Yuasa 12V 17Ah VRLA Battery

Description

When grid instability threatens your electronic security infrastructure, access control panels, or commercial backup systems, dependable energy storage is non-negotiable. Biosys Solutions Ltd delivers world-class power stability with the original Yuasa 12V 17Ah VRLA Battery (Model: NP17-12I)—globally recognized as the definitive industry benchmark for quality and durability in standby power applications.

Advanced AGM Technology & Gas Recombination

The Yuasa NP17-12I utilizes advanced Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) construction, eliminating free acid inside the casing. Electrolyte is completely absorbed within specialized glass fiber separators, enabling safe operation in virtually any orientation (excluding continuous inverted use). Built-in low-pressure safety valves ensure a gas recombination efficiency of over 99%, making it entirely maintenance-free throughout its service life.

Robust Capacity & Deep Discharge Recovery

Engineered with heavy-duty lead-calcium grids, the battery delivers exceptional cyclic performance and superb recovery characteristics following deep-discharge events. With a nominal 12V output and a 17Ah capacity (at a 20-hour rate), it provides steady, clean current to keep your security installations operational during extended power outages.

Precision Engineering & Dimensions

Measuring a compact 181mm in length, 76mm in width, and 167mm in height (with secure M5 threaded female internal terminals), it fits seamlessly into standard UPS chassis, alarm metal boxes, and auxiliary power enclosures.
