Yuasa NP12-6 6V 12Ah VRLA Battery, FASTON Terminals
About this product
The Yuasa NP12-6 is a 6V 12Ah valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery for general purpose use. It suits installers and maintainers who need a 6V battery on float or cyclic charge. It measures 151 x 50 x 97.5 mm over the terminals and weighs 2.05 kg.
Key features
- 6V power in a standard block – 6 V nominal and 12 Ah at the 20-hr rate
- No free acid inside – Absorbed Glass Mat construction
- Comes back after heavy use – good recovery from deep discharge
- Fits awkward spaces – can be installed and operated in any orientation except permanently inverted
- Planned service life – EUROBAT Standard Commercial 3 to 5 years, Yuasa design life up to 5 years at 20°C
- Slow loss in storage – capacity loss of about 3% per month at 20°C
For installers
- Power: float charge 6.825 (±1%) V at 20°C with no current limit. Cyclic or boost charge 7.26 (±3%) V at 20°C, limited to 3 A.
- Mounting: 151 (±1) x 50 (±1) mm, 97.5 (±2) mm high over the terminals, 2.05 kg. Any orientation except permanently inverted.
- Cabling: FASTON - Quickfit / release 6.35.
- Compatibility: check the equipment's own battery and charging figures against this one, and choose a suitable charger.
- Standards: EUROBAT Standard Commercial 3 to 5 years, with ISO9001 among its certifications.
Frequently asked questions
What size is the NP12-6?
151 (±1) mm long, 50 (±1) mm wide and 97.5 (±2) mm high over the terminals. It has a mass of 2.05 kg.
What charge voltage does it need?
6.825 (±1%) V on float and 7.26 (±3%) V for cyclic or boost charging, both at 20°C. Use a charger set for lead acid batteries.
Can it be mounted on its side?
Yes. It can be installed and operated in any orientation except permanently inverted.
Can it go in a sealed box?
No. VRLA batteries release hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures in the air, so it must not be placed inside a sealed container.
How long does it last?
Yuasa gives a design life of up to 5 years at 20°C, and EUROBAT classes it Standard Commercial, 3 to 5 years. Heat and repeated deep discharge usually shorten real service life.
Is it flame retardant?
No, this one has the standard ABS case, rated UL94:HB. Yuasa also makes an FR version, rated UL94:V0.
