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. 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 current throughout the charging period irrespective of the battery on-charge voltage. Do not charge AGM batteries on a constant current 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.When fitting the charger to the battery, connect the positive lead to the positive terminal and the negative lead to the negative terminal. 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. Batteries in the YBX7000 EFB and YBX5000 ranges feature Yuasas XVR Extreme Vibration Resistance. This means that they have a vibration resistance of over eight times V4. V4 is the highest level rating that European standard EN50342 requires. Batteries in these ranges, plus all YBX3000 DIN types, are suitable for rear chassis location fitting. 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.

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 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. 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. They have an M1 micro-cycle endurance rating, XVR and are SMF. They are also suitable for end of chassis location. OE Quality, Performance & Specification Performance - Compared to Conventional Automotive Batteries

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