What does 'AGM' mean in relation to this battery?

AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat. It's a type of VRLA battery where the electrolyte is absorbed into fiberglass mats. This construction enhances vibration resistance and allows for a sealed, maintenance-free design.

Troubleshooting

Battery does not crank the engine

Ensure terminals are clean and tight. Check if the battery is fully charged using a voltmeter or battery tester. Verify compatibility with the vehicle's requirements.

Battery seems to lose charge quickly

Check for parasitic drain on the vehicle's electrical system. Ensure the battery is being properly charged by the vehicle's alternator. Consider using a battery maintainer during storage.

Corrosion on battery terminals

Disconnect the battery. Clean terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply dielectric grease or a terminal protector before reconnecting.

Battery is swollen or leaking

This indicates internal damage or overcharging. Immediately disconnect and safely dispose of the battery. Do not attempt to use or recharge a damaged battery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Verify Compatibility: Before installation, confirm that the Yuasa YT7B-BS (12V, 6.5Ah, 120A CCA, 150x65x93mm) is the correct battery specification for your vehicle. Check your owner's manual or consult a parts catalog.
  2. Charge: While often shipped with a surface charge, it's recommended to fully charge the battery before initial use, especially if it has been in storage.
  3. Installation: Disconnect the old battery's negative terminal first, then the positive. Connect the new battery's positive terminal first, then the negative. Ensure all connections are clean and tight.

Compatibility:

This battery is compatible with vehicles that specify a YT7B-BS or equivalent part number (e.g., CT7B-BS, ET7B-BS, GT7B-BS, YT7B-4). It is commonly used in many.

Care:

  • Keep Terminals Clean: Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals with a wire brush to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to protect them.
  • Maintain Charge: If the vehicle is stored for extended periods, use a compatible trickle charger or battery maintainer to keep the battery charged and prevent deep discharge.
  • Avoid Deep Discharge: While built with anti-sulfation, prolonged deep discharges can still shorten battery life.
  • Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. A fully charged battery stores better.
