Ritar FT12-260 for UPS and standby systems
Home alarm systems and garage door motors also use the Ritar FT12-260. Standby batteries are judged on voltage, capacity and terminal fit. Comparing terminal types on screen avoids a wasted order.

Fitting and everyday care
Telecom cabinets at the roadside see heat in summer and frost in winter. Check whether the UPS allows hot-swapping before pulling batteries out. Emergency luminaires that go dark early during a drill usually need fresh cells.
What AGM means for you
Oxygen formed at one plate travels through the mat and recombines at the other. Low internal resistance lets AGM deliver strong bursts of current on demand. Too much voltage makes the valves vent gas that can never be replaced.
Before you order: a quick checklist
- ✓ Stored energy reserve: 260Ah. Going much lower than your current battery can leave you short on cold mornings or long stops.
- ✓ With M8 terminals, some installations need a different clamp or adapter. Check before fitting.
- ✓ The technology is AGM. Keep the same type as the original, and confirm your charger offers a matching profile.
