trialsrider Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Does anybody know what the D.O.D. of this battery is please? I've got a new battery and don't want to ruin it like the last one I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Gareth, I have just looked on Allan's website and he basically states it is 'half way' between VRLA and a conventional battery. "While it's resting voltage isn't as high as the Varta LFD90's 12.97v it is still higher than a conventional batteries at about 12.8v. So it falls about half way between the VRLA column and the Yuasa YX Micron column in the battery SOC chart further (down) the page." http://www.aandncaravanservices.co.uk/battery-technology.php Until Allan returns I would suggest you err on the side of caution and treat it as a VRLA.

Keithl Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 trialsrider - 2019-04-04 2:47 PM Thanks Keith. I'm guessing it's somewhere between 12.3 and 12.4 then. As I said previously... Keithl - 2019-04-04 1:50 PM Gareth, Until Allan returns I would suggest you err on the side of caution and treat it as a VRLA. Keith. I would err on the side of caution and use 12.5 V Keith. PS And remember that voltage must be 'resting' voltage after all sources of charge and load have been removed for a minimum of two or three hours.

dipsticks Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I received this reply when I asked Yuasa Quote Please find the answers to your questions below: ...Fully Charged 100% voltage - 12.75V (consult your controller manual on this, as this voltage represents stabilised battery voltage without surface charge. Surface charge voltage is likely to peak at 13.2V during charging). ...Voltage before re-charge required – ideally no lower than 12.2V to avoid over-discharge. This will ensure longer battery life by avoiding damage by excessive deep-cycling. ...Recommended bulk charge voltage. - 14.4V ± 0.2V on bulk/fast charge. ...Recommended float charge voltage. - 13.6V ± 0.2V. ...Maximum charge voltage permissible. - 14.8V. Please note that these are only general guidelines for charging and results will vary depending on your equipment specification and usage habits.
