The 12 V, 38 Ah Optima YTS-2.7 battery from the Yellow Top range with spiral-cell AGM technology is designed for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid. It measures 237 × 129 × 201 mm and the positive terminal on the left, the format sought by anyone replacing a 38 Ah battery in motorhomes and caravans.

  • Low self-discharge during months of storage.
  • Sealed and gas-free: suitable for installation inside the living area.
  • Power for fridge, lighting, water pump and USB off-grid.
  • Spiral cells: maximum vibration resistance and very powerful cranking.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

The Optima YTS-2.7 is made in the 237 × 129 × 201 mm format and weighs 12.40 kg. The positive terminal on the left decides which side the cables end up on: it is the detail that causes most buying mistakes, so check it before ordering. It uses 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 the Optima YTS-2.7 is for

With 38 Ah, the Optima YTS-2.7 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 12.40 kg and 1 terminals.

The Optima YTS-2.7: Yellow Top range and spiral-cell AGM technology

The Yellow Top is the Optima range the YTS-2.7 belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.

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.

Optima: the maker behind the YTS-2.7

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.

Official warranty

The Optima YTS-2.7 comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered.

Care and maintenance

Charge with a voltage-controlled AGM charger; a fully discharged pure-lead battery may need a specific charger to recover. Avoid routinely discharging the leisure battery below 50% and recharge it fully after every trip.

Shipping, delivery 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 YTS-2.7 an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes, it is AGM. In an AGM battery such as the YTS-2.7, the electrolyte is not free but absorbed in a glass-fibre mat inside a sealed lead-acid battery. It tolerates heat better and handles more cycles than a conventional battery.

How much energy does this battery give a caravan?

It stores about 456 Wh. To make it last, it should not be discharged below half, so you have about 228 Wh usable: for example, an average load of 50 W for about 5 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 are the measurements of the YTS-2.7 model?

The Optima YTS-2.7 takes up 237×129×227 mm (length, width and height, terminals included). Before buying, measure the space in your caravan: one extra millimetre can stop the hold-down clamp from closing.

What polarity does the Optima YTS-2.7 battery have?

The YTS-2.7 has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on. A change of polarity from the original means longer cables or a reconfigured system and can cause a short circuit: check it before ordering.

What barcode does this battery have?

Manufacturer part number (MPN): YTS-2.7. ETN code: 8711760008882 (short form 871 176 000), the European identifier used in parts catalogues. EAN-13 barcode: 4016987113615. It belongs to the OPTIMA YELLOW TOP range. Any of them identifies this exact battery.

Optima YTS-2.7 or Exide EK457: which one to choose?

The Exide alternative that fits where the YTS-2.7 goes, with the same polarity. Compared with the YTS-2.7 it has 7 Ah more and 80 A of cold cranking less. It costs 57,50 € more. A straight swap with nothing to adapt; the difference is the price and the brand you prefer.
