Long float-life under permanent charge and instant response to mains outages with no noticeable voltage drop. ### Why this stationary battery? - **Instant response** when the mains drop, no voltage dip - **Long life under 24/7 charge** optimised for permanent service - **Compatible with your system** existing UPS units and alarm control panels 🔌 Voltage 12 V ⚡ Capacity 38 Ah C20 📏 Dimensions 197×165×170 mm ⚙️ Technology AGM ⚖️ Weight 13,2 kg 🏷️ Model AGM STANDARD ## Description ## Stationary battery Q-Battery 12LS-38 38Ah 12V 12*V* Voltage 38*Ah* Capacity 13.20*kg* Weight Designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting, the **Q-Battery 12LS-38** offers **38 Ah** with AGM technology on permanent float charge. Its 197 × 165 × 170 mm make it the exact replacement for the 38 Ah battery fitted as standard to many UPS, alarm and emergency systems. - Instant response to mains failures. - AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery. - Standard format for UPS and emergency systems. - Low self-discharge and high reliability. ### What the Q-Battery 12LS-38 is for Designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting, the Q-Battery 12LS-38 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 13.20 kg, F11 (M6) terminals and G112077 hold-down. ### Will it fit your current battery tray? The Q-Battery 12LS-38 is made in the 197 × 165 × 170 mm format and weighs 13.20 kg. It uses a G112077 hold-down and F11 (M6) terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery. ### Q-Battery: the maker behind the 12LS-38 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. At baterias.com we work directly with the manufacturer or its official distributor: real stock, brand-new product and official warranty. ### Technology inside the Q-Battery 12LS-38 The 12LS-38 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. AGM means the acid is held in a glass mat instead of floating free. That is why the battery can be installed in the cabin without gases, survives more cycles and recovers its charge quickly. ### Care and maintenance Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators. Replace all the batteries in the set at once and avoid environments continuously above 25 °C. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Q-Battery 12LS-38 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. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]** with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic and Canary Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have **[[ks:return_days]] 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 12LS-38 model AGM? What does this technology offer? Yes. The 12LS-38 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 is the Q-battery 12LS-38 battery installed in the vehicle? 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 many years does this battery last? Expected lifespan of the Q-battery 12LS-38 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 measurements of the 12LS-38 model? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 197×165×170 mm — also written as 197x165x170 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 Q-battery 12LS-38? 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 — over 25 years of experience validating automotive batteries. → https://baterias.com/gb/technical-team --- *baterias.com — Automotive batteries · 2026-09-28*
