Characteristics

FAQs about the Yuasa YBX3014

What is the difference to the YBX3005?

The technical difference lies exclusively in the terminal layout.

• YBX3005: positive terminal right (Layout 0).
• YBX3014: positive terminal left (Layout 1). As the battery cables in vehicles are usually cut to the exact length, only the correct version will fit. Please check before purchasing: On which side is the red positive cable?

Will this battery fit my Toyota or Mazda?

Very likely if your vehicle requires a "D23" size battery (often reference numbers such as 55D23L or 60D23L). The "L" at the end of the Asian number stands for "Left" (positive terminal left), which is exactly what the YBX3014 is. To be sure, measure the case (approx. 23 cm long).

Is the battery suitable for start-stop vehicles?

No. The YBX3014 is a classic starter battery (SMF). Vehicles with start-stop systems place a significantly higher load on the battery and absolutely require an EFB battery (e.g. Yuasa YBX7005 or YBX7014, depending on terminal layout).

Does the battery have a base fixation?
