High-demand electrical systems place exceptional strain on conventional batteries, accelerating discharge cycles and shortening service life. The Optima Yellow Top 8040-222 is a dual-purpose AGM battery engineered to deliver reliable cranking power whilst sustaining the deep-cycle capability required by vehicles with auxiliary electronics, upfitted commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, and emergency or specialist applications.
Manufactured by Optima Batteries using their proprietary Spiral cell AGM technology, the Yellow Top construction bonds absorbent glass mat separators around tightly wound lead plates. This design eliminates free electrolyte, provides vibration resistance superior to flooded counterparts, and supports repeated deep-discharge recovery without significant capacity loss – characteristics that define the Yellow Top's suitability for both starter and cyclic duty.
The 8040-222 operates at 12V with a rated capacity of 48Ah (C20) and a Cold Cranking Amperage of 660A (EN). Physical dimensions are 237mm × 171mm – 197mm (L × W × H including terminal), and the battery weighs 17kg. Terminal type is SAE Post (Type 1), polarity is standard (positive left), and the hold-down specification is B01. No direct cross-references are listed; fitment should be confirmed against the vehicle's battery tray and electrical specification. The Yellow Top technology supports start-stop systems – verify compatibility against the product label before installation." No additional variants are currently available for this reference. This battery is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. "Standard delivery: 1–3 working days within UK mainland. 30-day returns.
The OPTIMA YELLOWTOP high-performance AGM Battery is a dual-purpose battery for starter and cyclic applications.

A. The Optima YTR3.7 (8040-222) is rated at 660 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) measured to the EN standard, making it suitable for reliable cold-weather engine starting in demanding applications.
A. The battery has a rated capacity of 48Ah measured at the C20 discharge rate. Capacity figures at C5, C10, and C100 rates and Watt-Hour (WH) data are not published for this reference; for precise energy budgeting, consult Optima's technical documentation.
A. The Optima Yellow Top AGM technology supports start-stop system operation. However, compatibility depends on the specific vehicle's battery management system requirements. Always verify against the product label and your vehicle manufacturer's specification before installation.
A. The battery uses standard polarity (positive terminal on the left, polarity code 0) and is fitted with SAE Post terminals (Type 1). The hold-down specification is B01. Confirm these match your vehicle's battery tray and cable layout before ordering.
A. Yes. The Yellow Top series is designed for both starter (cranking) and cyclic (deep-discharge) duty. It is particularly suited to vehicles carrying high-demand auxiliary electronics, upfitted commercial vehicles, heavy equipment, and specialist applications such as emergency vehicles where sustained power delivery alongside regular engine starting is required.
A. No direct cross-reference part numbers are listed for this product. To confirm suitability, match the voltage (12V), capacity (48Ah), CCA (660A EN), dimensions (237 × 171 × 197mm), terminal type, and polarity against your existing battery or vehicle specification sheet.
A. The battery is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Retain your proof of purchase and ensure the battery is installed and maintained in accordance with Optima's guidelines to protect warranty eligibility.
A. Orders are dispatched via standard parcel service with delivery in 1–3 working days to UK mainland addresses. A 30-day returns policy applies; the battery must be returned in its original condition and packaging. Contact PartsForMachines customer services to arrange a return.
A. The Yellow Top uses Optima's Spiralcell AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) construction, in which the electrolyte is fully absorbed into glass mat separators wound around the lead plates. This eliminates free acid, dramatically improves vibration resistance, and enables repeated deep-discharge and recharge cycling — capabilities that conventional flooded batteries cannot reliably sustain.
A. The battery measures 237mm (length) × 171mm (width) × 197mm (height including terminal) and weighs 17kg. Ensure your battery tray accommodates these dimensions and that the vehicle's mounting system is compatible with the B01 hold-down specification.
