The Forbatt FB12-2.4 12V 2.4Ah AGM VRLA Battery is a compact sealed rechargeable battery for compatible garage door openers, medical equipment and other 12V standby-power applications. It is suited to technicians, installers and homeowners replacing an existing battery with the same voltage, capacity, dimensions and terminal arrangement. Its long, narrow housing is particularly useful in equipment with a slim battery compartment.
Key Features
- Provides compact 12V backup power. The 2.4Ah capacity supports compatible equipment where a slim standby battery is required.
- Fits narrow battery compartments. Its long, low-profile housing is designed for equipment that cannot accommodate a conventional upright alarm battery.
- Requires minimal maintenance. The sealed AGM VRLA construction does not require water top-ups or routine electrolyte checks.
- Supports standby charging. It is suitable for compatible equipment that maintains the battery at the correct float voltage while mains power is available.
- Uses convenient push-on connections. The 6.35mm blade terminals accept compatible female battery clips without requiring nuts, bolts or threaded cable lugs.
- Retains charge during storage. Controlled self-discharge helps preserve capacity while the battery is not in active use, although stored batteries still require periodic voltage checks.
- Provides predictable replacement sizing. Matching the voltage, capacity, casing dimensions, terminal position and connector size helps avoid installation problems.
Compatibility & App Support
This battery has no app or wireless functions. It is intended for compatible equipment requiring a 12V 2.4Ah AGM VRLA battery with the same slim housing and push-on terminal arrangement.
Before purchasing, compare it with the original battery and confirm the charging profile, battery-compartment dimensions, polarity and connector size. The manufacturer specifies a standby charging range of 13.5V to 13.8V and a cyclic charging range of 14.4V to 15.0V at 25°C. Initial charging current should remain below 0.72A.
Whats Included
- 1 x Forbatt FB12-2.4 12V 2.4Ah AGM VRLA Battery
Note: Connector cables, battery clips, charger, nuts, bolts, washers and installation equipment are not listed as included.
Did You Know?
- This model does not use threaded terminals, so a packet of bolts, nuts and washers would not normally be required. It uses 6.35mm push-on blade terminals that connect to suitable female battery clips.
- The full 2.4Ah rating is measured at the 20-hour discharge rate. The manufacturer lists approximately 1.56Ah at the one-hour rate, meaning heavier loads reduce the usable capacity.
- Battery capacity is affected by temperature. The manufacturers data indicates approximately 85% capacity at 0°C and 65% at -15°C compared with the rated result at 25°C.
