Yuasa Lead-acid battery with 12V and 7Ah - NP7-12
Product information
The Yuasa NP7-12 is a high-performance, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts and a capacity of 7 Ah. It impresses with its reliable performance, robust construction and versatility, making it ideal for industrial applications, security and emergency power systems.
Highlights at a glance
- Reliable capacity: 7 Ah at 12 V for a constant power supply.
- VdS approved: G 189099 for safety-critical applications
- Compact design: 151 × 65 × 97.5 mm, ideal for limited installation space.
- Flexible installation: Can be installed in any position, except permanently upside down.
- Maintenance-free: VRLA technology with low-pressure vent valves.
- Long-lasting: EUROBAT ‘Standard Commercial’ classification for up to 5 years’ service life.
- High current capacity: Up to 210 A discharge current for 1 second.
Rugged performance for demanding applications
The NP7-12 offers a 20-hour capacity of 7 Ah (up to 1.75 V/cell at 20 °C) and a 10-hour capacity of 6.4 Ah (up to 1.8 V/cell). Thanks to its high current-carrying capacity of up to 210 A for 1 second, the battery is particularly suitable for emergency power systems, UPS systems and safety-critical applications.
Maintenance-free operation and long service life
The NP7-12 is classified as ‘Standard Commercial’ according to EUROBAT and offers a service life of up to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. Self-discharge is only approx. 3% per month, which ensures a high level of operational readiness even during prolonged storage.
The casing is made of durable ABS plastic (UL94:HB) and is available in a flame-retardant version (UL94:V0) on request. The battery complies with the ISO 9001 quality standard.
Easy integration and reliable technology
The battery is fitted with Faston connectors (4.75 mm) and can be easily integrated into almost any system. It can be installed in any position, except permanently upside down.
Each of the six cells is fitted with a low-pressure relief valve which closes automatically once pressure has been equalised, ensuring maintenance-free and safe operation. The recommended charging voltage for float charging is 13.65 V (±1%) per block; for cyclic operation, it is 14.5 V (±3%). The maximum charging current is 1.75 A in cyclic operation; there is no limit for float charging.

FAQs on the Yuasa 12V, 7Ah lead-acid battery
How long does the NP7-12 last?
The NP7-12 offers a service life of up to 5 years at an ambient temperature of 20 °C and meets the EUROBAT ‘Standard Commercial’ category.
What applications is the battery suitable for?
The battery is suitable for:
- UPS systems
- Fire detection and alarm systems
- Medical devices
- Emergency lighting
- Telecommunications and control systems
Is flexible installation possible?
Yes, the battery can be used in almost any position; only a permanently upside-down mounting position should be avoided.
What safety features are built in?
The battery features a robust ABS casing and low-pressure relief valves for safe gas pressure regulation. A flame-retardant casing is available as an option.
How and using which parameters should the NP7‑12 be charged correctly?
- Float charging voltage: 13.65 V block voltage (2.275 V/cell) at 20 °C, temperature compensation –3 mV/cell/°C.
- Cyclic (boost) charging voltage: 14.5 V block (2.42 V/cell), compensated by –4 mV/cell/°C.
- Recommended charging current for cyclic operation: up to approx. 1.75 A (~0.25 C)
What is the maximum discharge current and how good is the deep-discharge protection?
- Short-term peak current (1 sec.): 210 A,
- 1-minute current: 48 A
- Internal impedance: approx. 23 mΩ at 1 kHz.
The battery recovers excellently after deep discharge and is structurally robust
What is the rate of self-discharge during storage, and what should be borne in mind?
At 20 °C, the self-discharge rate is approximately 3 % per month. The NP7‑12 can be stored for up to 12 months, provided it is recharged regularly. It should be stored at temperatures between –20 °C and +60 °C, ideally at a maximum of +30 °C.
