What the Optima YTR-3.7 is for
With 48 Ah, the Optima YTR-3.7 is the habitation battery for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid. It recharges from the alternator, a solar panel or a mains charger. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 17 kg, 1 terminals and B1 hold-down.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
In terms of format, the Optima YTR-3.7 measures 237 × 172 × 168 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 17 kg. The positive terminal on the right decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses a B1 hold-down and 1 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. For a direct replacement, the current battery tray must accept these dimensions and the same terminal layout; otherwise adapters will be needed or the hold-down will change.
What Optima does differently
The Optima Red, Yellow and Blue Top are references for high-performance starting, deep cycling and marine use respectively, all with the characteristic six spiral-cell design. All the Optima batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
The Optima YTR-3.7: Yellow Top range and spiral-cell AGM technology
The YTR-3.7 is part of the Optima Yellow Top range. Choosing the right reference within the series comes down to capacity, dimensions and terminals: technology and quality are common to the whole family.
In a spiral-cell battery the electrolyte is absorbed and the plates are wound under pressure. That lets it deliver very high current peaks, recharge quickly and be mounted in any position.
Care and maintenance
Avoid routinely discharging the leisure battery below 50% and recharge it fully after every trip. During months of storage, keep it charged with a mains charger or a small solar panel; a battery left discharged for weeks loses capacity permanently.
Official warranty
The Optima YTR-3.7 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered.
Delivery times and returns
Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Optima YTR-3.7 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes, it is AGM. In an AGM battery such as the YTR-3.7, the electrolyte is not free but absorbed in a glass-fibre mat inside a sealed lead-acid battery. It withstands more cycles than a conventional battery and copes better with heat.
How much energy does this battery give a caravan?
It stores about 576 Wh. To make it last, it should not be discharged below half, so you have about 288 Wh usable: for example, an average load of 50 W for about 6 hours.
Can it be charged with solar panels?
Yes, with a charge controller (PWM or MPPT) set for AGM. It can also be charged by the vehicle alternator (ideally with a DC-DC charger) and by the 230 V charger when you are on hook-up at the campsite.
What size is this battery?
Measure your caravan's battery tray first; if the battery exceeds it by even a millimetre, the hold-down clamp may not close. Length × width × height: 237x172x197 mm. Height is measured to the top of the terminals. Hold-down: B1.
On which side is the positive of the YTR-3.7 model?
On the Optima YTR-3.7, the polarity is positive on the right. It must match your current battery: reversed polarity means lengthening cables or reconfiguring the system, with a risk of short circuit. To check, stand the battery in front of you with the terminals nearest you: the positive (+) is the one with the red ring.
What ETN and EAN codes does the Optima YTR-3.7 battery have?
Three codes identify this Optima: MPN YTR-3.7, ETN 8402220008882 (short form 840 222 000, the European parts-catalogue identifier) and EAN-13 4016987114667. It belongs to the OPTIMA YELLOW TOP range. Use them when asking for a quote or comparing prices.
