THE NEW LABEL All batteries in the new GS battery range carry the recently introduced EN50342-1/6 European Standard battery performance markings, alongside the standard specifications (Volt/Ah/A). Each battery in the range has undergone extensive testing to determine its performance for each of the following criteria: Water Loss: rated W1 – W5 The ability to retain water content. The better a battery performs, the less water it will lose in service. W1 (Traditional lead-acid battery) - W5 (Premium next generation battery technology) Charge Retention: rated C1 – C2 The ability of the battery to retain stored chemical energy (charge) when not in use. C1 (Traditional lead-acid) - C2 (Modern calcium) Vibration Level: rated V1 – V4 The battery’s physical ability to resist the potentially damaging effects of vibration. V1 (Traditional car and light van) - V4 (Extreme heavy duty plant and commercial vehicle) Endurance: rated E1 – E4 (Conventional types only) The ability to withstand repeated charge/discharge cycles to 50% depth of discharge without failure. E1 (Conventional car and light van) - E4 (Extreme heavy duty plant and commercial vehicle) Micro-Cycle: rated M1 – M3 (EFB & AGM types only) The ability of the battery to provide power to restart the engine after frequent stop phases, its ability to recover state of charge afterwards and the aging effects due to shallow pulse loads. M1 (Basic start - stop) - M3 (High end start - stop and hybrid) CHOOSE GS BATTERIES? • Brand new simplified battery range • OE quality, performance and specification • 4 year warranty across the new SMF, EFB and AGM ranges* • Improved levels of performance and extended service life *MF batteries – 3 year warranty.
