Yuasa NP3.2-12RP with 12 V and 3.2 Ah
Product information
The Yuasa NP3.2-12RP is a compact, maintenance-free VRLA industrial battery from the NP series. It combines high reliability with flexible power output in standby and cyclic operation. Ideal for security systems, emergency and safety lighting, measurement and control technology, as well as small UPS and buffer applications.
Highlights at a glance
- Reliable capacity: 3.2 Ah during a 20-hour discharge to 1.75 V per cell at 30 °C.
- VdS approved: G 118039 for safety-critical applications
- Cycle and float operation: Suitable for float or cyclic operation, with very good recovery after deep discharge.
- Flexible installation: Operation is possible in any position, except permanently overhead.
- Low self-discharge: Approximately 3 per cent per month at 20 °C.
- Easy installation: 4.8 mm FASTON plug-in connectors.
Maximum performance for compact applications
The NP3.2-12RP delivers stable voltage and short load peaks in confined spaces. The AGM glass fibre mat securely binds the electrolyte and the valve-regulated recombination minimises gassing. This makes the battery suitable for fire and burglar alarm systems, portable measuring devices, control systems, telecommunications, and as a buffer source in small energy and solar systems.
Efficiency meets long service life
The EUROBAT Standard Commercial classification indicates a typical service life of 3 to 5 years in float mode at 20 °C. For float applications, a continuous float charging voltage of 2.275 V per cell is recommended, with temperature compensation of minus 3 mV per cell per degree Celsius. The very low self-discharge rate supports long storage life and standby operation.
Technology for flexible applications
The permissible temperature range enables versatile applications. Charging from minus 15 °C to plus 50 °C, discharging from minus 20 °C to plus 60 °C, storage from minus 20 °C to plus 50 °C. The robust ABS housing is impact-resistant and is available optionally as a flame-retardant FR version. The battery must not be operated in gas-tight enclosures and requires adequate ventilation.

H2: FAQs on the Yuasa NP 3.2-12RP battery
What is the expected service life of the NP 3.2-12RP?
In float mode at 20 °C, the typical service life in the EUROBAT Standard Commercial class is 3 to 5 years.
What applications is the battery suitable for?
For fire and burglar alarm systems, safety and emergency lighting, measurement and control technology, telecommunications, small UPS systems, as well as buffer and solar applications.
How is the battery installed?
Installation is possible in any position, except permanently overhead. The electrical connection is made via FASTON 4.8 mm plug-in terminals. Please ensure correct polarity, a secure fit and adequate ventilation.
What charging voltage is recommended for standby operation?
For float operation, 2.275 V per cell at 20 °C with temperature compensation of minus 3 mV per cell per degree Celsius. For cyclic use, please follow the characteristic curve-based specifications of the charger.
Can the battery be operated in a sealed enclosure?
No, VRLA batteries release hydrogen gas and must not be operated in airtight enclosures. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Is the NP3.2/12RP suitable for series or parallel connections?
In principle, yes, provided the installation is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, such as identical cable routing per string, appropriate fusing and ventilation. Guidance can be found in the Yuasa application and installation documents.
