Maximum performance for demanding applications
The NPW45-12 is designed for high discharge rates. Thanks to its low internal impedance, it provides high power at short notice and keeps the output voltage stable. This makes it ideal for UPS systems with short bridging times, emergency and safety lighting, fire alarm and burglar alarm systems as well as dynamic buffer loads in control and communication technology.
Efficiency meets long service life
A float charge voltage of 13.65 V ±1 per cent per block (2.275 V/cell) at 20 °C applies for standby operation. Temperature compensation is minus 3 mV per cell and degree Celsius. For cyclic or heavy charging, 14.50 V ±3 per cent per block (2.42 V/cell) is provided, with compensation of minus 4 mV per cell and degree Celsius. No current limitation is required for float charging, for heavy charging 2.125 A is recommended.
Technology for flexible applications
The permissible temperature range enables versatile applications: discharge from minus 15 °C to plus 50 °C, charging from 0 °C to plus 40 °C, storage from minus 15 °C to plus 40 °C. The robust ABS housing complies with UL94 HB, optional FR version according to UL94 V0 available. Each cell is equipped with a low-pressure relief valve for safe pressure regulation. Please ensure adequate ventilation, as VRLA batteries can release hydrogen.

FAQ about the Yuasa NPW45-12 (High-Rate VRLA)
What is the expected life of the NPW 45-12 battery?
The EUROBAT classification Standard Commercial indicates a service life of 3 to 5 years. Yuasa indicates a service life of up to 5 years in standby mode at 20 °C.
What is the NPW45-12 particularly suitable for?
For applications with high short-term power such as UPS with short autonomy, emergency and safety lighting, alarm and signalling systems as well as measurement and control technology.
How is the battery installed?
Installation is possible in any position, except permanently upside down. The connection is made via FASTON 6.35 mm. Please ensure correct polarity, tight fit of the plug-in terminals and sufficient ventilation.
Can the NPW45-12 be operated in a closed housing?
No, VRLA batteries can release hydrogen. Operation in airtight enclosures is not permitted and adequate ventilation must be ensured.
Is the NPW45-12 VdS-approved?
The official product pages/data sheets do not state VdS approval for this model. Please check the requirements of your system.
Is the NPW45-12 suitable for frequent charge/discharge cycles?
It is primarily designed for standby/high current. For pronounced cycling applications, Yuasa recommends cyclic series (e.g. NPC/REC).
