Yuasa YBX3075 12V 60Ah 550A SMF Battery

Product Information

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.

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 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. For example, if the battery has a voltage of 12.16V, charge it for 10 hours at the recommended charge rate. Considerable investment in European manufacturing facilities, the establishment of a European network of 6 wholly owned companies, and the constant search by Yuasa to provide even more reliable power from smaller batteries, has resulted in the company's current position and proud claim to be No.1 in Europe!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. 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. B. Stop charging when the battery is gassing freely and the battery-voltage shows no increase over a period of at least 2 hours.

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. C. Only use a boost-charger that limits the charging voltage to a maximum of 14.2 Volts and that has a temperature monitor.Terminal Layout: Negative (-) on left, Positive (+) on right ; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to you 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. 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
