Yuasa YBX5110 12V 85Ah 800A Silver High Performance Battery

Product Information

They provide dependable starting power, exceptional corrosion resistance and the performance to handle the demands of today’s modern vehicles. If the battery is stored, handled or fitted incorrectly, if the connectors leads are hammered onto terminals, leads are not correctly fastened, the battery will have damage to casing and/or terminals. This is not a manufacturing fault.

Nevertheless, it should be clearly understood that wet (filled) lead acid battery is “a live” product. Whether it is in storage or in service, it has a finite life. All batteries once filled will slowly self discharge. The higher the storage temperature and humidity of the storage area, the greater the rate of self discharge. D. Charge the battery for the number of hours shown in the table below depending on the open-circuit voltage. 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. 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.C. Note. The majority of constant potential chargers are incapable of charging a severely over discharged (below 11.00V) battery in a realistic period of time. A minimum of 24 hours is normal. It might be impossible to charge an over discharged battery. Modified Constant Potential Chargers 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. E. If you are charging a battery below 11.00V (over discharged) that has been in service, a specialised charger capable of providing a very high charging voltage may be necessary, and the recommended current may not be obtainable at first. In this case, monitor the current and adjust as necessary during the charge. If a battery has become over discharged, it will have lost both life and performance because of irreversible sulphation. Charging may reduce further its potential life. Constant Potential Chargers This Yuasa YBX5110 12v 85Ah Silver High Performance SMF Battery features specialist internal components, unique design features and cutting edge technologies to combat the causes of battery failure and deliver reliability, long life and superior performance. Electrical fault e.g. interior boot/glove box lighting, ECU/sensor interface issues where vehicle does not go into “Sleep” after parking for more than 5 minutes, wiper
motor fault

Different battery manufacturing design techniques can significantly effect the reading on one digital conductance tester as common algorithms have to be used. For example, batteries designed with more durability in mind tend to carry more material and higher density, this is usually reflected in a lower initial voltage, but longer discharge times. Digital testers can only determine realistically the initial internal resistance of the battery at the particular state of battery, not how much material is available. This can cause considerable difference between the indicated CCA data and the real CCA data obtained in a laboratory under real current loads to the appropriate battery standard specified.Due to the high demands of the OEM market and the technical and manufacturing standards of Yuasa batteries, the rate of genuine manufacturing faults is negligible. There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers Yuasa are one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers of valve regulated lead-acid batteries with global manufacturing plants and an extensive marketing and distribution network throughout the UK and Europe. The battery applications are for UK-supplied vehicles only. Imported vehicles may require a different battery. Please visit your local Halfords Superstore for further details. There are many different types of hand held digital conductance tester on the market. They generally give a good indication
of problems but the following points should always be taken
into account.

It should be noted that a vehicle fitted originally by manufacturer with an AGM battery should be replaced only with an AGM battery. Likewise, a vehicle originally fitted with an EFB battery should only be replaced by and EFB or AGM battery. 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. Typically seen in a battery within 12 months service life. One cell will show a dramatically lower acid specific gravity reading than the others. The problem cell will usually boil visibly under a high discharge, all other remaining cells will show a good specific gravity reading of 1.26 or above. Short Circuit/dead cells seen in later life are usually associated with the recovery of a sulphated/overdischarged battery. It is possible to see variable acid specific gravities between cells if sulphation is the route cause. 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 The Yuasa HSB110 Silver 12V Car Battery 5 Year Guarantee allows around 50,000 engine starts as compared to around 20,000 on a normal battery. The Silver car batteries come fully charged, ready to fit, and are completely maintenance-free.If the alternator regulator is not set properly, or alternator voltage control circuit fails, then the battery can be subjected to an excessive charge. B. Never boost-charge any battery that is below 11.00 Volts as it will be too sulphated to accept a charge; scrap the battery or charge normally. CCA readings can be measured according to a number of international standard SAE, EN, DIN or IEC, Within the EN 50342: 2006 standard two requirements are listed: EN1 & EN2. Typical Conductance testers are calibrated toward EN2 standard, however the ETN numbering system makes it difficult for the normal man to understand which standard is being used on the battery.

Stop charging if the battery begins to gas freely (some gassing is normal during the last stages of charging) or if the battery temperature rises above 50°C.Yuasa lead-acid batteries are built to the highest standards. They are manufactured, in most cases to correspond with or exceed the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements and specifications.
