CSB HR1224W 12V 6.4AH High-Rate SLA Battery - AGM Sealed Lead Acid
CSB HR1224W 12V 6.4AH High-Rate SLA Battery - AGM Sealed Lead Acid
CSB HR1224W Battery - 12V 27W Per Cell High Rate AGM, F2
Warranty
A Label That Understates the Block
- 6.4 Ah at the 20 hour rate - a price list figure only; CSB publishes no amp hour row on the datasheet for this part, because a small UPS empties the block long before twenty hours are up.
- 13.5 amps at the 15 minute rate - to 1.67 volts per cell, rising to 27.4 amps over 5 minutes and 18.0 amps over 10.
- 130 amps maximum discharge current - on the F2 tab; CSB's datasheet notes that the F1 terminal option drops that ceiling to 100 amps, so the terminal choice changes the rating.
- 2.40 amps maximum charge current - a low recharge ceiling, which is what stretches the recovery window after a deep event on a small charger.
- Flame retardant case is optional here - the price list lists this part as HR 1224WF2F1 with the 94-V0 case available at a surcharge rather than standard, unlike the larger HR1290WFR and HR12120WFR.

Where This Battery Is Used
- Narrow-slot UPS trays - enclosures laid out around a 2 inch cell width where a squarer brick of the same capacity will not seat.
- Multi-battery rack UPS strings - designs that stack several small blocks in series to reach 48 or 96 volts across a shallow tray.
- Emergency lighting and security panels - standby duty at float for years, then a short heavy pull when the mains drop.

Frequently Asked Questions
This and the HR1227W both measure 27.0 watts per cell. How do I choose between them?
On case shape and on fault current, since the fifteen minute output is a tie. This block is 5.94 by 2.01 by 3.89 inches; the HR1227W is 3.54 by 2.76 by 4.18, so one is long and thin and the other is short and squat, and the tray usually decides. At the five minute rate this part pulls ahead slightly at 54.8 watts per cell against 53.0. The HR1227W answers back with 424 amps of short circuit current against 260 and marginally lower internal resistance. Match the footprint first, then check the fault figure against your protective device.
Will it fit a tray built for a squarer brick of the same capacity?
Only if the slot is long enough. This case gives up width to gain length, so it slides into a 2 inch channel that a 2.76 inch block cannot enter, and it needs 5.94 inches of run to do it. Height is the easy one at 3.89 inches. Measure the slot in all three directions and send the numbers with your quote request, and the fit gets confirmed against CSB's drawing before anything ships.
Why is the short circuit current lower than on the HR1227W?
Internal resistance and terminal design set that figure, and this part carries approximately 20.6 milliohms against the HR1227W's 19.9. A small difference in resistance moves fault current a long way, which is how 260 amps and 424 amps end up on two blocks that deliver the same watts over fifteen minutes. Short circuit current matters for sizing fusing and disconnects. It says nothing about how long the battery will carry your load.
Does the 6.4 amp hour rating tell me anything useful for UPS duty?
Very little on its own. Amp hours are measured over 20 hours at a gentle current, and a UPS empties its battery in minutes. That is why CSB rates the HR series in watts per cell at 15 and 5 minutes and why the 20 hour figure appears only in the price list. Use 27.0 watts per cell, or 162 watts across the block, when you size against a load. Keep the 6.4 Ah for matching a replacement to whatever the old label said.
Send the slot dimensions, the terminal type on the old block and the part number printed on it. A specialist confirms the fit against CSB's drawing and quotes it with lead time in writing.
