Product information

The Yuasa NP10-6 VDS is a maintenance-free, valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery with a nominal voltage of 6 volts and a capacity of 10 Ah. Thanks to AGM technology, robust construction and VdS certification, this battery is particularly suitable for safety-critical systems, such as in fire alarm technology, emergency lighting or industrial applications.

Highlights at a glance

  • High capacity: 10 Ah at 6 V – reliable power for many applications.
  • VdS approved: G 186010 for safety-related applications
  • Maintenance-free: AGM technology with > 99% gas recombination.
  • Compact design: Just 151 × 50 × 97.5 mm, ideal for limited installation space.
  • Long-lasting: EUROBAT classification “Standard Commercial” with a service life of up to 5 years.

Reliable power for safety-critical applications

With a capacity of 9.2 Ah at a 10-hour discharge rate (down to 1.8 V/cell at 20 °C), the NP10-6 delivers consistent performance over a long period. The maximum discharge current is 300 A for 1 second, making it ideal for short-term high-current applications as well.

Technology for demanding operating conditions

The VRLA design with AGM technology ensures maintenance-free, gas-tight operation without the need for electrolyte top-ups. Each cell is equipped with a low-pressure relief valve that safely regulates the internal pressure and closes automatically after opening.

 

The low self-discharge rate of only approx. 3% per month makes the battery particularly suitable for long-term storage. The recommended charging voltage is 6.825 V in float mode and 7.26 V in cyclic operation. The maximum charging current is 2.5 A during cyclic use; in float mode, no limitation is required.
