Newstar 12V 18Ah VRLA AGM Battery (33-1812)
Ideal for
Overview
Larger fire panels, UPS battery strings and telecom cabinets need serious standby capacity and connections that stay secure. The Newstar 12V 18Ah delivers 18Ah of 12V backup through M5 bolt-on terminals. They give a firmer, lower-resistance connection than push-on tabs, which matters when currents run high.
It's the standard size for 24V fire alarm panels, where two batteries run in series. Its low 15 mΩ internal resistance and 270A maximum discharge current handle heavy loads the moment the mains drops. Its sealed AGM construction means no water top-ups and no routine checks. BAM supplies it wholesale to integrators, fire and security installers, MEP contractors and FM companies across the UAE and GCC.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Message our sales team on WhatsApp.
Can I use two in series for a 24V system?
Yes. Two 12V 18Ah batteries in series give 24V 18Ah, the standard setup for 24V fire panels. Always replace both together, using batteries of the same model and age.
Which terminal does it have?
It comes with M5 bolt-on terminals, either T3 (bolt and nut) or T12 (threaded insert). Check which your cabling needs before ordering.
What charger settings should I use?
For standby use, float charge at 13.60–13.80V at 25°C with a maximum charging current of 5.4A.
How long will it last?
The design floating life is 5 years at 25°C. Higher temperatures shorten it, so install away from heat sources.
Can I use it in golf trolleys, scooters or solar systems?
It will power them, but these drain and recharge the battery repeatedly. That is cyclic use, which the warranty does not cover.

Yes. BAM supplies Newstar batteries wholesale across the UAE, GCC, Africa and Central Asia.
