Super Heavy Duty Series car batteries incorporate glassmat separators in addition to its reinforced plates. Thanks to these special separators, cycle life and vibration resistance of batteries are longer and greater than regular batteries. Super Heavy Duty batteries with low internal resistance provide extra performance even under most challenging road conditions and at very low temperatures.
Developed by inci Aku GS Yuasa engineers, specially designed for heavy vehicle series satisfying requirements and needs of heavy duty vehicle drivers: Formul A Heavy Duty
Why totally sealed lid? Water evapourating in the battery condenses on the plugs and second lid. Specially designed plugs ensure safe return of the water to the battery, thus preventing water loss and leak.
Extra Resistance Against Vibration Specially designed thicker plates provide maximum resistance against effects of corrosion. The positive electrode incorporates silver, tin and calcium alloy (PbCaAg) while the negative electrode incorporates calcium (PbCa), thus ensuring minimum loss of water.
Technical Features
- Fully sealed double-lid
Patented design which meets most challenging leak-proof requirements
- Special labyrinth plugs
- Flame arresters inside the lid
- Charge level indicator on the lid
- Special handle
- Ca-Ca silver tin alloy plates (PbCaAg-PbCa)
- Glassmate separators in Super Heavy Duty Series
- Thicker construction inside the terminals
- High acid reserve capacity above the plates
Benefits
- Ready-to-use, totally maintenance-free
- Extra resistance against vibration
- Improved cycle life
- Higher Ah...

100% Leak-ProofInnovative lid guarantees 100% leak-proof
Two-Side DegassingTwo-side degassing ensures safe discharge of gas produced in the battery without any gas explosion risk
More Safe with Flame Arresters
Flame arresters mounted inside the lid offer protection against arcs and flames
Silver and Calcium Alloy Technology
- Specially designed thicker plates provide maximum resistance against effects of corrosion
- The positive electrode incorporates silver and the negative electrode incorporates calcium, thus ensuring minimum loss of water
Labyrinth Plugs
Specially designed for preventing leakage caused by tough field conditions which lead to vibration, and for ensuring re-condensation of water evaporated at high temperatures
Maximum Acid Reserve Capacity
- Box design has been changed to increase the acid volume in the battery, thus minimising any possible corrosion effects
- Increased acid reserve capacity ensures higher battery performance at higher temperatures
Thicker Construction inside the Terminals
The thicker construction inside the terminals improves the strength under challenging field conditions, and help to reduce negative effects of vibration
Fields of Use
- Trucks and Articulated-Lorries
- Trucks and articulated-lorries which cover long distances daily require a battery providing full-performance. Only batteries with extra power and durability can meet electric demands of the devices incorporated to such vehicles such as navigation units, TV, DVD, etc.
- Moreover, such vehicles require a battery providing high starting power for a problem-free start after long breaks. Long-distances, utilisation of electrical devices during breaks, irregular charge-discharge intervals are only possible with batteries having long cycle life. Super Heavy Duty Series are specially recommended.
- Delivery Vehicles
- Delivery vehicles used for transportation of loads need the aid of a powerful battery for avoiding any breakdowns during transport, as well as ensuring timely deliveries and problem-free, smooth operation during loading and unloading.
- Buses
- Today, intercity buses are equipped with many technological facilities. During transport of passengers to relevant destinations, they provide comfort items such as TV, USB, wireless internet, electric outlets in front of seats. When providing such facilities for comfort, they need superior performance batteries. Super Heavy Duty Series are specially recommended.
- Municipal Service Vehicles
- Public vehicles used for public services such as fire trucks, refuse lorries, and municipality public transport buses need batteries with superior performance and durability for providing smooth problem-free service under the most challenging conditions.
- Construction Vehicles
- Construction equipment expected to operate under most challenging weather and road conditions need batteries offering high-durability in order to be ready anytime for the new duty.
- Agricultural Vehicles
- Agricultural vehicles which are required to provide high-performance under intensive operation tempo can provide problem-free and uninterrupted service with the aid of a powerful battery.
Storage & Installation
Wet Batteries
Always store in a dry and cool place in the upright position. (10°C to 25°C). Place batteries on a wood pallet for avoiding direct contact with concrete ground.
A) Check the Charge Level of your Battery Periodically (Every 3 months)
- Charge level of the battery must be greater than 12,6V before sale.
- During storage, the minimum voltage must be 12,4V. Otherwise, any lower voltage rate will result in sulphating of plates leading to reduced battery performance. For preventing any permanent damage, unpack the battery and charge at 16,1V and 1/20Cn current (1/20 of Ampere rate) without undue delay.
B) Employ FIFO (First-In First-Out) Method for your Inventories
The first batteries entered into the inventory are the first ones to be sold. Please check that the battery ensures the conditions specified in Article A.
C) Battery Installation
- Before installation, make sure that battery to be installed in your car is correct by referring to operating manual of your car.
- Make sure that the engine is switched off.
- Remove the old battery first by releasing from the negative terminal cable, and then the positive terminal cable.
- When the vehicle engine is off, conduct a short-circuit control to make sure whether there is any electric consumption (conduct a leakage test).
- Clean the battery compartment and terminal connections by using a brush, and replace them if necessary.
- Install the new battery. Avoid tightening the bottom connections too tight. Before performing the connection, check the polarity starting from the positive cable. Clean the terminals using vaseline. Negative cable must always be connected in the end. Tighten the connections so that they are not loose.
- When the engine is on, check the compatibility of charge current by controlling the voltage at battery terminals. After installing the new battery in your car, gear up the vehicle in order to check whether the alternator voltage output rate specified in vehicle manual is compatible with the electric system.
Health & SafetySulphuric acid in the battery is very harmful.
Measures:
- Always carry the batteries carefully
- Always keep in the upright position
- Charge in a well-ventilated place
Do not add extra quantities of pure water. (Pure water level must not be more than 1.5 cm above the plates.) During battery maintenance (addition of water, cleaning, battery charge), absolutely wear protective goggles suitable with working conditions. In case of any possible acid splash risk, wear protective clothing.
Emergency:
- In case of contact with eyes or skin wash with plenty of water
- Immediately remove contaminated clothing
- Ingestion: Drink plenty of water and milk, consult a physician
- Spill: Wash small-spills with water
- Operating batteries emit highly flammable hydrogen and oxygen gases
- Do not smoke or avoid any sources and acts which may cause sparks near batteries which are being charged, operating on the vehicle, or stopped after a long operation period, keep fire away
- Use all devices with great care
