Stationary battery Ritar FT12-180 FT 180Ah 12V
The Ritar FT12-180 with AGM technology is a 180 Ah, 12 V backup battery for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting. It replaces the original battery without adaptation in UPS, alarm and emergency systems with a 560 × 125 × 316 mm format: same 180 Ah capacity.
In short: the Ritar FT12-180 (180 Ah, 560 × 125 × 316 mm). Verified equivalent alternatives: Ritar FT12-185 and Ritar FT12-200.
- Sealed and gas-free: suitable for cabinets and offices.
- Maintenance-free for its whole service life.
- AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle.
- Long float life under permanent charge.
What the Ritar FT12-180 is for
Designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting, the Ritar FT12-180 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 52 kg and M8 terminals.
Size, terminals and hold-down of the Ritar FT12-180
The Ritar FT12-180 is made in the 560 × 125 × 316 mm format and weighs 52 kg. It uses M8 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.
What Ritar does differently
Ritar is one of the world's largest VRLA battery manufacturers. Its RA, RT, RL, HR and FT series equip UPS, telecoms and solar systems worldwide with very consistent quality. We guarantee that every Ritar arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.
The Ritar FT12-180: FT range and AGM technology
Within the Ritar catalogue, the FT series groups the references designed for this use. The FT12-180 is the 180 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.
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.
Manufacturer's warranty
The Ritar FT12-180 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
Order before 6:00 pm 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 14 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 the Ritar FT12-180 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes. The FT12-180 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 FT12-180 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 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.
How long does the Ritar FT12-180 battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Ritar FT12-180 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 FT12-180 battery?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 560×125×316 mm — also written as 560x125x316 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 FT12-180 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.
