Measuring 197 × 166 × 171 mm, it is the direct replacement for power wheelchairs and mobility scooters fitted from the factory with a 40 Ah battery of this format. - AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery. - Sealed AGM/GEL: safe indoors and in transport. - No maintenance, no water top-ups. - Approved for air and sea transport (VRLA). ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting In terms of format, the Long WP40-12E measures 197 × 166 × 171 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 13.05 kg. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### What the Long WP40-12E is for The Long WP40-12E 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 13.05 kg. ### The Long WP40-12E: WP Series range and AGM technology The WP40-12E is part of the Long **WP Series** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### Warranty and coverage The Long WP40-12E 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. ### Care and maintenance Use the original charger or one compatible with the battery technology (AGM/GEL) and always replace both batteries in the set together. Recharge the wheelchair or scooter after each use and do not leave it discharged for days: lead sulphates and loses capacity. ### Delivery times and returns Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before 6:00 pm**: 24-48 working hours in mainland Spain and Portugal, 3 to 5 days in the islands and the rest of Europe. Returns are accepted for **14 days** if the battery has not been used (free collection on the Iberian mainland). You will receive tracking by email. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Long WP40-12E an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes. The WP40-12E 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 our blog. 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. ### What is the service life of the WP40-12E model? Expected lifespan of the Long WP40-12E 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 WP40-12E 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 WP40-12E? 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. ## Technical team (editorial authorship) The FAQs, guides and comparisons on this site are reviewed by the baterias.com technical team — automotive battery specialists since 2012. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-10-26*
