Amazon Customer: I use this with a backup lighting system. The bulb is 11 watts and the battery can power it for about 7 hours, so it is indeed a 7 amp-hour battery. i have bought this same battery before from other sellers, and theirs were likely counterfeits, since the capacity of the battery was nowhere near 7 amp-hours, and they simply die and will not charge after only about 10 cycles. This one I bought from this seller is performing like this model number has for me over the last 25 yrs, when it is a genuine Yuasa battery, so I think this is a true Yuasa, which are great batteries. It will last a long time in my application. Thanks for selling a genuine Yuasa and not a counterfeit!!

Jeff f.: Solid performance from a known good vendor of SLA batteries, able to provide power for longer periods of time than others.

PHill: This is the second battery of this type that I have purchased as a backup battery in my security system. It performs well during power outages. I do change out this battery every three years as part of my security maintenance plan. I have had no performance issue with this battery. I will continue to purchase this battery for my application.

Electronicbuff: I have serviced and installed security systems for 15+yrs and you learn what works well and what doesn't. Many brands of 12v 7ah batteries for security systems have a short life span and often the business/homeowner won't know until its too late. Higher end systems automatically test the batteries for reliability.

Quality of Brands:
The Yuasa Brand has always been my favorite over the years. Customers that I supplied this brand to had their batteries outlast most of the other well known brands out there. Using the unknown brands was tried by our company for a time but the failure rate was too high and we'd go back to the Yuasa. The Yuasa Genesis is a different beast, which I also avoid. You can often tell a good battery by the weight of the lead-acid. If the battery was lighter than the Yuasa I'd know right off that the lead used inside was cheaper and usually this was proven by a quicker failure.

Life Expectancy:
These batteries should last about 4 years when used as a standby battery. My personal security system tests the battery every 24 hours and mine typically last near the 4yr mark depending on the number of power failure my area has...

Dave: The title clearly states is an NP7-12FR, but the battery I received is an NP7-12. It's still a battery, but not what I ordered. They have another listing for the NP7-12, so that's what I would have ordered had I wanted that type of battery. If you're looking for the NP7-12FR, don't buy this.
