Yuasa 12V 7Ah SLA (NP7-12FR)

Model: Yuasa NP7-12FR Type: Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA), sealed (maintenance-free) Nominal Voltage: 12V Capacity: 7Ah (at 20-hour rate) Design life: Typically 3–5 years in standby use Flame Retardant: Yes (“FR” indicates flame-resistant case material) Key Features Maintenance-free design Fully sealed construction means no electrolyte topping-up is required. Spill-proof and leak-resistant Uses absorbed glass mat (AGM) technology to immobilise the electrolyte. Flame-retardant ABS case The casing meets UL94 V-0 flame-retardant standards, improving safety in fire-sensitive environments. Rechargeable and versatile Suitable for both float (standby) and cyclic applications. Low self-discharge rate Retains charge well during storage, making it dependable for backup systems. Wide operating temperature range Typically operates effectively from around -20°C to +60°C (performance varies with conditions). Typical Physical Characteristics Dimensions (approx.): Length: 151 mm Width: 65 mm Height: 97.5 mm Weight: ~2.3 kg Terminal type: Faston (spade) terminals, usually 4.8 mm or 6.3 mm depending on variant Common Applications The NP7-12FR is widely used in standby and backup systems, including: Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) Emergency lighting systems Fire and security alarm panels Telecommunications equipment Medical devices Mobility scooters and small DC systems (light cyclic use) Charging & Usage Notes Float voltage: ~13.5–13.8V Cycle voltage: ~14.4–15.0V Recommended charge current: Typically ≤2.1A (0.3C max guideline)
