Local NS70 same as NX110 export model. Wonder why they make it so confusing? smile_question.gif

Is it? I thought those were for the small 3 ton lorry type or was it the N100, really confusing now? smile_shock.gif
For us just stick to the 40, 60, 50 and 70...... smile_thumbup.gif

This was what the old spare part shopkeeper that trade Yoko told me. Same brand but different model. My 1 ton lorry using NX110 and replaced with NS70. Physical size, battery sitting the same. He should be correct.

But to confirm, best to hear from the horse mouth ie the manufacturer. smile_tongue.gif

Was in battery manufacturing many years ago. Same size outside, may not be the same inside.
Some cheaper unbranded batteries we found out those days, have less plates inside therefore the amp is lower..... smile_shock.gif

Yup, you are right. More accurate should check the amp hour.

Refer to Yoko spec, NX110 basically refers to old JIS spec, equivalent to 80xxx. Think 70A for 20hrs for NX110. NS70 only give around 65A for 20hrs. Still can use but shorter AH compares with old one. So my replacement Yoko batt 5AH less, 65AH instead of 70AH. Still can use, but cannot run too long.

Yup. When running alternator should be charging as well as supply the dc current.

20hr guess referring to when batt fully drained, referring the Yoko specs in their web.

Anyway knows below what voltage when your batt consider 'kong' or not sufficient voltage to start the engine? 11V? Guess the best way to monitor and maintain car batt is carry a voltage meter, checking once every 2-3 mths.

Safer to carry jumper cable.
Normally battery when weak will fail overnight, after a few hours of non charge, but got one time my fail immediately.
I started the car and it was normal, drove to petrol station to refuel, then when wanted to start, no sound at all. Lucky mine is manual and at station had slight down slope, so push start, then went and change battery immediately...... smile_tongue.gif
