Switch on the charger. See below for the correct charging conditions depending on your type of charger. In the event that you receive a faulty or incorrect item from Arnold Clark Autoparts, please let us know as soon as you can so that we can arrange a replacement. OE Quality, Performance & Specification Performance - Compared to Conventional Automotive Batteries Yuasas commercial vehicle batteries are already trusted by leading commercial vehicle manufacturers who demand the best and fit GS Yuasa batteries as standard. The new YBX Super Heavy Duty range has been developed to meet the increasing specifications of these top vehicle brands. We are unable to ship to the following post codes on any service but may be able to obtain a quote:

The Yuasa Cargo SHD batteries will cope with the most demanding commercial applications such as vehicles with tail lifts, agricultural vehicles, passenger service vehicles and where vehicles have sleeper cabs fitted with numerous electrical devices. B. These chargers should be able to charge over discharged (below 11.00V) batteries. Note that some have a special setting for all-calcium batteries. Constant Current Chargers YBX5000 batteries are designed for high performance vehicles with high power demands and for regular overnight stays with hotel loads. All batteries once filled with electrolyte become active, and will slowly self-discharge. The higher the temperature that they are stored at, the higher this self discharge rate will be.GS Yuasa Battery Europe Ltd have launched their all new Yuasa YBX Super Heavy Duty battery range for commercial vehicles. The four-tiered range is available now and provides one of the most comprehensive and highest specification offers on the market.

The YBX3642 has an extra plate in the battery, fitting the lower specification YBX3640 / 640HD (or equivalent part in other brands) on these applications can lead to premature failure or poor performance from the battery. The batteries are among the first in the UK and Ireland to carry EN50342-1/6 European Standard performance markings which were recently introduced. Every battery in the range has undergone extensive performance testing and having passed stringent requirements, has earned a classification number for Water Loss (W1 W5), Charge Retention (C1 C2), Vibration Level (V1-V4), Endurance (E1 E4) or Micro Cycle performance (M1 M3). These provide a very high initial current, and are used mainly to put some charge into a flat battery when it is needed urgently by the customer. The current falls as the battery state-of-charge increases, and the battery temperature is monitored to make sure it does not overheat. These maintain a fixed, constant, pre-set current throughout the charging period irrespective of the battery on-charge voltage. Do not charge AGM batteries on a constant current charger. Batteries in the YBX7000 EFB and YBX5000 ranges feature Yuasas XVR Extreme Vibration Resistance. This means that they have a vibration resistance of over eight times V4. V4 is the highest level rating that European standard EN50342 requires. Batteries in these ranges, plus all YBX3000 DIN types, are suitable for rear chassis location fitting.

YBX3000 types are the ideal choice for vehicles with standard power demands and occasional overnight stops. These SMF types have an E2 endurance rating. They also have a superior vibration resistance rating of V3 with DIN types being V4 and suitable for end of chassis location. If you are using a constant-current charger or a boost-charger, remove the vent-plugs or manifolds before charging. There is no need to remove the vent-plugs or manifolds if you are using a constant-potential or a ‘smart’ charger. It is good practice to wait for about 20 minutes for the gases to clear before removing the leads from the battery as some chargers remain ‘live’ and can cause a spark.

The majority of commercial chargers, particularly home-chargers, are of this type, and allow neither the voltage nor the current to be preset. Use the same procedure as for Constant Potential Chargers in the paragraph above. Boost Chargers When fitting the charger to the battery, connect the positive lead to the positive terminal and the negative lead to the negative terminal. YBX7000 EFB are the premium choice for high power demands, end of chassis location and are also suitable for vehicles with Start Stop. Built with EFB technology, they feature an electrolyte mixing device to extend battery life and are ideal for frequent overnight stays where hotel loads are applied. Batteries in the range are sealed maintenance free (SMF) with a sealed lid, have XVR and offer an M1 micro-cycle endurance rating. Yuasa has designed the batteries for the Cargo SHD range with more emphasis on cycling durability than starting power, so the plates used have higher paste densities. To recover the consequential loss in starting performance, more active material has been added to maintain a similar level of performance as the standard Cargo range.Note. Many customers severely underestimate the amount of time necessary to charge a flat battery. This results in customers returning batteries saying that they have charged the battery but that it is still not holding charge. Specially designed & constructed for the rigours of commercial, agricultural & plant vehicle applications

These maintain a fixed, constant, pre-set voltage throughout the charging period. The current cannot be set and will fall as the battery state-of-charge increases.There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers B. Stop charging when the battery is gassing freely and the battery-voltage shows no increase over a period of at least 2 hours.
