The Kidde 12V6A5 is a 7.2 Ah rechargeable sealed lead acid battery rated at 12 VDC, built to serve as secondary standby power for commercial fire alarm systems per NFPA 72. Drop it into Kidde FX Series panels and other compatible fire alarm control panels where reliable backup power keeps the system running through outages.

Built for fire alarm standby power

Non-spillable and non-hazardous with a DOT Class 60 classification, this battery ships and installs without special handling. The ABS thermoplastic case holds up in panel enclosure environments from 32F to 120F. When sizing batteries, consult the specific panel's installation manual to calculate capacity requirements - if multiple power supplies are involved, each supply's battery needs should be calculated individually.
