Q-Battery 12LS-17 in everyday use
Telecom cabinets at the roadside see heat in summer and frost in winter. Take old batteries to an authorised recycling point and tape over the terminals. Mixing old and new batteries in one UPS cuts runtime and harms the new blocks.
The AGM technology explained
Open up an AGM battery in your imagination and you would find the acid soaked into thin glass-fibre sheets squeezed against each plate. Recharging is quick with AGM, handy for vehicles that do short trips. Leaving a glass-mat battery flat for weeks invites sulphation.
Make sure it fits your vehicle or equipment
- ✓ Rated 17Ah: check that the charger or alternator in your system can refill a battery of that capacity in reasonable time.
- ✓ Terminal type: F13 (M5). Make sure your cable clamps or connectors suit it before fitting.
- ✓ A different chemistry from AGM may need system changes.
