Yuasa DLMA-145 12V 145Ah dual purpose battery

The Yuasa DLMA-145 12V 145Ah dual purpose battery is a conventional dual-purpose /glossary/leisure-battery/leisure battery designed for installations that need both auxiliary energy storage and strong engine-starting capability.

Yuasa places the DLMA-145 within its YBX Active Leisure & Marine Dual Purpose range as one of the largest and most capable conventional batteries in the Active line-up. It uses Ca/Ca flooded lead-acid construction and is intended for applications where one battery may be expected to support both service loads and starting duties, rather than acting purely as a habitation battery.

Why this product makes sense

Some leisure and marine systems do not fit neatly into a simple “starter battery” or “leisure battery” box. The DLMA-145 is aimed at those dual-role jobs where both reserve capacity and cranking performance matter, such as larger boats, canal craft, trailers and horseboxes. Yuasa rates the Dual Purpose range at 200 cycles (50% DOD), giving it stronger endurance than a typical conventional leisure battery of standard size.

With 12V nominal voltage, 145Ah capacity, /glossary/cold-cranking-amps-cca/900A CCA, 1080 MCA and a 1740Wh energy rating, the DLMA-145 offers meaningful stored energy alongside substantial starting support. Physical dimensions are 513 x 189 x 223 mm, with a listed weight of 37 kg.
