Description
CBL7-12 | 12V 7Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery | 84Wh | F1 Terminal | 4.37 lbs (1.98 kg) | Lead Calcium Alloy | UL 1989 Certified
The Canbat 12V 7Ah SLA battery is a valve-regulated sealed lead acid (VRLA) battery designed for 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. The compact footprint — 5.94 × 2.56 × 3.68 in — suits a wide range of commercial and residential enclosure formats across security, life-safety, UPS, and access control infrastructure. Certified to UL 1989.
Typical Applications
The CBL7-12 is designed for float standby and light cyclic discharge duty in systems requiring reliable 12V sealed backup power with extended reserve capacity. Rated at 7Ah (C20) at 12V, the battery is one of the most widely deployed sizes in the 12V SLA market — suited to a broad range of commercial and residential standby applications. Typical deployment includes alarm and security systems, fire detection panels, emergency lighting equipment, exit sign backup units, access control systems, garage door openers, UPS backup power, electric power systems (EPS), communication power supplies, DC control systems, medical monitoring equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. The CBL7-12 is commonly used as a replacement 12V 7Ah SLA and AGM battery in security systems, alarm panels, emergency lighting equipment, access control systems, UPS units, and garage door openers.
UL 1989 Certification
The CBL7-12 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 CBL7-12 12V 7Ah 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.
