Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) Ltd (YBSUK) established in Swindon for the sales and distribution of Industrial Batteries in UK & Ireland. Keep your battery fully charged to prevent any internal damage. Yuasa recommend charging your battery when in storage. Intelligent chargers can safely monitor and maintain a battery.

Always check your charger’s instructions to make sure it has a maintenance mode and is safe for unattended charging. With AGM batteries always ensure you use a charger compatible with this type of technology. Failure to do so will result in permanent damage and premature failure. 

Recharge your battery as soon as it reaches 50% power.

Never allow the battery to run flat as this causes internal damage and will greatly reduce lifespan.

Yuasa recommend checking the battery with a hand-held multimeter.

Prior to checking, ensure all electrical appliances and systems are switched off.

Meter Reading (12 battery) Approximate Charge Level
12.7V or above 100%
12.5V 75%
12.4V 50%
12.2V 25%
12V or lower Discharged

At least every year, or more frequently if possible, clean the battery tray, terminals and connectors. Smear the connectors with a little petroleum jelly.

On rare occasions batteries can give off a sulphurous / rotten egg smell or may become excessively hot. Both these signs usually mean the battery is being overcharged and is in danger of irreversible damage, it may also mean that the battery has encountered permanent damage by being left in a discharged state and can no longer accept charge therefore charging must be stopped immediately.

In these cases, be aware that potentially explosive gasses may have been emitted so take extreme care.
