With the introduction of new CO2 production control systems such as smart charging and Idle Start/Stop (ISS) it is essential that the vehicle has the correct battery type and specification installed.
An increasing number of automotive manufacturers have introduced systems that now require a replacement battery is correctly configured to the vehicle after installation.
Failure to configure the correct specification battery could result in:
- Undercharging or overcharging of the battery ?resulting in damage which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
- Loss of the ISS CO2 production control ?system functionality
- Possible loss of non-critical vehicle system functions
Battery configuration prevents incorrect battery ?charging, ensures the correct operation of the ISS CO2 production control system and prevents the loss of non-critical vehicle systems.
The Yuasa Yu-Fit battery configuration tool allows the configuration process to be carried out on a growing number of vehicles equipped with new technology ?smart charge and ISS systems.
The configuration process therefore:
- Informs the vehicle that a new battery has ?been installed
- Informs the charging system of the new? battery characteristics
- Ensures the vehicle uses the correct charging parameters for the new battery

Select the VALIDATE BATTERY option from the SELECT FUNCTION menu, confirm with ‘OK’ and wait for the function ?to initialise.
NOTE:
The battery configuration procedure that the Yuasa Yu-Fit is capable of varies, dependent on the vehicle manufacturer and sophistication of the systems installed on the vehicle.
Vehicles allowing limited access with the Yuasa Yu-Fit will ?only allow the configuration of the correct specification replacement battery.
Vehicles allowing enhanced access with the Yuasa Yu-Fit will allow the configuration of either correct /incorrect specification replacement batteries.
Based on this, the number of configuration steps may also vary and the level of information required to carry out a successful battery configuration procedure will differ and may include:
- Is the new battery equivalent to the old one in both technology and performance?
- The name of the battery manufacturer
- The technology of the new battery
- The Ah capacity of the new battery
Select and confirm the correct battery data with OK.
Wait for any fault codes to be cleared and conformation that the battery configuration process has been successfully concluded before turning OFF the ignition and disconnecting the Yu-Fit from the vehicle.
