THIS NOVEMBER!
GS revitalises their range of batteries which features new
case designs, improved performance and fresh livery.
GS Yuasa has supplied power solutions at every cornerstone of
automotive technology for over 100 years. The latest revitalisation of the
GS automotive battery range continues to deliver superior performance
and good value to motorists in the UK.
THE POWER OF THREE
GS has streamlined their automotive batteries into three ranges – SMF,
EFB and AGM. With new case designs that allows quick and clear
identification, this simplifies the selection process whilst providing
excellent coverage for the UK car parc.
SMF EFB AGM
Designed for standard ignition cars and
light vans, the GS SMF battery provides
up to 40,000 vehicle starts and is
designed to have a sealed, maintenance-
free lid, without the need for water top-
ups. They are fitted with Calcium/Calcium
(CaCa) plates and a State of Charge
Indicator (SOCI). Easily identifiable
with the blue and grey colourway, GS
SMF batteries come with an integrated
carrying handle and flame arrestor. EFB technology is now factory-fitted
to numerous micro-hybrid and entry
level Start-Stop vehicles. Providing
approximately 270,000 starts, GS EFB
batteries afford high-cyclic durability and
dynamic charge acceptance. The absorbent glass mats in AGM
batteries absorb battery acid within the
unit to enable a more efficient use of
the cells’ volume without the need for
electrolyte reservoirs.
Sealed Maintenance-Free (SMF)
There are also 4 Maintenance Free (MF)
batteries that feature open vented lids
without the carrying handles.

Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB)
Lead-acid batteries tend to lose
their ability to accept a charge if left
discharged for too long. This is due to the
crystallisation of the plates, known as
sulphation. GS EFB batteries come with
anti-sulphation technology and carbon/
lithium plate additives to ensure a long
service life and increased cranking power.
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)
Engineered to meet the growing,
extreme power demands of high
specification Start-Stop vehicles that are
entering the UK aftermarket, GS AGM
batteries deliver approximately
360,000 starts while offering high
cyclic durability and improved
dynamic charge acceptance.
The sealed tip/tilt double lid is VDA roll-
over test compliant, reduces water loss
by up to 30% and features an integrated
flame arrestor.
