Description
CBL26-12 | 12V 26Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery | 312Wh | NB Terminal | 17.20 lbs (7.8 kg) | Lead Calcium Alloy | UL 1989 Certified
The Canbat 12V 26Ah SLA battery is a valve-regulated sealed lead acid (VRLA) AGM battery designed for mobility, medical, and commercial standby applications requiring high 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 26Ah and 312Wh, the CBL26-12 is a high-capacity 12V SLA battery commonly used in mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, and medical mobility equipment — while also serving commercial UPS, telecommunications, and industrial standby power applications. Certified to UL 1989.
Typical Applications
The CBL26-12 12V 26Ah SLA battery is designed for mobility, medical, and commercial standby applications requiring high reserve capacity and reliable extended runtime. Rated at 26Ah (C20) at 12V, this 12V 26Ah SLA battery is well-suited to mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, mobility equipment, and medical mobility devices where battery runtime directly affects range and usability. Typical deployment also includes UPS backup power systems, fire alarm systems, emergency lighting systems, access control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, electric power systems (EPS), communication power supplies, building automation controls, and DC control systems. The CBL26-12 is commonly used as a replacement 12V 26Ah SLA and AGM battery in mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, medical mobility equipment, UPS systems, fire alarm systems, and emergency lighting installations.
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 CBL26-12 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 CBL26-12 12V 26Ah 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.
