Yuasa L36-AGM Leisure Battery

Product Information

The BCA/Powerpart unit alone is probably fitted in more UK Caravans than any other unit in the 'modern' British age. They were e ven being used in new Elddis motorhomes up to a couple of years ago.

Most people are unable to see that how the charger functions, both mains and solar, can have a huge impact and why the best Solar chargers, like our favoured Votronic, can make an enormous difference by just the tiniest parameter being altered.My biggest problem in raising awareness, is Sargent Electronics who talk about 'protecting the battery' at 9.0v!!!! The required battery capacity will also be dramatically affected if using motor mover equipment which consume large amounts of power over a very short time. If you look at the photo extract below from the manual for a CTEK MXS 10, you will see all the various charge stages. When AGM batteries have demonstrated they don't deliver, it's time to think more about EFB which are 100% Motorhome and Caravan compatible. Mercedes have already swapped one of the two AGM batteries in the the highline cars to EFB technology, and the rumours are the other battery will follow soon.

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. Note that even though you have many custom settings available, the victrons still have a brain of their own and will adjust as necessary. There is already a storage mode built in. Also, if you set a certain absorbtion period it is considered as max time. More often than not, if it has been sitting for a while I see a pattern of slowly degrading minimum voltage with sometimes only 1 min in absorbtion then it "wakes" up after about a week and charges a bit more to refresh the battery. Usually does up to 30 min in absorbtion on those days.But it hasgained a charging profile for Gel, which incredibly, was a milestone for the UK market as Gel charging profiles are almost as rare as AGM. There are many types of charger available; their working principles and the procedure for using these is given below. Smart Chargers The amount of power the battery has to run your equipment. The higher the battery’s Ah rating, the longer it will operate your gear. I would also suggest their use isn't ideal with a compressor fridge either. AGM's are generally not good at being discharged deeply, which is what tends to happen with the big draw of a Compressor Fridge and then recharged fast.

Even in 2018, some UK built Motorhomes still require manual selection of charging either the Starter battery or the habitation area battery, but not both at the same time.

B. Stop charging when the battery is gassing freely and the battery-voltage shows no increase over a period of at least 2 hours. We have seen AGM's on a 13.5v Sargent 151 that won't achieve 80% capacity, even after charging for days. For years Wet/Flooded Acid batteries have happily tolerated recharge voltages from the 13.8v of a typical Caravan power supply/charger to the very high 16v output by Ford Cars and Vans. data-parent="#accordion-3">

How long a leisure battery lasts will depend on many variables, and these include:

• The power requirements of a vehicle’s electrical consumers
• Whether it’s been used on or off grid
• Length of trips away and subsequent usage
• Usage with high-power consumers such as motor movers
• How well it has been maintained

While many presume a battery is a ‘fit and forget’ product, in reality, it requires Sadly even the latest Nordelettronica UK speccharger version introduced in 2016 doesn't have an AGM charge profile.

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.data-parent="#accordion-3">

Most motorhomes have two different batteries: one that’s used to start the vehicle’s engine and a maintain your leisure battery will keep it going for as long as possible and can help reduce the cost of running
