12 Volt Battery Price in Pakistan: Sizes, Types and Uses
Almost every lead-acid battery sold in Pakistan is a 12 volt battery, from a small 26Ah dry block to a 330Ah tall tubular. The 12V battery price depends on its Ah, its type and its brand, and today's price is shown on each product card. This guide explains what 12V means, the 12V sizes we sell, how 24V and 48V banks are built from 12V batteries, and how to read a 12V battery's voltage.

What makes a battery 12 volt?
A lead-acid cell makes about 2 volts. A 12V battery is simply six cells joined inside one case. That is why you see six caps or six float indicators on a flooded 12V battery. A fully charged 12V lead-acid battery actually rests at about 12.6 to 12.8V, and it charges at around 14V or more.
A "12 volt DC battery" is the same thing: every battery gives direct current (DC). The UPS or inverter turns it into the 220V AC your fans use.
12V battery sizes we sell
- Small 12V (26 to 55Ah): Long WP26-12, UI-33H, WP40-12 and WP55-12N, Leoch LP12-38, and the Exide HP 80 flooded battery. For routers, CCTV and small UPS.
- Medium 12V (60 to 130Ah): Exide HP 110 and HP 150, Phoenix UGS and EXT, Osaka HT-IPS 1200, Daewoo DSS-140 and DIB-135, and dry Long and Leoch blocks. For a 1 kVA home UPS.
- Large 12V (140 to 230Ah): the 1800 to 2500 class tall tubular batteries, Exide HP 230 to HP 275, Daewoo DIB-180 to DIB-260 and 200Ah gel blocks. For long cuts and solar.
- Very large 12V (250 to 330Ah): Exide TR-3000 and TR-3500, AGS EC-3500, Osaka HT-3500 and HT-4000, Volta VT 4000.
Small 12V 7Ah and 18Ah sealed batteries are not on our current list.
12V batteries for cars and trucks
Car, truck and tractor batteries are also 12V, but they are starting batteries. They give a big burst of current for a few seconds and are then recharged by the alternator. Examples are the AGS GL and GR range, Osaka MF and HT car batteries, Phoenix XP and Exide N. They are a poor choice for daily UPS use. See the car battery page (Car Battery) or the size chart (Car Battery Size Chart: Which Battery Fits Your Car?).
24V and 48V from 12V batteries
Bigger UPS and solar inverters run at 24V or 48V. You build those voltages by joining identical 12V batteries in series:
- 24V: two 12V batteries.
- 48V: four 12V batteries.
Series wiring adds voltage but keeps the Ah the same, so two 12V 200Ah batteries make a 24V 200Ah bank that stores twice the energy. The Phoenix VR24-150 is a rare single-block 24V 150Ah battery. Our compare page on 12V vs 24V vs 48V (12V vs 24V vs 48V Lithium Battery: Voltage Compared) explains which system voltage suits your home, and the connection guide (How to Connect Batteries to a UPS: Series and Parallel Wiring) shows the wiring.
6V and 2V batteries
Some people search "6 volt battery price" or "2 volt battery price". 6V batteries are three cells and are used in some golf carts, toys and old systems; we do not list them. 2V cells are single big cells used to build large, long-life banks for telecom and solar: the Narada EoSG-300, EoSG-400 and EoSG-600 are 2V gel cells of 300 to 600Ah. You need six of them in series for 12V, twelve for 24V and twenty-four for 48V. See our gel battery page (Gel Battery).
12V battery voltage chart
Measure a lead-acid battery with a multimeter after it has rested for a few hours off charge. As a general guide for a 12V battery:
- 12.6V or more: about full.
- 12.4V: about three-quarters.
- 12.2V: about half. Recharge soon.
- 12.0V: about a quarter.
- 11.8V or less: flat. Recharge at once to avoid sulphation.
The exact numbers vary a little by type and temperature, so check the maker's sheet. Our battery test guide (How to Test a 12V Battery at Home: Voltage, Gravity and Load) explains the full test.
12V lead-acid or 12V lithium?
A 12V lithium (LiFePO4) battery gives almost twice the usable energy of a lead-acid battery with the same Ah, needs no water and weighs much less. It costs more and needs a UPS or inverter that can charge it correctly. Compare models on our 12V lithium battery page (12V Lithium Battery).
How to choose a 12V battery
- Write down what must run during a cut and add the watts.
- Decide how many hours you need.
- Divide watts x hours by about 5.1 to get the Ah of one 12V lead-acid battery. For 300W over 3 hours that is about 176Ah, so a 185Ah battery.
- Pick the type: tubular for daily long cuts, flooded flat plate for short cuts, sealed dry or gel for no water.
- Check that your UPS is 12V. If it is 24V, buy two identical batteries.
