Fits Japanese petrol imports that run on the NS40Z footprint, including earlier Toyota Hilux and Hiace petrol, Mazda B-Series petrol, Nissan Navara petrol and Ford Courier petrol. Sibling to the \u003cstrong\u003eNS40ZL MF\u003c\/strong\u003e on the standard Hi Performance line and the \u003cstrong\u003eNS40ZX MF\u003c\/strong\u003e D-polarity mirror for cars where positive sits on the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivers 400 cold cranking amps and 70 minutes of reserve capacity at 25 amps from a 42Ah C20 pack built around calcium plates with Platelock holding the stack together under vibration. The flame-arrested lid carries a built-in state-of-charge indicator and moulded carry handles, sits on a mud-rack base, and drops into the NS40Z tray at 195 by 127 by 200 mm (220 mm over the posts) at 10.3 kg bare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a flooded calcium wet-cell starter battery, not AGM, not EFB and not dual-purpose deep-cycle. Fit it to the designated starter position only, run engine-start loads rather than long auxiliary cycling, and if two are paired in 24V series match them by age and state of charge before coupling. Charger profile is standard flooded wet-cell (14.4 to 14.7V bulk, 13.5 to 13.8V float at 20°C) with temperature compensation; do not use AGM, Gel or Lithium profiles on this battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentury rates the Ultra Hi Performance line at 15 percent more cold-cranking power and 30 percent longer service life than the standard Hi Performance NS40ZL MF, driven by a heavier calcium plate pack and the Platelock internal brace. Mud rack and plate-locking combine with double-insulated separators and a flame-arrested lid to handle the vibration, heat and sloshing of 4WD, caravan tow and tray-truck duty cycles that the standard tier is not warranted for. Carries a 40-month Century warranty against manufacturing defects, ten months longer than the standard Hi Performance NS40ZL MF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCharging, mounting and fusing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharge on a flooded wet-cell profile at 14.4 to 14.7V bulk and 13.5 to 13.8V float at 20°C, with temperature compensation of around minus 18 mV per degree C above or below 20°C. The mud-rack base saddles the NS40Z tray without an adapter plate; torque the hold-down clamp to vehicle manufacturer spec (typically 5 to 8 Nm on a Toyota hook-down bar). Fuse at the starter cable rather than at the terminal, size to cranking current, and if coupling two in 24V series match age and resting state of charge within 10 percent before parallel-cabling. European marques built from 2008 onward with Battery Management Systems need a BMS reset after replacement so the alternator profile reprograms to the new battery age; the NS40Z footprint doesn't typically land in those cars, but worth checking if the car is a European-built van or ute conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Century","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32527692136557,"sku":"105165","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5941\/2333\/files\/105165.png?v=1719369969","url":"https:\/\/elevateauto.com.au\/products\/ns40zlx-mf-century-ultra-hi-performance-battery-12v-400cca-42ah","provider":"Elevate Automotive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
