EnerSys Introduces Genesis NP9-12 Battery for UPS and Portable Generator Applications

June 26, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

EnerSys® has announced the introduction of the Genesis® NP9-12 battery to the Genesis family of products. Measuring 5.94 x 2.56 x and 4.02 inche, it has the same footprint as Genesis NP7-12 and the DataSafe® NPX35-12 batteries, but provides greater power for applications that require increased amp hours (Ah) and watts per cell (WPC). The Genesis NP9-12 is not only well suited for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, but also for portable generator applications.

"The quality and reliability of the Genesis battery has proven to be ideal for UPS applications," said Dave McMullen, director of commercial marketing for specialty and UPS markets. "The introduction of the NP9-12 now allows the brand to be introduced into additional market segments that have used NP7-12 or NPX35-12 batteries, but could use more power with the same footprint."

The Genesis NP9-12 battery’s specifications include 9.0Ah nominal capacity, compared with 7.0Ah for the Genesis NP7-12 battery, and 36 WPC, compared with 35 WPC for the DataSafe NPX35-12. It is available with a .250 terminal or an M5 bolt.

Available in cases made of standard ABS resin or optional flame-retardant material, the Genesis NP9-12 battery is constructed for leak-proof operation in any position, except inverted. Heavy-duty lead calcium tin alloy grids provide an additional margin of performance and service life in demanding applications. Genesis batteries are maintenance free, absorbed glass mat (AGM)-type valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. There is no need to check the electrolyte gravity or add water during their life.
