Key Features:

• 12V 8Ah Backup Battery: Provides backup DC power for alarm panels, sirens, door access systems, and more. Keeps systems running during power failures (length of backup depends on system load in amperes)
• High Quality Construction: Built with pure lead (virgin materials) and robust internal plates – resulting in longer life and reliable capacity compared to many standard SLA batteries. UL recognized component for safety
• Maintenance-Free SLA: Sealed Lead Acid design – non-spillable, no need to add water or electrolytes. Can be installed in any orientation (upright or on its side) inside an alarm cabinet or battery box
• Faston F1 Terminals: Uses 0.187″ fast-on tab terminals for connections. Most alarm panels have matching battery leads with slip-on connectors – making replacement plug-and-play. (Adapters available if device has different terminal type)
• Extended AH Capacity: Offers a full 8.0 Ah capacity – often replacing a 7Ah battery with ELK-1280 will give extra reserve time with the same physical footprint. More lead = greater capacity, which can lengthen standby duration for critical systems

Technical Specifications:

• Nominal Voltage: 12 Volts DC
• Capacity: 8.0 Ah @ 20-hr rate (7.68 Ah @ 10-hr rate). This provides approx. 24 hours of backup at a 300 mA load or ~8 hours at a 1 Amp load before deep discharge (80% depth)
• Terminal: F1 Faston 0.187″ blades (Note: If replacing a battery with F2 0.250″ tabs, use adapter clips or appropriate leads)
• Dimensions: ~5.95″ L × 2.56″ W × 3.70″ H (151 × 65 × 94 mm). Fits standard alarm can battery shelves and many emergency light compartments. Weight ~5.2 lbs (2.35 kg)
• Recharge Voltage: Float charge at 13.6–13.8 VDC. Most alarm panels provide proper float charging. Maximum charge current 2.4A recommended for fast recovery (panel chargers typically ~0.5–1A)
• Operating Temperature: -4 to 140 °F (-20 to 60 °C) discharge; 32 to 122 °F (0 to 50 °C) charge.
• Design Life: 3–5 years typical in float service at 25°C. (High temperatures reduce life; keeping it cool prolongs it)
