Estates and Facilities Notice – EFN2501

GS Yuasa were made aware that a small number of UK manufactured SWL1100FR lead acid batteries were found with a fissure on the corner of the battery container. Electrolyte leakage via this fissure results in localised corrosion to the battery shelf or tray. On occasion this has resulted in earthing (a "short"), causing blackening of the battery container and smoke.
