and extended runtime. 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. Rated at 22Ah and 264Wh, the CBL22-12 is the highest-capacity model in this enclosure format — delivering maximum runtime for mission-critical UPS systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial standby power applications. Certified to UL 1989.
Typical Applications
The CBL22-12 12V 22Ah SLA battery is designed for float standby and light cyclic discharge duty in mission-critical and industrial backup power systems where maximum reserve capacity and extended runtime are the primary requirements. Rated at 22Ah (C20) at 12V, this 12V 22Ah SLA battery delivers the highest reserve capacity in the CBL series enclosure format and is suited to high-load commercial and industrial standby applications requiring sustained backup duration. Typical deployment includes mission-critical UPS backup power systems, telecommunications infrastructure, network infrastructure, industrial control systems, critical communications equipment, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting systems, access control systems, electric power systems (EPS), building automation controls, and DC control systems. The CBL22-12 is commonly used as a replacement 12V 22Ah SLA and AGM battery in UPS systems, telecommunications infrastructure, network equipment, industrial standby power systems, fire alarm systems, and emergency lighting installations requiring maximum reserve capacity.
UL 1989 Certification
UL 1989 certification provides third-party verification of battery safety and performance requirements commonly specified for Canadian commercial and institutional installations. Certified batteries are frequently selected for fire alarm, emergency lighting, telecommunications, security, and standby power systems where engineers, contractors, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) require documented product certification.
The CBL22-12 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.
VRLA AGM Construction
The CBL22-12 12V 22Ah 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.

Bought this SLA battery for a lawnmower and I am so happy I did. I can use my mower for hours now without worrying about it turning off.
Henry K. –
These CBL 12v 22AH were a perfect fit for my kid’s scooter. They were outside riding them for hours.
Bob G. –
Great lead-acid battery for running backup lights at home.
David L. –
Canbat gave me good pricing and some discount. I bought 16 of the 22AH lead-acid batteries for my scooter company.
Sally X. –
I was deciding to either get the 18AH or 22AH lead-acid battery. They’re the same size. I went for the SLA 22AH for more run time and power.
Erick D. –
Great and affordable price. I use these lead-acid batteries for my camping equipment.
Xan T. –
The 22ah lead-acid batteries are by far the most popular buy for me. Great use on my scooters.
Herman J. –
Excellent replacement for my old Leoch 6-DZF-20 batteries, which came with electric pallet jack.
