Sealed Construction
Yuasa VRLA battery’s unique construction and sealing technique ensures no electrolyte leakage from the case or battery terminals.
Flame Retardant
Yuasa UXL Solar battery containers and lids are made from a flame retardant plastic material (Oxygen Index 30).
Electrolyte Suspension System
All UXL Solar batteries utilise Yuasa’s unique electrolyte suspension system incorporating a micro fibre glass mat to retain the maximum amount of electrolyte in the cells. The electrolyte is retained in the separator material and there is no free electrolyte to escape from the cells.
Recombination Technology
The design of Yuasa UXL Solar batteries incorporates the very latest oxygen recombination technology to maximise the efficiency of operation, eliminating the need for water to be added during its operational life.
Low Maintenance
Due to the perfectly sealed construction and the recombination of gases with the cell, the battery requires minimal maintenance while in service.
Orientation
The combination of the sealed battery construction and Yuasa’s unique electrolyte suspension system allows operation in any orientation, with no loss of performance or leakage of electrolyte (excluding continuous use in inverted position).
Valve Regulated Design
All UXL Solar batteries are equipped with engineered low pressure venting system. This system allows the release of excess gases within the battery which can occur under charging conditions. The system automatically reseals when the internal pressures within the battery return to specified levels.
NOTE: UXL Solar batteries should not be charged in a fully sealed container. For further information please
contact your local Century Yuasa representative.
Lead Calcium Grids
The heavy duty lead calcium alloy grids provide an extra margin of performance and life in both shallow cyclic and float applications, offering unparalleled recovery from deep discharge.
Service Life
The expected service life for UXL Solar batteries is seven years in applications with an ambient temperature of 25
oC, and when operated in accordance to Century Yuasa’s specifications. This can be achieved due to design features including extra heavy duty grids and special electrolyte formulation.
Separators
The specially designed separator material provides a very efficient insulation between the negative and positive plates within the battery. This insulation prevents inter-plate short circuits and inhibits the shedding of the active material on the plates, thereby maximising the life of the battery.
Long Shelf Life
The extremely low self-discharge rate of the Yuasa UXL Solar batteries allows these batteries to be stored for extended period of up to one year at normal ambient temperatures.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
The industrious design of the Yuasa UXL Solar range provide for use over a broad range of temperatures, providing there is some flexibility in both system design and location.
