Small UPS uninterruptible power supply, fire emergency lighting

Security alarm host, access controller

Strumentazione, medical backup power supply

Parking lock, small emergency light, electric toys

Selezione & Linee guida per la sostituzione

1. Three priority criteria for replacement: 12V, 2.6Ah capacity, F1 0.187 inch tab terminal; keep housing dimensions as consistent as possible.
2. Ordinary HB housing batteries are not recommended to replace FR flame-retardant version. Fire and security equipment are subject to mandatory flame retardancy requirements.
3. Float charge applications must strictly control float voltage. High ambient temperature will drastically shorten service life.
4. Over-discharge is prohibited; discharge cut-off voltage shall not be lower than 10.5V. Severe under-discharge will cause irreversible capacity degradation.

Guida alla risoluzione dei problemi

Open-circuit voltage below 12.0V: Likely undercharged. Recharge with low constant current first; voltage below 10.5V usually means battery failure.

Voltage drops rapidly after charging: Internal plate sulfation or short circuit in single cell, replace directly.

Bulging or overheating housing: Overcharging, check if charger voltage drifts.

Note sulla selezione (Key Points for FR Version)

NP2.6-12FR adopts UL94-V0 flame-retardant housing. FR model must be used for fire and security projects. Ordinary NP2.6-12 (non-flame-retardant housing) cannot substitute FR version for fire equipment acceptance. This battery is designed mainly for float standby service, not for continuous high-power or frequent deep discharge scenarios.

YUASA NP2.6-12FR Outline Dimensions (Original Spec, Unità: mm)

Lunghezza(l): 70 mm

Larghezza(W): 48 mm

Case Height(H, excluding terminals): 94 mm

Altezza totale(TH, including F1 terminals): 99 mm

Tolleranza: Length/Width ±1mm, Overall Height ±2mm

Peso: ca. 0.9 kg

terminale: F1 4.75mm (0.187 pollice) quick-disconnect tab

Osservazioni: NP2.6-12 and NP2.6-12FR have identical outer casing dimensions. FR only indicates flame-retardant UL94-V0 housing with no dimension difference.

Recommended reserved space for enclosure installation: 72×50×101mm

YUASA NP2.6-12FR Operating Temperature (YUASA NP Series Spec)

Discharge Temperature: -15℃ ~ +45 ℃

Charge Temperature: -15℃ ~ +40 ℃

Temperatura di conservazione: -15℃ ~ +50 ℃

✅ Recommended optimal ambient temperature: 20～25℃. 25℃ is the reference temperature for rated capacity and service life.

⚠️ Important Reminders

1. Long-term operation above 25℃ will significantly shorten battery life; service life halves roughly for every 8~10℃ rise.
2. Available discharge capacity decreases at low temperature; runtime reduces under sub-zero conditions.
3. Charging must not exceed upper limit +40℃, otherwise bulging and thermal runaway risk may occur.
4. Temperature compensation is recommended for float charging: -3mV/℃ per cell.

YUASA NP2.6-12FR Weight

ca. 0.9 kg (nominal weight from original manufacturer, including electrolyte)

Imperial conversion: ≈1.98 lbs

Osservazioni:

1. NP2.6-12 and NP2.6-12FR share identical internal plates and electrolyte. FR only refers to flame-retardant modified housing with no weight difference.
2. Mass production tolerance: typically ±0.05kg.
3. Net weight of finished product, excluding packaging.

YUASA NP2.6-12FR Voltage Parameters

Nominal Output Voltage: DC 12V

Voltage at Different States (@25℃)

1. Fully charged open-circuit voltage: ca. 12.8～13.0V
2. Float operating voltage (standby mode): 13.65V ±0.15V
3. Cycle charging voltage: 14.4～15.0V
4. 20HR standard discharge cut-off voltage: 10.5V (Stop discharge once reaching this value; continued discharge will damage the battery)

Note supplementari:

Under loaded discharge, voltage gradually drops as SOC decreases. Larger load causes larger instantaneous voltage drop.

Temperature affects voltage: Temperature coefficient -3mV/℃ per cell, total -18mV/℃ for 6 cells.

Open-circuit voltage below 12.0V indicates undercharged battery; prolonged voltage below 10.5V easily causes irreversible plate sulfation and scrapping.
