Yuasa Batteries
Yuasa batteries provide dependable power for emergency lighting, fire and security systems, UPS equipment and applications that regularly run from battery power. The range includes AGM lead acid batteries, compact rechargeable cells and packs, and specialist deep cycle batteries. Use the guide below to compare the ranges and choose the type that suits your equipment and how it is used.
Yuasa NP Batteries For General Standby Power
The Yuasa NP range is a practical choice for everyday backup power in compatible emergency lighting, alarms and UPS systems. Available in 6V and 12V models across a wide choice of capacities, these AGM valve regulated lead acid batteries suit equipment that normally runs from the mains and uses its battery during a power failure. NP batteries also support light cyclic use, with a Yuasa design life of up to five years at 20°C.
Choose NP when you need a dependable general purpose replacement with familiar sizes and terminal options. On the NP7-12 models, the L version has wider 6.35mm Faston terminals for equipment using those connectors, while the standard NP7-12 has 4.75mm terminals.
Yuasa NPL Batteries For Longer Standby Life
The Yuasa NPL range offers a longer standby design life for installations where reducing replacement frequency matters. Built around AGM valve regulated lead acid technology, NPL batteries are intended for float and standby use in compatible emergency lighting, UPS, fire and security, and telecoms systems. The range includes 6V and 12V models from 24Ah to 200Ah, with a Yuasa design life of up to ten years at 20°C.
Choose NPL for a longer term standby installation where your equipment supports the required battery size and specification. Its extended design life can help reduce the work involved in replacing batteries over the life of the system.
Yuasa ENL Batteries For Extended Standby Life
The Yuasa ENL range provides AGM standby batteries for compatible UPS, telecoms and other industrial backup systems where long service life and reducing replacement work are priorities. Yuasa specifies a 15-year design life at 20°C, with a Very Long Life: 12+ years EUROBAT classification. Choose ENL when your equipment calls for this battery specification and extended float or standby service is valuable.
The range includes 2V, 4V, 6V and 12V models with UL94:V0 flame retardant ABS cases. The ENL100-12 front-terminal version gives easier connection access in compatible racks and cabinets. Match voltage, rated capacity, dimensions and terminal layout to the equipment; design-life ratings depend on operating conditions and are not warranty periods.
Yuasa REC Batteries For Frequent Cycling
The Yuasa REC range is Yuasa’s premium AGM cyclic range, developed for equipment that repeatedly discharges its battery and then recharges it. Enhanced construction supports recovery from deep discharge and durability during regular cycling, making the range relevant to compatible mobility equipment, renewable energy storage and other battery powered applications. With 12V models from 10Ah to 80Ah, choose REC when repeated battery use is part of normal operation and dependable cycling performance is a priority.
Yuasa NPC Batteries For Regular Cyclic Use
The Yuasa NPC range is designed for regular charge and discharge use, with AGM construction suited to compatible mobility, golf and other cyclic applications. The 12V range runs from 24Ah to 100Ah, offering a different selection of capacities and case sizes from REC. Choose NPC when your equipment requires one of these larger cyclic batteries. Where the ranges overlap, match the capacity, dimensions and terminals to the equipment manufacturer's specification.
YU-Lite NiCd Batteries For Compatible Emergency Fittings
YU-Lite nickel cadmium batteries provide rechargeable cells and packs for emergency lighting and other industrial equipment designed for NiCd chemistry. Different cell sizes, pack layouts and connection options help match the battery to the fitting, including high temperature versions for applications that require them. Choose NiCd when replacing a specified NiCd battery in an existing luminaire or system, matching the original voltage, capacity, pack arrangement and connector.
YU-Lite NiMH Batteries For Compact Rechargeable Power
YU-Lite nickel metal hydride batteries suit compatible emergency lighting, fire and wireless security equipment where compact size and useful capacity matter. Their higher energy density can provide more capacity in a smaller cell size than an equivalent NiCd option. Single cells, assembled packs and high temperature versions are available. Choose NiMH for equipment designed to charge and use this chemistry, particularly where space inside the fitting is limited.
GS Yuasa Pro-Spec Batteries For Demanding Deep Cycle Use
GS Yuasa Pro-Spec batteries are built for machinery that experiences frequent, deep discharges, including compatible floor cleaners, access platforms and warehouse equipment. Available in 6V, 8V and 12V models, the range focuses on sustained power delivery and durability in demanding working conditions. Choose Pro-Spec when the equipment specifies a heavy duty deep cycle battery. These flooded lead acid batteries have accessible vent caps for inspection and topping up in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Choosing The Correct Yuasa Battery
Start with your equipment's specified battery type, then check voltage, capacity, dimensions, terminal layout and connections. Where a flame retardant case is specified, choose the appropriate FR model: NP and NPL FR versions use UL94:V0 ABS cases. Charging requirements also differ between battery chemistries. Manufacturer design-life ratings depend on operating conditions, and the required emergency lighting runtime depends on the complete system and its battery specification.
