Yuasa L36-AGM Leisure Battery
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
These are recent introductions, yet most definitely not modern, but still don't have an AGM charge profile or even Gel. Gel – Gel batteries are sealed units, just like AGM, and therefore can be laid on their side. They are leakproof and can recharge if run flat (though still not advised). Gel batteries are considered the safest option and are commonly in campervans and motorhomes in Europe. They are one of the most expensive battery types. What are leisure batteries for?
For some reason the NCC think it is ll about 'Storage Capacity', and batteries are rated on size/capacity, not cyclic ability or other qualities Conventional wet acid/flooded Starter batteries in Cars have previously had an average 9 year life. Fitting double the cost AGM's with claims of more than double the life should mean they last 20 years.data-parent="#accordion-3">
Most motorhomes have two different batteries: one that’s used to start the vehicle’s engine and a
Interestingly I too bought a Yuasa battery from Tayna last week, only mine was the YBX5020 (silver calcium) for use as a replacement starter battery. Mine arrived reading 12.53v and I put it on to charge with the very same CTEK 3.6A charger. I presume it eventually reached 14.4v overnight but it took a long time to get started and the voltage even seemed to dip a little over the first hour or so. After 24hrs off charge it has settled at 12.89v. factors you should consider:
- Room available: Be sure to select a battery that will fit the space in your caravan or There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers deep cycle battery.
- Capacity: The amount of power the battery has. The higher the battery’s Ah rating, My biggest problem in raising awareness, is Sargent Electronics who talk about 'protecting the battery' at 9.0v!!!!An issue we often come across is that an AGM battery has been fitted for habitation use because the Charger/PDU has a setting for AGM yet the vehicle battery is Wet Lead. As in most installations the vehicle battery is also charged when on EHU (Electrical Hook Up), the higher voltage will be charging the Wet Lead battery as well and often causes damage. Not only to the battery but also to other on board electronics like alarm systems and even the vehicles ECU. We see this allot with the Schaudt EBL30 and EBL119 because, as part of the way the quality control is carried out, the units leave the factory set to AGM and manufactures and dealers don't understand that you can't mix technologies. You can probably imagine how an AGM battery, that requires 14.8v, will last at being so under charged by 13.7v?
That is quite a turnabout, as 4 years ago the retailers marketing arms telling us that AGM batteries were the heavy duty option, excelling at high loads. Wasn't that the reason they were adopted for Stop/Start cars, because they handled the high duty workload better? Yuasa, and all other manufacturers, state that for maximum battery life, a Lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% Depth Of Discharge (DOD). For a modern battery that is between 12.5 and 12.2v depending on the Technology in the battery, as it is the technology in a battery that dictates the battery State Of Charge voltage. Spirou, Yes the 18a versions do have the usual theoretical limit of 10 times their current output converted to Ah, so 18amps x 10 = 180Ah total. Sorry, but no and no. The Exide ET650 is a traditional battery, read that as old fashioned construction so slow charging. Note that this battery has screw caps to replace fluid loss during use. Whether you camp with full electric hook-up or use no mains supply, YBX Active batteries give you the freedom to go anywhere.
However, I would be pretty certain that it won't do as most assume and charge continually at 14.4v until the battery is 'Full' before dropping to 13.8v. But doesn't that also suggest the need to print the voltage on the casing is a gigantic step up in a AGM batteries very precise charging voltage and getting it wrong will have consequences?The latest 'new for 2017' Sargent EC600 still requires manual switching between Starter and Habitation area battery. So does the recently updated EC160. Big names like Zig, Bonus Systems, etc have never had a high technology mains charger, just low technology, 1990's style, fixed 13.5 voltage 'charger' which are little more than a power supply.. Spirou, You write "In any case, that period is always considered as maximum allowed and is hardly ever seen in MH practice unless you discharge deeply". span>

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 I've been told by other Globecar owners that the compressor fridge will use circa 48Ah per 24-hours. Much depends also on how you use your MH. If it's parked for long periods then drop the victron down to 13.2-4 for float. I have mine set a few tenths higher as the van is used almost weekly and "storage" mode isn't as much a concern as getting it properly charged when out.
