Yuasa YBX3642-110 12V 110Ah 925A Super Heavy Duty SMF Commercial Vehicle Battery

Product Information

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. YBX5000 batteries are designed for high performance vehicles with high power demands and for regular overnight stays with hotel loads. 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.

C. Charge the battery at the recommended charge rate. If you cannot set the recommended rate, extend or reduce the charging time on a pro rata basis. For example, if the recommendation is to charge the battery at 4.0A for 6 hours (24Ah = 4.0 x 6), charge the battery for 12 hours if you can only set the charger at 2.0A (24Ah = 2.0 x 12). 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. 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. 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.

Based on the battery manufacturers market leading YBX automotive ranges, Yuasas new Super Heavy Duty range replaces Yuasas Cargo ranges. It features three levels of conventional flooded types, plus Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) options. Cargo SHD batteries are maintenance possible not impossible, the batteries are designed to be topped up if water loss has occurred. Excess water loss can be caused by many things, amongst the most common are a charging system fault, prolonged operation in hot climates and excessive off vehicle charging. All Cargo SHD batteries conform to the relevant section of EN50342:2006 for maintenance free characteristics (LWL – low water loss). This means that when used in approved vehicle applications that operate in normal conditions, it is not necessary to add water to the battery. They have an M1 micro-cycle endurance rating, XVR and are SMF. They are also suitable for end of chassis location. 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.

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 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 Specially designed & constructed for the rigours of commercial, agricultural & plant vehicle applications OE Quality, Performance & Specification Performance - Compared to Conventional Automotive Batteries A. Boost charging is not recommended except in exceptional circumstances e.g. a stranded customer, as this will reduce battery life, especially if a battery is boost-charged more than once.

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. 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 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. Featuring the very latest technology and a host of advanced safety features, all batteries in the range are of Original Equipment (OE) quality and performance. Their advanced construction and unparalleled innovation make them the most reliable commercial vehicle batteries Yuasa has ever produced.

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. 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. Alpha Batteries bears no responsibility for whatsoever for loss occurred due to late or failed deliveries. There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers A. Ideally, charge each battery on a separate charger unit. If this is not possible, charge batteries in series. We do not recommend charging batteries in parallel because it is not possible to control the amount of current passing through each battery. If batteries in different states-of-charge are being charged in series, each battery should be removed as soon as it is charged. (If you wait until the last battery is charged, some of the batteries will be overcharged).
