The positive terminal sits on the right as you look at the top of the battery with the labels facing you, and the SP small-post tapered terminals match the factory cable clamps. Fits earlier Toyota Hilux and Hiace petrol models, Mazda B-Series petrol, Ford Courier petrol, and earlier Nissan Navara petrol where the OE is an NS40Z-D-SP. The C polarity mirror is the [handle:ns40zl-mf-century-hi-performance-battery-12v-360cca-38ah] (positive on the LEFT), which is the one to pick if your vehicle came factory-wired for C polarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlooded calcium wet-cell construction with Century Platelock plate retention and mud-rack base saddle, flame-arrested lid, double-insulated separators, and a sealed maintenance-free top. Footprint is 195 by 127 by 200 mm with a total height of 220 mm over the posts, and the battery weighs 9.9 kg. Terminals are SP small-post tapered (approximately 11 mm positive top-taper, 13 mm negative), which do not fit cable clamps machined for STD standard-post tapered terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a starter battery, not a dual-purpose deep-cycle, and the flooded calcium chemistry is not AGM, EFB, or lithium. Do not substitute into vehicles that specify AGM or EFB for stop-start charging profiles because the alternator charging curve is different. For 24V series pairing, use two identical NS40Z MF units bought on the same date and matched for state of charge within 0.1 V; mismatched age or SOC in a series pair shortens both batteries. Fuse at the starter cable origin, not at the terminal, and use the vehicle existing hold-down with 5 to 8 Nm clamp torque so the mud rack sits square on the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in Australia for Australian conditions by Century Yuasa with the Hi Performance tier Platelock plate retention, mud-rack base saddle, flame-arrested lid, double-insulated separators, and calcium wet-cell plate chemistry. Covered by 30 months Century warranty against manufacturing defects. For a flagship step-up in the same NS40Z footprint with 15 percent more cranking and 40 months warranty, see the [handle:ns40zlsx-mf-century-ultra-hi-performance-battery-12v-410cca-42ah] (STD terminal, C polarity) or the [handle:ns40zlx-mf-century-ultra-hi-performance-battery-12v-400cca-42ah] (SP terminal, C polarity).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCharging, mounting and fusing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlooded calcium wet-cell charging profile is 14.4 to 14.7 V bulk and 13.5 to 13.8 V float at 20 degrees C, with temperature compensation of minus 18 mV per degree C above 20 degrees C and plus 18 mV per degree C below. Mount the battery on the mud-rack base saddle (not inverted) and clamp with 5 to 8 Nm torque using the vehicle existing hold-down, which on these NS40Z-fit vehicles is usually a Toyota-style top hook-down bar. Fuse the starter cable close to the battery at the cable origin using a fusible link or an ANL\/MIDI\/MEGA fuse sized to the cable gauge and cranking load, not a blade fuse at the terminal. For 24V series pairing in a trailer or auxiliary installation, pair two matched NS40Z MF units of the same age and state of charge. For modern European marques from 2008 onward with a BMS, reset the battery management system after installation using the manufacturer-specified procedure so the alternator relearns the battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Century","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32527687090285,"sku":"105154","price":165.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5941\/2333\/files\/Century_NS40ZL_MF_Hi-Performance_Battery.png?v=1764814373","url":"https:\/\/elevateauto.com.au\/products\/ns40z-mf-century-hi-performance-battery-12v-360cca-38ah","provider":"Elevate Automotive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
