Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the expected lifespan of the Yuasa NP12-12 battery?

Under typical float conditions (25°C / 77°F) and with proper maintenance, the expected service life is typically 3 to 5 years. Cyclic life depends heavily on depth of discharge and frequency of cycles.

Can I use this battery in any orientation?

Yes, the sealed construction allows it to be used in any orientation except continuously inverted. However, for optimal performance and safety, upright or on its side is generally recommended.

How often should I charge the battery if it's in storage?

If stored at around 25°C (77°F), it's recommended to recharge the battery every 6 to 12 months to maintain its charge and prolong its lifespan.

What does 'Valve Regulated' mean?

It means the battery has a built-in safety valve that releases excess internal pressure caused by overcharging or high temperatures. This prevents the battery from rupturing while still maintaining a sealed environment for recombination of gases.

What is the difference between float and cyclic use?

Float use is when the battery is kept on a continuous low charge to maintain readiness, typically in UPS systems. Cyclic use involves frequent discharging and recharging, such as in portable devices or solar power storage.

How do I dispose of an old Yuasa NP12-12 battery?

Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Please contact your local waste management or recycling center for proper disposal guidelines. Do not dispose of in regular household waste.

Troubleshooting

Battery not holding charge

Ensure the charger is functioning correctly and is compatible with VRLA 12V batteries. Check charging voltage and current. Battery may be nearing end-of-life if regularly deeply discharged or if it's several years old.

Device powers down immediately after AC power loss

Verify battery is fully charged and properly connected. Check if battery is old or has been deeply discharged repeatedly. Ensure the device's power consumption does not exceed the battery's capacity.

Battery case is swollen

This indicates potential overcharging or exposure to high temperatures. Discontinue use immediately and replace the battery. Ensure proper ventilation and charging parameters.

Corrosion on terminals

Carefully disconnect the battery. Clean the terminals with a wire brush or terminal cleaner. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to prevent future corrosion. Ensure connections are tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable and stable power output.
  • Long service life due to advanced technology.
  • Sealed design prevents leaks and allows flexible mounting.
  • Minimal maintenance required.
  • Good performance even after deep discharge cycles.

Cons

  • Relatively heavy at 4.05 kg, requiring secure installation.
  • Requires appropriate charging methods to maximize lifespan.
  • Not suitable for continuous inverted operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the battery is installed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources.
  2. Mount the battery securely to prevent movement, especially given its weight.
  3. Connect the battery terminals using appropriate gauge wiring and ensuring correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).
  4. Connect the battery to your device or charging system, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

  • This battery is designed for 12V systems. Always confirm compatibility with your specific UPS, alarm panel, or other 12V equipment.
  • Ensure your charging system is designed for Sealed Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries with a similar capacity (12Ah).

Care:

  • Charging: Use a charger specifically designed for VRLA batteries. Overcharging or undercharging can significantly reduce battery life. For float applications, maintain a constant voltage of approximately 2.27V per cell at 25°C (77°F).
  • Temperature: Operate within the recommended temperature range (typically 20°C to 25°C for optimal performance and lifespan). Avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Cleaning: Keep the battery terminals clean. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: If storing the battery, charge it fully before storage and recharge approximately every 6 months to a year (depending on storage temperature) to maintain its charge.
