It measures 560 × 125 × 316 mm, the format sought by anyone replacing a 200 Ah battery in UPS, alarm and emergency systems. - Maintenance-free for its whole service life. - Sealed and gas-free: suitable for cabinets and offices. - Long float life under permanent charge. - AGM technology: absorbed electrolyte, no spills, can be mounted at an angle. ### What the Ritar FT12-200 is for The Ritar FT12-200 is designed for UPS, alarms, telecoms and emergency lighting: it sits on float charge and responds instantly to a mains failure. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 57.70 kg and M8 terminals. ### The Ritar FT12-200: FT range and AGM technology Within the Ritar catalogue, the **FT** series groups the references designed for this use. The FT12-200 is the 200 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes. AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology seals the electrolyte in glass microfibre. The result is a maintenance-free battery that is highly vibration-resistant and able to withstand deep discharges that would ruin a classic lead-acid battery. ### Will it fit your current battery tray? In terms of format, the Ritar FT12-200 measures 560 × 125 × 316 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 57.70 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. ### Ritar: the maker behind the FT12-200 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. All the Ritar batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. ### How to make it last longer Replace all the batteries in the set at once and avoid environments continuously above 25 °C. Check the float voltage of the UPS or charger: a voltage that is too high shortens the life of a sealed battery. ### Official warranty The Ritar FT12-200 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. ### Delivery times 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 this battery AGM? What is it for? Yes. The FT12-200 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 is the Ritar FT12-200 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 Ritar FT12-200 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 FT12-200 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 FT12-200 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. ## Equivalent batteries - [RITAR FT12-180](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-ritar-ft12-180-12v-ft-agm) - [RITAR FT12-185](https://baterias.com/gb/battery-ritar-ft12-185-12v-ft-agm) ## Reviews - **Average rating**: 4.69 / 5 (8 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 · 2026-10-01*
