Yuasa Lead-acid battery with 12V and 17Ah - NP17-12I VDS
Product information
The Yuasa NP17-12I VDS is an industrial, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery with a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 17 Ah (20h). Thanks to leak-proof AGM technology, high current-carrying capacity and VdS certification, this maintenance-free battery is particularly suitable for safety-critical applications such as fire alarm systems, UPS systems or telecommunications.
Highlights at a glance
- High capacity: 17 Ah (20h) / 15.7 Ah (10h) at 12 V for continuous power supply.
- VdS approved: G 197022 for safety-critical applications
- Highly resilient: Up to 500 A discharge current for 1 second.
- Maintenance-free: VRLA-AGM technology with > 99% gas recombination.
- Robust design: Internal thread or bolt connection (M5) for secure mounting.
- Long-lasting: EUROBAT class “Standard Commercial” with a service life of up to 5 years.
High-performance solution for critical systems
With a capacity of 17 Ah (20-hour discharge to 1.75 V/cell) or 15.7 Ah (10-hour discharge to 1.8 V/cell), the NP17-12I delivers a reliable power supply, even during sudden load peaks of up to 500 A for 1 second. Ideal for use in safety-critical applications where consistent performance and operational reliability are essential.
Robust technology with a long service life
The maintenance-free AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology ensures a gas-tight seal with > 99% gas recombination. The battery requires no electrolyte top-up and features self-closing low-pressure vent valves for safe pressure regulation. Self-discharge is only approx. 3% per month, ideal for long-term standby.
The housing is made of durable ABS plastic (UL94:HB), and a flame-retardant version in accordance with UL94:V0 is optionally available. The connections with M5 internal thread or bolts allow for stable and secure mounting with a tightening torque of 2.45 Nm.
