A 12V 42Ah maintenance-free starter battery that holds Century's Ultra Hi Performance NS40Z tray spec. Fires modern NS40Z-fit Japanese petrol imports (Toyota Hilux, Hiace, Prado petrol, Ford Courier, Mazda B-Series, Nissan Navara petrol) with 410 CCA on tap, and keeps a 65 minute reserve for short-trip and accessory-heavy drivers. Sibling NS40ZSX MF covers the same tray in D polarity for mirrored vehicles.
Measures 196 by 128 by 201 mm (220 mm total height) and weighs 10.9 kg in a conventional poly case with a central vent, flame arrestor, carry handles, state-of-charge indicator and a mud-rack hold-down base. C polarity puts the positive post at the left as you look down on the top. Posts are STD tapered lead cones to suit the OE clamp style on NS40Z-tray vehicles. Calcium-calcium plate chemistry drops self-discharge to roughly 2% per month at 20°C.
This is a flooded calcium wet-cell starter battery, not an AGM, EFB or deep-cycle. Pair two in series for 24V use only when both are the same age and state of charge. Fuse at the starter or OE harness and keep the clamp torque within the post range (M6 at 5 to 7 Nm, M8 at 8 to 10 Nm).
What sets it apart
Designed and built in Australia for Australian climatic cycles. The Ultra Hi Performance line adds Century's over 15% extra starting power and 30% longer life vs the standard Hi Performance line, run through a mud rack base, platelock reinforcement, double-insulated separators and a flame-arrested lid.
Charging, mounting and fusing
Charge on the flooded wet-cell profile at 14.4 to 14.7 V bulk and 13.5 to 13.8 V float at 20°C with temperature compensation. AGM or lithium profiles will over-cook the plates. Mount on the vehicle's existing OE tray with the mud-rack base locating into the saddle, torque the posts (M6 at 5 to 7 Nm, M8 at 8 to 10 Nm), and fuse at the starter or OE loom not at the battery. For 24V series pairings, use matched cable gauge and a single fuse at the start of the run.
