Q 1. What is the voltage and capacity of the Optima YTR2.7 battery?

A. The Optima YTR2.7 (8073-176) is a 12-volt battery with a rated capacity of 38Ah measured at the C20 rate and a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 460A to the EN standard.

Q 2. What makes this a dual-purpose battery rather than a standard starter battery?

A. The YellowTop designation indicates a battery designed for both engine starting and cyclic deep-discharge applications. Unlike a conventional starter battery, it is constructed to withstand repeated discharge and recharge cycles without significant capacity loss, making it suitable for vehicles with sustained auxiliary electrical loads.

Q 3. What is SPIRALCELL technology and why does it matter?

A. SPIRALCELL technology is Optima's proprietary construction method in which two pure lead plates are wound into a tight cylindrical cell. This eliminates plate movement and electrolyte stratification, resulting in low internal resistance, consistent power output, resistance to vibration damage, and a longer service life compared with conventional flat-plate AGM designs.

Q 4. What are the physical dimensions and weight of the YTR2.7?

A. The battery measures 237mm in length, 129mm in width, and 227mm in height including the terminal. It weighs 12.5 kg.

Q 5. What terminal type and polarity does the Optima YTR2.7 use?

A. The YTR2.7 uses a standard SAE post terminal (Terminal Type 1) with Polarity Code 0, indicating standard positive-left orientation. The hold-down classification is B00. Always verify terminal position and polarity against your vehicle's battery tray layout before fitment.

Q 6. Is the Optima YTR2.7 compatible with start-stop vehicles?

A. The AGM technology used in this battery is generally compatible with start-stop systems. However, Optima advises that suitability should be confirmed by checking the product label, as start-stop compatibility can vary by vehicle application and specification.

Q 7. What types of vehicle or application is this battery intended for?

A. The YellowTop 8073-176 is suited to vehicles with high-demand electrical systems, including those with aftermarket audio equipment, uprated lighting, auxiliary power inverters, emergency vehicles, commercial vehicles, and heavy equipment where the battery may experience regular deep discharge.

Q 8. Does the Optima YTR2.7 require any special charging equipment?

A. AGM batteries, including this Optima YellowTop, should be charged using a charger that is compatible with AGM or VRLA battery chemistry. Standard flooded-battery chargers set to high voltage profiles may reduce battery life. Consult your charger manufacturer's guidance to confirm AGM compatibility before use.

Q 9. What warranty is provided with the Optima YTR2.7?

A. The battery is supplied with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Retain proof of purchase for any warranty claim.

Q 10. How long will delivery take and what is the returns policy?

A. Standard delivery within UK mainland takes 1–3 working days. A 30-day returns policy applies. For full terms and conditions, refer to the PartsForMachines returns policy at the time of purchase.
