Where it fits: the Optima YTS-2.7J is one of our batteries for caravans, belongs to our Optima batteries and by capacity it sits among our 38Ah batteries.

The Optima YTS-2.7J in practice

Which cars do our customers fit it to?

Mostly to Lexus CT and Toyota Prius Plus (2 orders with the vehicle identified). That those models use it does not guarantee it fits yours: check the plate, as tray and polarity vary by version.

The 12 V, 38 Ah Optima YTS-2.7J 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.

In short: the Optima YTS-2.7J (38 Ah, 460 A, 237 × 129 × 227 mm, positive terminal on the left). Verified equivalent alternatives: Varta A11 and Exide EK457.

  • 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.

Vehicles compatible with the Optima YTS-2.7J

The Optima YTS-2.7J is compatible with more than 9 vehicles: it is fitted as original equipment or as a replacement by brands such as Toyota and Lexus. It is a go-to option when you need a battery for a Toyota, Lexus or other models that use this same format. It is checked against 2 original-equipment references from different manufacturers.

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

Within the Optima catalogue, the Yellow Top series groups the references designed for this use. The YTS-2.7J is the 38 Ah model of that family, with the same performance as its siblings in other sizes.

Spiral AGM construction winds the plates into cylindrical pure-lead cells: maximum active surface, extreme vibration resistance and cranking current far above a battery of the same size.

Dimensions, polarity and mounting

In terms of format, the Optima YTS-2.7J measures 237 × 129 × 201 mm (length × width × height) 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 3 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Before replacing it, measure your current battery tray: if all three dimensions and the terminal positions match, the swap is direct and needs no adapters.

Why choose Optima batteries

Optima makes spiral-cell (SpiralCell) AGM batteries with pure lead: maximum vibration resistance, very powerful cranking and a durability recognised in 4x4, motorsport, marine and car audio. We guarantee that every Optima arrives new, charged and with the manufacturer's full warranty.

Care and maintenance

Charge with a voltage-controlled AGM charger; a fully discharged pure-lead battery may need a specific charger to recover. 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 YTS-2.7J comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered.

Shipping, delivery and returns

Orders placed before 6:00 pm with the battery in stock ship the same day. Delivery in mainland Spain and Portugal takes 24-48 working hours; for the Balearic Islands and the rest of the European Union allow 3 to 5 working days. You have 14 days to return an unused battery; in mainland Spain and Portugal collection is free. We email you the tracking number as soon as the parcel ships.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Optima YTS-2.7J an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?

Yes. The Optima YTS-2.7J is AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): sealed lead-acid, with the electrolyte absorbed in glass fibre. 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-2.7J model?

Measure the battery tray before ordering: a one-millimetre difference is enough for the hold-down clamp not to close. It measures 237×129×227 mm in length × width × height, with the terminals included in the height.

On which side is the positive of the YTS-2.7J model?

The YTS-2.7J has the positive on the left: that is its polarity. If your current battery has its positive on the other side, this one is not suitable without longer cables or a reconfigured system (short-circuit risk). Face the battery with its terminals nearest you and see which side the positive post (+, red ring) is on.

What barcode does this battery have?

Manufacturer part number (MPN): YTS-2.7J. ETN code: 8701760018882 (short form 870 176 001), the European identifier used in parts catalogues. EAN-13 barcode: 4016987113608. It belongs to the OPTIMA YELLOW TOP range. Any of them identifies this exact battery.
