It replaces the original battery without adaptation in UPS, alarm and emergency systems with a 565 × 110 × 296 mm format: same 160 Ah capacity. - AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle. - Long float life under permanent charge. - Sealed and gas-free: suitable for cabinets and offices. - Maintenance-free for its whole service life. ### Dimensions, polarity and mounting It has external dimensions of 565 × 110 × 296 mm and weighs 49 kg. It uses M8 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 Ritar FT12-160A is for With 160 Ah, the Ritar FT12-160A gives your UPS or emergency system the autonomy it needs. Replace all the batteries in the set at once. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 49 kg and M8 terminals. ### The Ritar FT12-160A: FT range and AGM technology The FT12-160A is part of the Ritar **FT** range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family. 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. ### Why choose Ritar batteries With more than twenty years making sealed lead batteries, Ritar offers general-purpose, long-life, high-rate and front-terminal ranges for every stationary application. We guarantee that every Ritar arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty. ### Manufacturer's warranty The Ritar FT12-160A 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 Check the float voltage of the UPS or charger: a voltage that is too high shortens the life of a sealed battery. Replace all the batteries in the set at once and avoid environments continuously above 25 °C. ### Shipping, delivery and returns Same-day dispatch from our warehouse for in-stock orders placed **before [[ks:cutoff]]**: 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 **[[ks:return_days]] 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 Ritar FT12-160A an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM? Yes. The FT12-160A from Ritar 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 fit the FT12-160A model in my device? 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. ### What is the service life of the FT12-160A model? Expected lifespan of the Ritar FT12-160A 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 Ritar FT12-160A battery? Dimensions (length × width × height) are 565×110×296 mm — also written as 565x110x296 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 Ritar FT12-160A? 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [RITAR FT12-150](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-ritar-ft12-150-12v-ft-agm) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.89 / 5 (10 reviews) ## 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*
