CSB GPL12400FR 12V 40Ah Sealed Lead-Acid Battery, Flame-Retardant Case

What is the CSB GPL12400FR?

The CSB GPL12400FR is a 12 V, 40 Ah valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery with absorbent glass mat (AGM) construction from the CSB GPL series (General Purpose, Long Life). It is sealed and maintenance-free: it never needs water.

CSB designs this series for float service standby power. This part number has a flame-retardant (UL 94-V0) case as standard.

CSB lists this part as a non-stock item, so availability and minimum order quantity are confirmed with your quote.
