Its compact size and reliable output make it a popular choice across both commercial and domestic installations.

The Yuasa NP7-12 measures approximately 151mm (L) x 65mm (W) x 97.5mm (H), with an overall height of around 100mm including the terminals. It weighs roughly 2.65kg. We recommend checking these measurements against your existing battery or equipment bay before ordering to confirm a correct fit.
Is this battery maintenance-free?
Yes. The NP7-12 is a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, which means it is sealed and does not require topping up with water or electrolyte. You can mount it in most orientations without risk of leakage, making it suitable for enclosed cabinets and tight spaces.
How long does the Yuasa NP7-12 last?
In standby (float) use, the NP7-12 typically delivers a service life of three to five years, depending on ambient temperature and charging conditions. Frequent deep discharges or exposure to high temperatures will shorten its lifespan. Keeping the battery on a properly regulated float charger helps maximise longevity.
