Stationary battery Q-Battery 12LS-18 18Ah 12V
The 12 V, 18 Ah Q-Battery 12LS-18 stationary battery with AGM technology is designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting. Measuring 181 × 77 × 167 mm, it is the direct replacement for UPS, alarm and emergency systems fitted from the factory with a 18 Ah battery of this format.
In short: the Q-battery 12LS-18 (18 Ah, 181 × 77 × 167 mm). Verified equivalent alternatives: Ritar RT12180 and Q-battery 12LS-17.
- Low self-discharge and high reliability.
- Standard format for UPS and emergency systems.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
- Instant response to mains failures.
Dimensions, polarity and mounting
In terms of format, the Q-Battery 12LS-18 measures 181 × 77 × 167 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 5.70 kg. It uses a G112074 hold-down and F3 (flag) terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.
What the Q-Battery 12LS-18 is for
Designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting, the Q-Battery 12LS-18 is sealed, gas-free and suitable for technical cabinets and offices. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 5.70 kg, F3 (flag) terminals and G112074 hold-down.
Technology inside the Q-Battery 12LS-18
The 12LS-18 is one of the Q-Battery references for this type of use; it shares the same manufacturing and quality-control criteria as the rest of the brand's catalogue.
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.
Why choose Q-Battery batteries
Q-Battery specialises in AGM and GEL VRLA batteries for UPS, telecoms, solar and deep cycling, with long-life and tubular-plate series for industrial use. We guarantee that every Q-Battery arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
Warranty and coverage
The Q-Battery 12LS-18 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.
Usage and maintenance tips
Check the float voltage of the UPS or charger: a voltage that is too high shortens the life of a sealed battery. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.
Shipping, delivery and returns
Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Q-battery 12LS-18 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes. The 12LS-18 from Q-battery 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 12LS-18 model?
Expected lifespan of the Q-battery 12LS-18 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 Q-battery 12LS-18 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 181×77×167 mm — also written as 181x77x167 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.
What are the equivalents of the 12LS-18 model?
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.
