Power Sonic PS-12180 F2 is a 12 volt, 18 Ah general purpose sealed lead acid battery with F2 terminals. Power Sonic designs the PS series for float and light cyclic use, including fire and security systems, emergency lighting and UPS.
In standby (float) service the battery is held at a constant 13.5 to 13.8 volts, where it maintains itself fully charged. For cyclic use the charge voltage is 14.1 to 14.7 volts with an initial current under C/5, switching to float when the current falls to a 3% capacity rate.
