12*V* Voltage
40*Ah* Capacity
13.50*kg* Weight

The **Long WP40-12** with AGM technology delivers **40 Ah** at **12 V** with the cycle life that power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles demand. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in power wheelchairs and mobility scooters with a 197 × 166 × 171 mm format: same 40 Ah capacity.
- Thousands of useful cycles over its lifetime.
- Standard replacement format for wheelchairs and scooters.
- AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
- Designed to be discharged and recharged daily without losing capacity.

### What the Long WP40-12 is for

The Long WP40-12 is the usual replacement in power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and light electric vehicles. Recharge after each use and avoid leaving it discharged for days. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 13.50 kg.

### Will it fit your current battery tray?

In terms of format, the Long WP40-12 measures 197 × 166 × 171 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 13.50 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.

### The Long WP40-12: WP Series range and AGM technology

Within the Long catalogue, the **WP Series** series groups the references designed for this use. The WP40-12 is the 40 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.
In an AGM battery the electrolyte is absorbed in glass-fibre separators: there is no free liquid, it cannot spill and it can be mounted at an angle. That construction lowers internal resistance, speeds up recharging and multiplies cycle life compared with a conventional battery.

### What Long does differently

Long (Kung Long Batteries) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of sealed VRLA batteries. Its AGM and GEL series for UPS, mobility, alarms and cycling are found in equipment worldwide as original equipment. All the Long batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

### Official warranty

The Long WP40-12 comes with the **manufacturer's official warranty** against manufacturing defects. If it fails through a defect within the warranty period, we replace it at no cost to you.

### How to make it last longer

Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. Use the original charger or one compatible with the battery technology (AGM/GEL) and always replace both batteries in the set together.

### When you get it and how to return it

Order **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] days** to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this battery AGM? What is it for?

Yes. The WP40-12 from Long uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for devices with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.

### How do I change this battery step by step?

In most devices it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on this page. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On devices with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.

### How long does the Long WP40-12 battery last?

Expected lifespan of the Long WP40-12 is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate device use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.

### What are the dimensions of the Long WP40-12 battery?

Dimensions (length × width × height) are 198×166×171 mm — also written as 198x166x171 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your device before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.

### Which batteries are equivalent to the Long WP40-12?

Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop devices. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
