-
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Tech: Features high-purity lead-calcium alloy grids and AGM separators that minimize internal resistance and prevent acid leakage, even if the battery is installed on its side.
-
Wide Compatibility: The LW-7AH is a standard-size battery that fits perfectly into most 650VA, 750VA, 850VA, and 1000VA UPS brands, including Lightwave, Mercury, Mecer, and APC (check dimensions for APC).
-
Low Self-Discharge: Engineered to retain its charge for longer periods when not in use, ensuring that it is ready to perform even if the power hasn't gone out in months.
