When a car battery is described as an ‘ Enhanced Flooded Battery‘ the internal structure of the standard lead acid battery has been improved on. Leisure batteries power those travel essentials, like fridges, phones and televisions. Used in boats, caravans and motorhomes, leisure batteries are built to consistently deliver 12v power - perfect for your home appliances outside of your home.

What is a 110 Leisure Battery?

Batteries with modern technologies such as EFB and AGM are monitored by a battery sensor and are closely linked with the battery management system (BMS). If a wrong battery is used, this can cause deficiencies in the automatic start-stop system, failures of comfort functions and reduced service life of the battery. When is a change from EFB to AGM recommended? The new Yuasa AGM European 096 and 019 sized batteries provide reliable starting whilst coping with the extreme power needs of the modern vehicle. Laboratory evaluation is boasting 4-5 times the cyclic durability of standard conventional flooded product and typically 16% higher starting power, even at lower temperatures. Increased reaction surface area ensures increased energy densities for faster engine rotation during starting and therefore maximising fuel efficiency. Additionally, the technology comes with adequate thermal stability which is ideal for hot temperate regions such as Africa, The Middle East and Asia.

Most motorhomes have two different batteries: one that’s used to start the vehicle’s engine and a A good leisure battery is constructed in a way that optimises the design for a life of repeated cycles and some limited over-discharge service abuse. Some of the limitations of basic lead acid battery chemistry cannot be overcome, but certain design rules and special additives are used to minimise the damaging effects of over-discharge in service. Others technologies with more severe duty cycles are sold in the traction and semi traction markets, but based on normal leisure usage, tend to be an expensive solution. Caravans, motorhomes, boats and other modern leisure vehicles feature more technology and electrical appliances than ever before. YBX Active Leisure and Marine batteries are specially designed to provide dependable, stress-free power and long life. A. Both are recombinant batteries (i.e. under normal operating conditions they recombine the gases given off during charging to form water) and both are classified as sealed valve regulated.get all the way to your destination to discover it’s giving you no power!

Leisure batteries should be tested for both voltage and state of health regularly. On many vehicles, An EFB battery doesn't need either the higher charging voltage or a specific charge process as an AGM battery. These considerations lead to a decision to be made by the customer for either a low cost throw-away battery, which is unlikely to provide long-term reliability, or a more robust product that will provide multiple seasons of service. Furthermore, consideration must be given to the level of durability required, for example, a high durability option is best suited for a caravan mover, where low durability options are best suited to powering lighting alone.
