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

Product Information

B. Stop charging when the battery is gassing freely and the battery-voltage shows no increase over a period of at least 2 hours. 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.

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). 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. 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.Specially designed & constructed for the rigours of commercial, agricultural & plant vehicle applications

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 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. 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. 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.

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 There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers

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.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.
