The unique code number gives details of endurance level, cold cranking performance level, vibration level, lid, terminal and clamping parts

CA (Cranking Amps) is perhaps a more useful standard, which states the maximum cranking amps that a battery can deliver at 32 degrees F for 30 seconds. With the car electrics – most modern cars have sat-nav and a fairly good stereo. 20 years ago this would not have been the case. Additions such as a powerful stereo were usually added later and sat nav’s didn’t even exist. In doing so the driver 20 years ago would probably not have found his or her battery going flat prematurely because the rest of the vehicle had less electronics on-board. GS Yuasa endeavour to incorporate the most up to date and accurate information into the online battery look up tool. We gather the OE data and compare this information against the batteries in our range. We then output a match between original battery fitted by the vehicle manufacturer and the GS Yuasa battery range. Battery Leakage: When you constantly notice corrosion around the area where the positive and negative cable connections are situated, there is a battery leak, and there might be a need to change the battery.Scottish Islands - HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3 The Cold Cranking Performance (CCA) measures the starting performance of the battery. In simple terms, the higher the CCA, the easier it will be to start the vehicle. SAE (J537 Jun 1994 American Standard) Whatever you need us for, our aim is to provide our customers with the best value for money. Join the EN2– The first discharge is the same as EN1, but the second discharge period to 6.0V should achieve 133 seconds, giving a total time of 150 seconds. The discharge current’s ability to meet both designs is very much subject to battery design and can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and design to design. However, as an overview of our competitor benchmarking work at Yuasa, the relationship between EN1 and EN2 is:-

pricing on all motoring products and services online and across our stores, garages and Halfords Mobile The market for car batteries has grown. New models and brands are designed and pushed to the market every day. Car batteries, like other car parts, vary in size, capacity, quality, design, and durability. Gone are the days when there were just a few brands of car batteries. Today, there are lots of brands with diverse unique car batteries out there. Information about whether the battery is fitted with carrying handles can also be found in the ‘technical specification’ tab. End-Venting However, this car battery not only meets your needs - but, in fact, exceeds them. Going above and beyond Original Equipment requirements, the Bosch 110 uses Enhanced Flooded Battery technology to provide enhanced cycling abilities and improved charge acceptance. Swelling Battery Case: When your battery case starts bumping This is usually a result of too much heat, and it radically shortens the life of the battery.

Although subject to battery design, an approximation of SAE to DIN CCA relationship is:- SAE = (DIN x 1.5) + 40. Let’s focus on lead-acid batteries (still the most commonly used) and they come in two broad categories: auto batteries and deep-cycle, sometimes called ‘leisure’ batteries. VARTA was founded in 1887 Germany, and was established fully in 1904 by delivering the first electric vehicle battery, famously driven by Thomas Edison. Soon after, VARTA delivers the first ever vehicle battery to provide safe night time driving with electric vehicle headlights! Today’s VARTA batteries have been providing renowned German advanced technology, powerful performance and exceptional service around the world for well over 100 years. Information about the type of terminal fitted to the battery can be found in the ‘technical specification’ tab as well as the ‘diagrams’ tab. Container Features Please note : DO NOT fit lower spec batteries, Standard Batteries can be upgraded to EFB alternatives, Always replace EFB with EFB, Always replace AGM with AGM. fitting a lower specification battery or different battery typeto what was fitted by the manufacturer can lead to battery performance issues, charging issues, lessen the lifetime of the battery and will invalidate any warranty offered.

Your car uses the battery for 2 main purposes (1) the Engine (2) the Electrics such as lights, wipers, satellite navigation, stereo and so on. A typical lowest size for leisure batteries is 100Ah and they can deliver medium current for hours on end without damage.This is the dimension over the widest part of the battery, including the hold-down if fitted. Dimensions – Height (mm) The EN test also is performed at -18°C. The EN requirement is however split into two levels: EN1 and EN2. If a 50Ah battery can supply 500 amps for 30 seconds or so, then it’s C rating is C10 i.e. it can deliver 10 times it’s Ah rating in amps to crank a car engine. Can auto batteries deliver the same power as deep-cycle batteries? How deep can you discharge a car battery? This is the overall height of the battery to the tops of the terminals if these are proud of the lid. Weight with Acid (kg)
