Powersonic PS-1280-F1

Powersonic PS-1280-F1 Sealed Lead Acid Backup Battery

The Powersonic PS-1280-F1 is a compact 12-volt 8 Ah sealed lead acid (SLA) rechargeable battery designed specifically for space-constrained fire alarm, security system, and emergency lighting applications requiring reliable backup power in small form-factor enclosures. This lightweight, maintenance-free battery utilizes advanced Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) technology to deliver dependable emergency backup power for control panels, wireless transmitters, notification devices, and emergency exit lighting in retail facilities, small offices, restaurants, and other space-limited installations where full-sized backup batteries cannot fit.

Compact Physical Specifications: The PS-1280-F1 measures just 5.94 inches length by 2.56 inches width by 3.7 inches height, weighing only 5.51 pounds (2.5 kg), enabling installation in cramped cabinet spaces, wall-mounted enclosures, and retrofit applications where existing battery compartments cannot accommodate larger batteries. The F1 terminal configuration provides standard faston connectors compatible with thousands of fire alarm and security control panel terminals, ensuring straightforward integration into existing wiring harnesses without proprietary adapters or custom fabrication.

Electrical Performance & Charging: The PS-1280-F1 delivers 7.96 Ah nominal capacity at 20-hour discharge rate, storing 95.53 watt-hours of backup energy for continuous control panel operation during power loss events. The battery features gas recombination technology enabling rapid recharge cycles from DC charging supplies at 2.35-2.45 volts per cell (14.1-14.7 volts for the 12V battery), with initial charging current limited to C/5 amperage rates for safe, predictable recharge performance that extends service life across thousands of duty cycles.

Applications & Environmental Certifications: Ideally suited for security systems, fire alarm panels, emergency lighting, medical backup power, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications, the PS-1280-F1 operates reliably across -40°F to 140°F discharge temperature ranges, with optimal performance in 5°F to 104°F ambient conditions common in climate-controlled equipment rooms and outdoor-mounted enclosures. This battery carries full UL, CE, IEC 60896, RoHS, and REACH certifications, meeting all regulatory standards for emergency backup power in critical life safety applications across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific markets.
